Pinned it, Made It! Monday ~ Week 6 ~

It’s Monday and that means it’s time for Pinned it Made it! If you’re new to Pinned it Made it! Monday, let me explain. It’s just a time to share something that we’ve pinned on Pinterest and then actually followed through with, be it a recipe, craft, idea or whatever. It has really motivated me to do something with those wonderful ideas on my many Pinterest boards! I hope it will do the same for you. Won’t you join me this week for Pinned it, Made it! Monday?


I pinned the recipe for homemade fabric softener awhile back and I finally made the time Saturday to mix up a batch. It was really easy and it smells SO good! And how economical!  Fabric softeners are so expensive in the store!

Here’s the pin (originally from The Frugal Girls).

 
What You’ll Need:

• 6 cups HOT water
• 3 cups white vinegar
• 2 cups Suave Refreshing Waterfall Conditioner {or other favorite scent}

What You’ll Do:

• Mix conditioner & hot water well, until conditioner is dissolved completely.
• Add the vinegar, and mix well.
• Store in a large container {empty fabric softener container, empty large vinegar bottle, etc}
• Pour into a downy ball… or use approx. 2 tbsp. in the fabric softener spot in your laundry machine… then wash!

**Note from Tammy **   I couldn’t get my conditioner to dissolve completely in the hot water (maybe my water wasn’t hot enough....it was as hot as I could get it coming from the faucet), but I remedied that by pulling out my hand-held blender. It took care of those small flakes of conditioner that didn’t completely dissolve. That made it perfectly smooth!

I put mine in mason jars (just because I love them and think everything looks better in a mason jar) and tied a little raffia bow around the top because everybody knows how much ladies love our pretty packaging, right?

Isn’t that the prettiest blue?

I’d really love to see what you’ve been up to as well!  Won't you join me today?

And I have another treat for you! Are you enjoying the Sunporch Chats? Well if you are, come back this Wednesday because I have another guest coming over to my sunporch for a chat!  :)  Annie is a very sweet Christian lady that I know you’ll love.  Many of you may not know her yet as I met her through another avenue in blogland, but she is precious! She loves the Lord and her family and truly practices her faith and compassion everyday and it radiates! You won’t want to miss her visit!

Thank you, my friends, for stopping by! Have a wonderful week! :)
