I was flipping through a Real Simple Magazine, again. I was inspired by this door organizer from the Container Store that sells for $12.You must understand that I am a craft supply hoarder. From my many trips to local thrift shops, I've collected quite a nice collection of fabrics, yarns and assorted odds and ends. (See: Alli's guide to thrifting). I dug through my toy chest full of supplies (the chest itself also a thrift shop find!).
Some felt, leftover cardboard and some embroidery thread did the job. I also found a nice tapestry needle so I could hand stitch my project easily. I didn't make a pattern, but this one is simple enough to wing it.
This version certainly looks a bit more folksy than the $12 version, but this one was probably a total of.... $.60! If I made a few more of these, I could sell them for $2 and still make a nice little profit.
