Although I would love to take credit for this amazing idea.... I am not the creative genius behind these sponge rag rollers. This is a (gasp) copied design! I first saw this idea on Pinterest (where else?) http://pinterest.com/hair4myprincess which led me to a very fun blog called "The Mother Huddle" http://www.themotherhuddle.com/diy-foam-rag-rollers/ which you should definitely check out!

I'm typically not really much of a crafter, but this is one of those projects that I could not pass up. No sewing or gluing involved, very quick and easy, fairly inexpensive, and a great end result. This needed to happen, and needed to be shared!

We have always loved the overnight curls created by standard sponge (or foam) rollers. I remember using these when I was a little girl, so they have been around for a long time! But "The Princess" doesn't particularly enjoy sleeping in them because the plastic clamps (which secure the rollers to your head) typically end up poking her at some point during the night. We have also had problems with her long hair getting snagged and tangled around the edges and hinges of these rollers, which can be a nightmare when it is time to take them out. And, as much as I love classic "rag curls" for certain occasions, they are not my favorite because the curls can end up being very tight and frizzy looking. These sponge rag rollers really are the best of both worlds. Nice, smooth, uniform curls, and no discomfort while you are sleeping!

We opted for the largest size of sponge rollers we could find, as we wanted soft, loose, and bouncy curls this time. You can definitely purchase smaller rollers if you prefer tighter curls though. The ones we ended up buying are made by "Conair" and I noticed at least 3 different sizes available and several other brands while we were looking.
These curls are going to come out a little bit different depending on how you wrap them up as well. We chose to wrap them up horizontally this time, which creates more of a tousled, natural looking curl. You could wrap them vertically instead for more of a spiral look.
