Scrubber Sponge, Dish Soap Dispenser, Vase, and more.

Scrubber Sponge, Dish Soap Dispenser, Vase, and more.
I enjoy saving empty containers and packaging to make things out of.  When I was little my mother made some amazing things out of stuff around the house.  These instructions will show how to make a sponge scrubber, a plastic vase, remove sticky labels from jars, how to make your own pump soap re-fills, and fold a calender page envelope,


Here is a picture of a flat sponge that I covered with net packaging from fruit.  I save the ones that are usually a little heavier because it makes since to me that they would hold up better. I wanted to make a scrubber for my sponge. This is what I came up with.  A person probably could make this without sewing it.  I avoid glue because it usually don't work for me.
