We all have those plastic grocery bags, cluttering some part of our house. Now you can have a decorative place to hide them.

This project is easy but does require simple sewing machine skills. Half a yard of fabric is enough for this project. You will also need two pieces of elastic, one measuring approx. 6 inches long and no bigger that 1/8 inch thick. First, cut two strips of the fabric, approx. 2 1/2 inches wide. These strips are going to make ties for the holder to hang. Sew the two ends of the fabric together, making a tube, leaving an opening at the top, big enough for a door knob.

Hem each end of the tube, allowing enough space for elastic. Leave an opening on both ends to thread elastic through. Once you have the ends sewn, thread your elastic through (pinning a safety pin to one end of the elastic helps to thread it through), stitching the ends of the elastic together. This can be hung an any door knob.

Supplies Needed:

• Fabric ( approx.1/2 yard)
• Sewing machine
• Thread
• 2 pieces of Elastic ( approx.6 inches in length)
• Safety pin (optional)

This project is so easy and very inexpensive. This can be made with things lying around the house. They make great gifts because you can personalize them.

I have made a few of these, a golf theme, dog theme and angel theme. I started off by purchasing frames from my local $1 store. I then went to my local craft store and found some great plastic novelty buttons. There are so many different themes to chose from. With a pair of wire cutters (heavy scissors would work) I cut off the back tab of the button, so it would lie flat. I then placed all of the different buttons I wanted to use in various places on the frame. Make sure you are happy with the placement of the buttons before you glue them down. Once you are done, you have a one of a kind, personalized frame that was very low cost.

Supplies Needed:

• Picture Frame
• Plastic Buttons (anything can be used as long as the back surface is flat)
• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
