I love being organized, its the key to working smart. These bulky little baskets look like they are very durable and sturdy. I like the option of using one as an Easter basket as shown in the pictures. A neat way to keep your office desk organized also. Great pattern.

These baskets look strong and sturdy. I love that there is just a touch of color so that you can create your own color palette and style that can be added to any room decor. I wonder if you could use rope or bungee cord to make them. The bungee cord would allow for a little give when filling up the basket and the rope would give more rigidity and support if you wanted to put something heavier than yarn, paper, or clothing in it.

I love the small pop of color in these! Seems like they would be the perfect craft room addition for storage.
