But a friend drug me to a thrift store a few weeks ago and I found these napkins with the original Faberware and Crate and Barrel tags still on them. I loved the fabrics so I brought the napkins home, even though I had no idea what I’d do with them (my family doesn’t like to use cloth napkins, so I knew the obvious option was out).
I’m a mom of 3, a veteran, military spouse. I’ve moved into 20+ homes all around the world. My passion is helping busy people make the space and time for what’s really important to them. Learn more about Organized 31 and me.
These are really cute and a great use of cloth napkins. I have been wanting to make something like these for my sewing room.
You made me laugh with your descriptions of all things sewing!
Thank you for linking up to the In and Out of the Kitchen link party! I look forward to seeing what you bring to the party next week!
Wow! Very cool! I was looking at some organizing cloth totes at Bed and Bath and debated about buying them. The smallest ones were $7. Do you think, considering the cost of your time, that it’s cheaper to make them? Another thought for improving the sturdiness of the box – put wire into the corners.
Thanks for linking up at Fabulously Frugal Thursday! I can’t wait to share your boxes on the Pinterest board.
Barb, good question. I like that I was able to repurpose the cloth napkins and I like that I could pick the fabric that I want not just what’s available on the store shelf. While $7 is a pretty good price, I’d still stick to making them so I have control over the fabric choices. And it really doesn’t take very long to make. Great idea about the wire to give the box shape!
What a great idea!! I love how individual you can make these organizing boxes, and they can be so expensive at the store!! We are starting a link up party on Thursdays (today:), and we would love for you to join us with this post and/or any others you would like to include. We are at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you there!!
