    You could do this for storing

  2. This would be great for knitting/crocheting supplies.

  3. KJ McElroy says:

    Yeah, but skip the plastic, skip adhesive, and go to the thrift, buy a basket, wash it and let it dry..

  4. Why do I try and see these stupid things. Can never see it!

  5. Edie French says:

    JUST LOVE THIS IDEA …

  6. Would be good for any catch all items, I use baskets for everything.

  7. Dalene Weiss says:

    just by the basket in the color you want………

  8. Wasn’t able to see what she did!

  9. Have to keep clicking on the arrow.

  10. Stacy Moyano says:

    used spray glue to glue decorative fabric to the outside of a cheap plastic basket. Making it look like one of those expensive wicker ones… very clever idea…

  11. I like these. You could just decorate with ribbon. Wouldn’t these be nice for a gift holder rather than a bag?

  12. not very practical, not sure it would hold up to use

  13. Jeannie Bell says:

    Now I can make a Pretty laundry basket ! Or 2 or 3 !

  14. Salina Hart says:

    old sheets would work too

  15. I have a bunch of these baskets. I bought out my dollar tree last month .

  16. Leann Webb says:

    these sites are all but worthless to try to look at

  17. Fun idea… I like it…

  18. I have several smaller boxes I cover with material according to the seasons…..keep them next to my chair to store my tv remotes, phone, paper, pen, scissors, nail clippers, pocket calendar etc…..mine have held up for years….show no signs of wear.

  19. Looks like a lot of work

  20. Not for heavy storage, as these are very flimsy!

  21. I did this with adhessive shelf lining and slender 18″ high same size cardboard boxes. They are for keeping the dirty clothes sorted and a waste basket. Room is small and they don’t take up much space.

  22. Waste of my time when I have to navigate all the ads purposely placed so you accidently “click” on them….they get paid for those clicks we do for them.

  23. Patti Murray says:

    all I did was click on ‘next page’…. brought it right up, directions and pix~

  24. Gail Sands, look what you can do with all the bins, so after you move, you can start doing crafts…

  25. Gail Sands says:

    OMG I wont have the energy after all this, I been packing and doing stuff all morning. Where are you? I need my packing buddy to help me. Never got any phone call re: books this am.

  26. I am home putting my things away, I see that her father is really not doing good. I think it is very trying for her going up north each day to see her father. Very sad…

  27. Gail Sands says:

    OH, what a shame. I am not aware of that info.

  28. No ads for me either

  29. I have some ugly dish pans ..going to give this a try in kitchen for extra storage..thanks for ideal…

  30. That thing looks like crap. Seriously, I want my time back.

  31. Joy Hilton says:

    Another great idea .. Thanks Beverly 🙂

  32. Those baskets are so flimsy though, they’d break easily!

  33. When you are on a budget and live on a certain amount of money this is a good idea. Not everyone has money to actually buy nice things with.

  34. i would cut a piece of heavy cardboard the exact size of the bottom and after folding and glueing all the fabric up and over the sides and down place a fabric covered carboard bottom in to hold everything in place and also it can be replaced if anything leaks or spills in the bin. I think I will do this in my pantry, and make a pocket to hold a label of what is in the bin, I love them for package mixes, like seasonings, or cookie mix bags, I use one for my instant oatmeal, all lined up and no boxes to find empty or withonely one left, it allows me to know when I need to refill them, I also use these slightly larger, with RICE/POTATO/PASTA MIXES and another with CRACKERS, BREADING, COOKIES written on the bin also on the front of the shelf inside my pantry. so when I am unloading groceries I can toss them in the bin and later tidy them when I reach in to use one. I have a coffee/tea/cocoa section, and a PASTA only one, the Pasta mentioned above is in a mix, the Pasta only is for all those weird shapes of pasta, I pull the bin out, choose what I want and shove it back. I aldso put in adhesive mounted push lights so I can see way back in the pantry. (My pantry was designed by me, it is like a refrigerator sized box that was fit into a hole in the wall I cut, which juts out over the stairs to the basement, unused space, totally wasted until I designed the pantry. I had a day care and needed lots of supplies, land had horrible shelves i the kitchen open to sight.
