Copy Cat Bath and Body Foam Soap

Well Hello and Happy Friday!

Thank God for this long weekend right?

My kiddo's are super excited to have 3 days off, and so is Mama!

Anyway, today...

I wanted to show you a little hack I have been doing for a while around my house.

It's so super cheap too!

I've been making my own foam soap that smells just as good as the real stuff (Bath and Body).

At $6.50 a bottle that can really add up. The way I am going to show you, it will only cost 33 cents per bottle. 

Heck ya, that's a huge difference.

So lets begin.

If you don't already have some foaming soap bottles, then you can buy these at a dollar store.

The soap however that comes in it is almost scentless. It way to cheap.

But the bottle will come in handy so save it. 

Then while you're out get some Suave fruit scented shampoos, like these.

They will run you about $1 to $1.50 depending on the size.

But the $1.50 ones will have more ounces, so you're only paying more for more shampoo, not less.

Then fill about 2/3 of the bottle with shampoo.

Then fill 3/4 of the bottle with water.

Get a lovely assistant to shake them up for you.

Once the bubbles have settled, add a just a little more shampoo to top it off and shake it up again.

And now I have yummy fruity smelling foam soap, for pennies.

Sshh don't tell my guests. I put this recipe back into the B&B bottles and they really never know the difference!

Also if the fruit smelling ones aren't your thing, they have plenty of scents to choose from.

And Look out for these flavors for the holidays...

Thanks so much for tuning in!

Until Next Time...

Vera Bradley Tablet Case Hack

I just love the style of Vera Bradly!

But I don't love the price too much.

I mean this same, well similar case cost $30. 

I mean wow, your paying for her name.

Well, I made a similar case for guess what, 
$0.

Oh ya, baby!

Ok, lets get started.

A Big THANK YOU, to my Grandma for giving me two big boxes of Vintage Scrap Material.

I am loving it all, and have decided to use this piece for my case!

And in that box, some thinner batting material.

I made my case for a 7 inch tablet. 

I cut both pieces 12 1/2 inches x 10 inches.

First start out doing diagonal lines.

I used the footer as my guide to space the lines.

This is what your piece will look like when you have completed the one set of diagonal lines.

Now turn your work the other way around, and make diagonal lines going the opposite way.

That will make your X pattern.

For the inside, I chose a similar color and made it the same size.

I drew a line down the middle so I would know where the fold goes.

I cut a piece to go inside the to hold the tablet, and ironed the edges.

On one side of the width I sewed it where the opening goes.

and then pinned it to the pink fabric and sew all the way around except for the opening.

Now its time to sew the front and inside together.

Match up the pattern side to the front side of your inside fabric (right sides together).

Sew 1/4 inch all the way around except for the last 6 inches.

Cut your corners so they lay right when you flip it.

Flip it right side out and then fold and pin the two fabrics together and sew.

And there you go, 

now you have your very own case! 

Thanks for tuning in!

Until Next Time...
