A great project for the school holidays or the whole family😃

Fiona from Henderson

With of this handy idea you can make yourself a lovely and fluffy little rug.
This rug is super easy to make.

You will need the following:
🔸Empty toilet rolls
🔸Wool in several different colours
🔸Scissors
🔸An anti-slip bath mat with small holes

Instructions:
🔹Place two toilet rolls together and wrap a good amount of wool around it. Next, use a little bit of wool to wrap between the two toilet rolls and then remove the toilet rolls from the wool.
🔹Tie a knot in the small piece of wool you used to keep the wool together and then cut open the sides of the wool.
🔹Use the scissors to trim the wool so it forms a nice round ball.
🔹Get out the anti slip bath mat and tie the ball to it.
🔹Repeat this process until the entire bath mat is covered in woollen balls like in the picture above

Once you’ve tied all of these woollen balls to the bath mat, you’ve got yourself a super cute rug!

See video as well is the above instructions seem a bit confusing.
Also there a few other ideas on the side panel of the video.:

I am looking for someone who wants to renovate or refresh their kitchen

Fabian from Te Atatu South

Makeover your kitchen the easy way!

Dear group,

I hope you are all doing well! I posted a few days ago and I wanted to check again to see if anyone is interested in refreshing their kitchen without removing any furniture or appliances.

I am offering to renovate the kitchen with high-quality vinyl wrap. Which costs about $100 per meter. You only pay for the materials. I would be happy to receive a small credit for my work at the end. This way we can work together to find a cost-effective solution that will make your kitchen look fresh and modern.

If you are interested or have any questions, it would be great if you could send me pictures of your kitchen cabinets. This way I can better estimate how much material we will need and give you a more accurate cost estimate.

I am still gaining experience in this area and hope that with your help I can continue to improve my skills. I look forward to your feedback and to creating something great together!
