I used snaps on mine, but it was very difficult due to the faux leather. I guess you could use velcro.

Anyone have ideas for closures besides tying bows??

Thanks for the reply Corky. I'm sure the men would prefer snaps or velcro instead of bows!!

I make mine with velcro and they work like a charm. Great for travelling to put coins, jewellery in on the table or night stand. My watch always goes in mine.

I wish I still had the pictures of the basket I made using kitchen towels and with towels from the same set of towels, I machine embroidered kitchen designs a set of three towels. I rolled up the towels with the designs facing up and placed in them in basket. Made a cute hostess gift for a friend. She said later she used the basket as a bread basket on her Christmas table.
