Title: Suggestions please for a quick project
Post by: Happymrsg on August 22, 2017, 09:09:25 AM
I have made my friend some cushions. There's some fabric left over & I'm trying to think of something I could make as an additional gift for her to go in the living room with the cushions.
Any thoughts? :fabric:

One of those fabric door stops might be nice.  I'm thinking of the pyramid or conical shaped ones with a fabric loop on top, weighted with sand.  Or choose some other appropriate shape and design.

Thanks so much for that link SS, I love the idea of the door jammer.  I have a horror of doors slamming, and trapping little fingers. 

Should be a quick make too.

If you don't have sand and you're in a hurry, you can use rice. Beware of greedy greedy dogs though...ask me how I know.  :[

I'm more likely to have sand than rice  :D

I'm going to have a go at one of those things which hook round the doorknobs to stop the door slamming. I worry about little fingers.
