Somewhere on here I read of a clever way of making a snake stay attached to the door, so that when you opened the door the snake went back with it when it closed. Anybody know how to do that ?
Also how do you make a door curtain that will cover the facing and yet not catch in the door when you open it ?0 -
Hi Mardatha
Glad I didn't get this thread confused with the Vegetarian sausages one he he! :rotfl:
Hmmmm.... they would need to be connected at both ends to the door... check this thread to see if there's any ideas in there. Maybe with a simple tab connected to a mini hook on the door? Thinking out loud here.....:D
Ill add your thread to that one later
thanks

I am miffed. I made the double roll one featured on one of those links and it works fine, but the daughter laughed at it and thinks it's silly. I hope she uses it.

You need a portiere rod for the door curtain it liffts the curtain as the door is opened and drop it down when the door closes. Look on E bay.Was 13st 8 lbs,Now 12st 11 Lost 10 1/4lbs since I started on my diet.0
