TBC CRAFTER’S HOP (#TBCCRAFTERS) – 03/21/2013
Little Helper Craft
- (1) Tennis Ball (or more if you want to make a set)
- Drill
- Eyelets or Brads
- Glue
- Utility knife
- Screw & Screwdriver or Velcro
- Pencil
- & Time!!
Now, drill a hole for each eye, at the places where you have marked. I actually ended up using an awl to poke holes first, since the dumb drill was giving me an attitude about going in. 🙂 Drill a third hole in the back of the ball as close to center as possible, if you will be using the screw to hang. I just used Velcro strips.
Spread glue around the back of the eyelet and insert in the eye holes. Let this dry completely to secure. It is not necessary to use the back piece of the eyelets, since having to hammer them would be a bit hard. I wasn’t happy with my first go at it with the eyelets, so changed course and ended up using brads, which were much easier to put in, and you didn’t even have to drill them, just punched a hole with the awl and slid them in.
I can’t help but laughing. The little helper is just so cute, holding the towel and the toilet brush crack me up.
LOL! Mr. Tennis Ball definitely made me smile and chuckle. I love how he’s helping you all around the house. Totally adorable! Thank you for sharing!
Lol. That’s soooo cute!! Made me laugh. 😉
That’s a really neat idea. My husband would love this for his keys.
