This got a good giggle outta me ~ I'm on the 4th one tonight! I was "playing" and made a cute mini one... great for holding my threads / mini Ginghers, seamripper, extra bobbins ... it was cute, DD tried to swipe it... ("but, mom! that's the perfect size for my barrette twisties!") ... so on to the 3rd one for her dresser, and now a 4th one for a friend that said she just has to have one... LOL

Won't call myself an expert by any means... but these are kinda fun & addicting... pics of the new ones tomorrow!

ROFL...

Here are a few new ones, ok, I have to admit, once I figured out how this all worked, they are kind of ADDICTING! :oops: hubby now has a mini bowl for his keys, too, not pictured

I made a 2nd one like this, just a smidge taller, for daughter's dresser... she was trying to take mine, how dare she!

someone asked about the regular fabric baskets I mentioned... here is a sample, they take less time to put together, and make their own little pockets automatically... great for holding my crochet tools at the ready:
