Beard Trimmings Catcher

For those of you who's significant other is sporting facial hair then you understand the pain in finding those little hairs all over the bathroom sink. No matter how hard they try to clean it up some still escape. So when I stumbled upon this clever little trick to help, I rushed right out to buy what was needed to make it. I will also add that I gave this as a funny Christmas gift to my fiancé.

Materials Needed:

Black apron

Two Medium Suction cups

White acrylic paint

Paint brushes

Mustache or beard printout

Scissors

Superglue

White fabric pencil

Ruler

What to do:

First thing is to prepare the apron. I couldn't find one that didn't have a front pocket on it (which I assumed would be a horrible idea as a hair catcher) so I had to remove the pocket using a seam ripper. Then removed the back tie straps, just snipped them right off with the scissors (close to wear the seam holding it on is).

Next step was to add the suction cups to the bottom corners of the apron. On the back side of the apron I made 1 centimeter marks 3 centimeters for the edge both horizontally and vertically. Then I cut along the 1 centimeter line to get a hole to put the knob on the suction cup in. Do a trial to make sure the suction cup will fit in the hole made. After checking the fit put super glue along the edge of the knob on the suction cup (see picture below) and carefully insert into the hole, making sure the suction cup is at the back side of the apron.

The last step is to add the design. I cut out the mustache and used the outline left from cutting out and traced it onto the front of the apron using a white fabric pencil. Once you have the outline I used a fine paint brush to go around the border, then a thicker brush to fill in, it took 3 coats of the white acrylic paint to get it coated.

Let the paint dry and then your done!
