Hubby's nightstand trash can

[kariholtz]

I finally made something that wasn't for a gift or a secret pal or RAOK that I could actually show pictures of!
Here's the little trash can I made hubby for his nightstand (which is actually a rubbermaid tub due to lack of space in our room) It's made out of rug yarn and done in HDC's, He likes it so I am pleased.

[sjkmaurice]

I really like that! How did you get it to stand up?

what a cute idea! I never would have thought of that either!

[kariholtz]

Thanks again everyone.

I used a rug yarn (Rug Crafters Rug Yarn from a lot I got from ebay awhile ago) It's pretty stiff feeling and just kinda stands up on it's own, thats why I used it.

:cheer Great idea Well done!

[ellebee]

What a neat idea!:clap

[Rosesandtea]

Great idea! Looks good!

[CraftyChristine]

Very cool! My hubbie is always leaving papers and junk on his side of the bed and something like this would be perfect! Think I'll start one as soon as I'm finished with wee woolies Jack the cat!

[Dalia]

WOw! Very cool!!!

[PJ]

What a great idea! Looks great!

[tezen]

what a great idea.. Is it stiff enough to be free standing? Or did you have to do something to make it stand up?

[Julie]

That's a great idea! :bounce

[mistiaggie]

Cool idea! Hmmm, now I'm thinking about stuff like that!

[kariholtz]

It's actually stiff enough to be freestanding, but I was prepared to startch the daylights out of it if it hadn't been hehe

[cinfulkarmah]

Neat idea! I knowe my hubby could defnitely use one of these. And the best part? WASHABLE! Heehee.

[Kathleen]

Great idea!!

[MarvieN]

Very nice Kari! I wouldn't have thought of it, but it's a great idea! I could use one of those beside my desk rofl!

That's a great idea! Better than the freestanding (or falling) paper bag I usually end up using when stuck in bed! :sick Did you just wing it or was there a pattern you used?

[crosette]

That's a really cool idea....I have to go all the way to the kitchen :P to throw anything out...Nice! :)

[ZingyZoid]

I super like that and it's a really good idea.

[kariholtz]

Thanks everyone, you're all great for the ego :D

I didn't use a pattern just winged it, but I'll write up a pattern here as soon as I get time.

[Tiffany]

What a great idea Kari!! :) It looks great! :clap

[Marine_Wife]

Awesome idea.

[lilhatshack]

Its so cute - clever idea!!!

[Donna]

Cool! :clap I love to make baskets and things like that! :heart

[lilhatshack]

Okay - i'm posting again...I keep going back and looking at this. I just love it Kari...i'm thinking I could make a few of these just a little larger for all my yarn balls. I need something that matches the decor in my living room - since they are all over the place in there. Can't wait to see the pattern. LOVE THIS!:cheer :cheer
