Firewood Carrier

I made a firewood carrier following instructions from marthastewart.com.
It has already become so handy. Instead of making multiple trips to carry several logs and fatwood from the outside pile to the living room, the carrier makes it possible in one short trip. I made mine from a pretty piece of canvas that matches our living room.

Here's how to make your own:

Materials:

• 2/3 yards of 45-inches wide canvas (22- X 42-inch)
• 30-inches rope
• 4 grommets and eyelets
• Grommet tool
• Hammer

Directions:

• Cut the fabric to 22 by 42 inches.
• Fold the long sides over 1 inch, and then fold them over again to create a 1-inch double
• Press, pin, and sew.
• Fold the short ends over 1.5 inches, and then fold them over again creating a 1.5-inch double hem.
• Press, pin, and sew.
• Measure and mark 4.5 inches from the corners on the short ends.
• Make small holes where you have placed marks.
• Insert a grommet on one side and align the eyelet on the other side.
• Using the grommet tool and a hammer, install the grommets/eyelets.
• Repeat for all 4 grommets.
• To reinforce the knots in the rope, install washers between the grommet and rope knot.
• Cut the 30-inch piece of rope in half.
• Insert rope into each grommet and tie a knot.
• Repeat for all 4 ends.
