Testing homemade kitchen scrubbers

I saw on Pinterest that people were making kitchen scrubbers from netting/ tulle. I thought it would be a great idea and so I picked up some from the remnants bin at walmart of all places (hey it was cheap and for a test I thought .75 cents was better then 1.50

I rolled it up and cut into 2 inch wide strips (I found that was easier then trying measure and use the rotary cutter) I then knotted the strips together. I then sat down with the picture (I am not good at following instructions) and got to work. I used my largest crochet hook, and started by using single crochet but after that did not look that great I made a 2nd using double crochet. It came out better but then I got an idea and made one that fits over 2 fingers.

3rd, 1st, 2nd

I have used them for a few weeks now and they are not as good as the ones you can buy, but I think that a larger tulle would make a better scrubber. they are great for delicate items and the one that fits over my fingers is great for a gentle face scrub (I would not use it every day but once in a while as needed) The one that used the double crochet is better, as the photo shows it has less open space. They do curve a little but that is ok for using them.

I would not rely on these in the kitchen but I am not sorry I have them, and I think I will keep one in the kitchen from now on.
