I honestly didn't think there was anything in the world that would ease my hatred of doing laundry, but I think I found it! These crafts are so unexpected and fun, and some of them are really beautiful, too. My favorite is definitely the Recycled Laundry Scoop Christmas Scene, it is so cute and clever. I will be making one this holiday season!
