Here's another thing I've been working on. I am in a practicum right now and need a thank you for my cooperating teacher. We decided to get her a little something to do with her two sons over the summer.

I found these really cute sponge balls on Pinterest and I thought I'd try them out. They were SUPER EASY!!

I went to Dollar Tree and found a pack of 10 sponges.

Then I cut them in half once, and then again (four pieces per sponge).

Then I grouped 6 pieces together like this. 

And put a zip tie around them. 

Then pull it tight. You want it tight enough that the sponges will stay together but if you go too tight the sponges will break. 

Last I cut off the extras. 

This project was super easy! I made 6 sponge balls and even had one sponge left over. These will be fun this summer when it's hot! Not bad for $1!!!
