Pinned It, Made It! Monday





I hate using plastic wrap and decided to make some 

As I was making these, I felt like I was having deja vu--I really think I made one before but couldn't find where I blogged about it or the finished project.   I  used two pieces of cotton and since I didn't have the correct size of elastic I cut what I had in half. :-) For the pattern I pulled out a big plate and added a few inches around the side. I want to make a few with patriotic/ 4th of July material to use this summer. I think I'll try another tutorial for that one. Below are a few I had pinned but I know there are more out there!

I really like this one, it's neat and no ragged edges--if I was making one for a gift this would be great.

I also had a pin  for making the elastic band part only ----  you could use a tea towel or whatever you had on hand to place over the bowl, I think I was looking to hard for that pin and could not find it, I know it's there somewhere.

These are really cute, and would absolutely be so much fun to make for the holidays! (You got me wondering if I have any patriotic fabric!) ~tina

Allison,

Plastic wrap can by annoying. I like this idea and they're so colorful and pretty!

Thanks for participating in Pinned it Made it Monday!

I've seen reuseable plastic ones, but how have I not seen fabric bowl covers? Love it!
