{All Americian house mom}

{So as you can see we are going to be making the iron board covers, and the iron board hangers.}

For these 2 crafts these are the items you will need:
For the covers:
~Your sewing machine (if you have one)

~2 yards fabric of your choice (20x60) (you want me to get your fabric please let me know no later than Sunday night)

~1 spool thread to match

~Twine or elastic enough to fit all around the board




For the iron board hanger:

~I will get the hooks, boards and the paint. (White, Cream, & Black) ~If you want it to say anything please bring your own vinyl words or stencils with you. I will not provide this.

* Unless I hear from you by Sunday night I will assume you are getting your own sewing supplies.

I had this Idea that we could also make a cute board with how to clean laundry guide Our way I will have to keep hunting but this could be really cool and helpful for our families- Guide to stains and more.
