If you've been looking for a project, this is a simple house cleaning tool that will serve you well.
How-To
For this project, you'll start with wool. These can be scraps or pieces (you'll be cutting them into narrow strips) and you can choose to go with one color, multicolored, or just a hodge-podge of your favorites!
You'll also need: Velcro strips, glue, and a sewing machine.
- Cut the wool into small strips.
- Cluster some of the strips together into a small bundle and place against the back of one side of the Velcro.
- Sew the strips on, then add another bundle. Keep doing that until you've filled the Velcro.
- Glue the back of the Velcro match to the dowel and let dry.
- Once dry, you just attach the duster head you made from the wool to the Velcro—remove to wash!
Wool naturally attracts dust, and being able to wash and reuse it makes this project not just a quick DIY, but also an incredibly useful tool—this one's a winner.
