Our bathroom door has not stayed open for months and we need to keep it open for humidity purposes. Here was our solution until last week:
I was tired of this wadded up rag and wanted something that looked nicer and was still functional. I also did not want to spend anything and challenged myself to look around for supplies we already had on hand.
I am sooooo excited about what I came up with! I had some khaki fabric and stitched this into a small bag. I sewed the bottom into a sideways "I" shape to help it stand up and cut a piece of cardboard from a box flattened for the trash to fit in the bottom. Then I put in dried pinto beans and tied it with twine. I tied some old-looking keys that I found in the Michael's scrapbooking department with a 40% of coupon. I love this solution!
Total time from old rag to cute little bag: 10 minutes
Total spent: Zero!

Dear Monica:
This is a great solution -- it was so fun to be there with you when you created it and share your enthusiasm!
Lots of love,
Mom
That's a great idea. I keep looking for some type of faux stone statue or something. But either they are ugly or too light. My problem door is the front door and I often like it open to let the sunshine in. I'll have to come up with something like this.
That is a wonderful solution! I love the keys hanging on it!
Monica, that is soooo cute!
Very cute! I have the same problem with my bathroom door. I have a ton of seashells around and I just chose a pretty one and that became my doorstop.
That is so adorable!
Love this idea and the simplicity of it.
