DIY Resuable Face Scrubbies

If you're a crafty person like me, you probably have your fair share of random pieces of yarn. All those little left over tidbits from previous projects just seem to accumulate forever, yet you feel guilty throwing them away. Well you're in luck, because this simple project doesn't require much more than a tidbit of yarn and very little time. 

Summer Garden Circle Pattern

To make a basic scrubby, all you need is about 6-10 feet of yarn and a crochet hook that is the appropriate size for you yarn. Simply make a "magic circle" and build out until you've reached your desired diameter. For an aesthetic touch, you can add another color or try a pattern (see images above and left). For extra scrubbing power, use a a more tough yarn like Sugar and Cream, and for a gentle scrub try a brand like Bernat Softee Baby Yarn. Also, tighter weaves will hold more soap, whereas a slightly loose weave will absorb more water thus creating a larger amount of suds (my preference).

And if all this sounds great, however you'd just like to buy a nice handmade face scrubby for yourself, check out this one from Silvashop on Etsy. (It even comes with a strap, which can also be made by simply creating a chain at the end of the circle and tying if off to the opposite end).
