I. Let’s do this thing!.
I find it keeps everything neat and tidy and saves me from trying (and failing) to draw a straight line.. For one cord cover, I had 2 strips of fabric that measured a total of 1.5 times the length of my cord when placed end to end.This gave me the ruffly effect.
Each strip was 5 inches wide to make the cord cover 2 inches wide and allow a 1/2 inch for the seams.So if my cord was 60 inches long, that means that each strip was 45 inches by 5 inches.. Once I had my strips all cut out.I ironed a little fold over to finish up the ends of each piece and sewed them all up.. Then I folded the whole thing in half, then I sewed along the edge using black thread because I didn’t feel like changing the bobbins, then one of my bobbins ran out halfway through so I had to change it anyway.
I put another black in for consistency.Why I needed to be consistently the wrong color, I don’t know, but it just felt right.. Once everything was all sewn up, I turned all 4 mini covers right side out and put them onto my cords!
I love my overly dramatic lamp cords.
If you can’t hide it, feature it!.Fill the bowl up with warm water and add in about 1/2 cup of baking soda, stirring it so it dissolves completely.
Add in about 20 drops of your essential oil of choice.I grabbed the lavender to use for this project, so that’s what’s in the picture, but when I opened the bottled I discovered it was empty!
So I used lemon instead.🙂 My kitchen, and the hair brush, both ended up smelling amazing.. Leave the brush to soak for about 30 minutes.
