8. Now use it! Fill it with hair things for the bathroom, school supplies for a teacher gift, or fruit for your countertop! I'm serious. The possibilities are endless! This is such an easy way to add the perfect touch of color to a room. Go ahead, use up those scraps from the baby quilt project, and if you aren't a sewer you could use old sheets or t-shirts!
Now, I made this basket for my little boy. I thought the tied knots (where 2 strips of fabric were tied together) looked like bows. Bows are girly. I made an effort to tie my fabric together on the inside of the basket to keep the knot/bows mostly inside; less girly.

So great! I just made some of these tonight for my girls using $.99 t-shirts from the local Goodwill and a few baskets from the Dollar Tree. By the way, I grew up with two parents that remodeled our homes for most of my childhood. The first home didn't even have an indoor bathroom when we first moved in! My dad had to convert a closet. So, I can relate to your current lifestyle. I was 13 before we had a completed home (and 5 when we started). Hang in there! You're giving your children invaluable lessons in handiwork. Believe me, they'll be thankful for it all when they grow up and have their own homes to take care of. I really enjoy your blog!
