A Little Project

Last week, we had new french doors installed right off our kitchen. Well...with boys running in and out all day....I soon realized....I needed a doorstop....or I'd be paying for new doors...again.

So...this is what I came up with. An idea I saw somewhere...at some point...I believe it was Cath Kidston. A rice door stop.

I went through my fabrics...chose three coordinating patterns and got busy.

1. Cut six 7 inch squares...2 of each pattern....making the finished project a 6 inch cube.

2. Put the pretty sides together and sew.

3. This is how it will look as your sewing the fabric squares together. Make sure you place the fabrics in the correct place on the cube....the same patterns should be opposite each other.

4. Here's what your cube will look like when your all done sewing. Make sure to leave a little opening to turn the cube inside out and add the rice.

5. Turn your cube inside out...fill with rice...and hand stitch the small opening close.

And there you have it....a sweet door stop.
