Scrubby Pads

 There's no need to throw away the mesh bags that fruits and veggies come in. I must say I am very proud of my friend, Christy, for not throwing away her mesh bag. She didn't know why she was saving it, but knew it could be used for something.  So, when she asked me what that something was, I told her,"A scrubby pad for dishes!" It works wonderfully for removing stuck-on food from dishes.  My grandma has crocheted some that worked great! So, here's how I made one. . .

There were two plastic strips I cut off, then I turned the bag inside out. 




 
Next, I gave a loose twist just below the plastic tag. (plastic tag comes in handy when grime has almost become part of the pan)





 Then, I tucked it inside the bag and repeated the process of twisting and tucking.



  


Finally, I tucked and shaped the last little bit until it was the way I wanted it. (A few stitches could be used to help reinforce it from coming undone, but not necessary)

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
