I found my late mom's sprinkler bottle, only hers is plastic, with a turquoise shaker top. Talk about 60's! Brings back many memories, of using an old agitator washer with a wringer, and hanging the clothes up to dry. Knowing how to use that washer proved a blessing and a curse.....when I worked kitchen staff in summer camp I was the only "kid" who even knew what it was. So I got the job of getting up extra early to do the kitchen laundry and get it hung before we fixed breakfast. Doing laundry outdoors next to a lake is still a unique memory. And I can still flip a mean pancake!

I took the lid off of a water bottle and used the smallest drill bit I could find to drill a number of tiny holes in the lid and then used it to sprinkle my fabric. Boy did that make the job easier.
