It does great work on soap gunk. But when it actually falls apart, I usually pitch it. Maybe I'll have to look at repurposing my next one.halomomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13534051176292660211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505872519744875885.post-68798860508184226442010-08-18T09:24:21.404-06:002010-08-18T09:24:21.404-06:00I like the back scrubber idea.

Just sew it, or glue it to some cute elastic to slide it on and off different pairs, or glue it to a pin back.Jenn @ Seeds on a Breezehttp://seedsonabreeze.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505872519744875885.post-65826153983697997602010-08-16T23:07:13.946-06:002010-08-16T23:07:13.946-06:00I see the Halloween thing too.

Spray paint a wreath base or even a cardboard shape black, gather it with a straight stitch and glue/wire this on then embellish for Halloween. Glittered black, orange, purple or even lime green bats, skulls, pumpkins, etc would look stunning against the black pouf.Ann @ makethebestofthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618787180208030510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505872519744875885.post-34378644741859051582010-08-16T12:52:21.230-06:002010-08-16T12:52:21.230-06:00Maybe barbie or doll tutus?

What I would do is get some cotton yarn (like Sugar & Cream--it's available at Michael's and Walmart and pretty cheap). Then I'd cut the yarn into strips and crochet it in a double strand--part yarn, part scratchy stuff. Here is a simple circular pattern:<br />Make two chains.<br />Do 6 single crochets(holding the two strands together) into the second chain from the hook. (In other words, the first chain you made.)<br />Chain one, and work back in the other direction: do a single right next to the chain you just made.<br />Now make 2 SCs in each loop around until you have 12. <br />Slip stitch into the starting chain, chain 1, then turn and go back the other way. Now you will make 2 chains in the next loop, then one chain. Repeat 2 in one loop and 1 in the next loop until you get to the end. You'll have 18 chains now.<br />Slip stitch, make a chain and turn. Now you're going to do 2 chains in one, then one chain each in the next 2. Like this: 2-1-1, 2-1-1. You'll end up with 24.<br />Just keep going around like this. You always start with 2 chains in one loop, but add an extra single crochet in each group. So you'll have 2 chains in one, then 1 single crochet in the next 3 to make 30. Then 2 in one and 1 in each of the next 4 to make 36. As you see, each round increases by 6. Just be sure to join each row with a slip stitch. You could also just keep doing this round-and-round but then you have to mark the beginnings. <br />I hope you don't mind the little tutorial!Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505872519744875885.post-91194695884976128582010-08-16T09:13:35.823-06:002010-08-16T09:13:35.823-06:00What about cutting it in strips and using it to cr...What about cutting it in strips and using it to crochet a pot scrubber or a small basket?
