Dust cover from a shower curtain

Everything Else
1

Since my Glowforge is in the garage, I wanted to protect it from dust, etc when not in use. This $5 shower curtain from Amazon did the trick. You don’t really need a pattern. Just cut the corners, fold and tape the hem with masking tape and sew on a regular sewing machine. Make it bigger than you think you want so it is easy to take on and off.

I remove the exhaust hose when not in use to keep the bugs and critters from crawling into the Glowforge. The cover also drapes over the exposed exhaust port.

That is a very clever use for a shower curtain, and gives me a plan to cover a griddle in the garage from sawdust! Thanks for sharing your project :heart_eyes_cat::heart_eyes_cat::heart_eyes_cat:

Looks great! When using plastic sheets I have been using heat sealers instead of sewing, but then I am terrible at sewing

In the past, I have purchased shower liners at the Dollar Tree for a $1. They might have shower curtains.

We use the shower liners to cover the outside plants if a frost is expected.

Sounds like a better idea than using all my spare sheets and blankets to cover plants from frost :joy_cat::joy_cat::joy_cat:

ROTFLMAO!!!

I remember the days using old sheets to cover the plants.

TIPS

  1. Purchase 20-30 bricks.

  2. On your driveway —- lay out some of those light weight Dollar Tree shower liners and attach 2 edges together with a stapler. This larger piece can be draped over large flowering bushes. Place the bricks to hold the liners down.

I just use the giant plastic bag the printer came in. Works great.
