You could even use it as a gift basket, loading up the center sections and all the pockets with little treasures. Change up the exterior fabric to blend into a kitchen, bedroom, even an office. You could substitute your own handle option or even make your own handles from fabric with firm interfacing.ДЄs mentioned, our sample basket is shown as a bathroom organizer, but donвЂ™t let that narrow its usefulness. We originally used DritzВ® Home Decor Handles in a fun black patent leather option. Those looped handles at either end are not only pretty, theyвЂ™re functional, making it easier to carry the basket from point to point or slide it across a counter. When you need an extra large compartment, simply pull apart the VelcroВ®, remove the divider, and load it up. The divider is also sized so that, when secured through the center, it helps hold in the sides вЂ“ further increasing their stability. It has clever wings with VelcroВ® that attach it to the lining. Like the sides of the basket itself, the divider is stabilized with fusible foam. ThatвЂ™s also the theory behind the removable center divider. ItвЂ™s your choice for what you want your basket to organize.

The liningвЂ™s pockets can be full or divided or even left off entirely. ItвЂ™s a wipe-clean surface and tough enough to withstand frequent loading and unloading. We recommend ripstop nylon for the lining. For more about this technique, you can review our general fussy cutting tutorial as well as our tutorial on matching pockets to panels. We chose a striking seaside motif for our bath basket and took the time вЂ“ and the extra fabric вЂ“ to fussy cut our pieces to perfectly match the exterior pockets against the main panels. Mid-weight or heavyweight home dГ©cor fabric, canvas or denim are the best options for the exterior to help give the basket the proper structure. We also added a line of Dritz Double Cap rivets to strengthen the divisions of the front and back pockets. All the cuts are standard rectangles.ДЇusible foam provides the exterior structure along with an inset base sleeve that contains a plastic canvas stabilizer. Even with all those cool features, there are no patterns required. Our basket design features inner and outer pockets, double carry handles, and a removable center divider. Organizing your stuff and boosting your home dГ©cor style вЂ“ thatвЂ™s a win-win! We created ours for a bathroom environment but the size and shape would work in any room.

Any time is the perfect time for a new fabric storage basket to help you divide and conquer! One of this basketвЂ™s main benefits is looking fabulous as it contains the chaos that can takeover any counter in the house.
