Bed, bath and beyond



Every time I visit IKEA, Strauss or any other of those home decoration stores I encounter crocheted or knit storage containers for bath- or bedrooms. One-way nets serve the purpose as well. 

Use the stiff plastic sheet material you get from some potato nets and they will remain upright. This material is good for stitching or patching patterns onto the basket as well. I line them all with colorful fabric left-overs. In these two baskets, right and left, the net is on the outside and used as decoration.

 











In this basket, an intact potato net was double-layered for stability and decorated with fabric on the outside.  The advantage of the more flimsy nets is that they can be put away more easily after use.
