String Soap Saver Bag

This soap saver bag is made from standard kitchen cotton string. It is fast and easy to make and you could use Speed Cro Sheen instead of string to make it. I had some left over kitchen string from when I measured out my garden, so I decided to use it up for this pattern.

Random Quick Tip!

The Cranberry Sauce Slides Right Out
I do this myself whenever I open a can of cranberry sauce. Open the can as you normally would then turn it upside down and break the seal on the other end either with the sharpe end of a bottle opener or your can opener. (This releases the pressure in the can.) Then shake it just a little and the cranberry should just slide out. It works best when the can is at room tempurature. You can then put it in a bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the fridge until it is time to serve it. It is great time saver.
