"C" is for Containers

Container, bin, vessel, box - whatever you want to call it. 

THE TRUG 


I had so many random scrap wood pieces from the pallet projects that I wanted to use up so I created this:


And then I added some jute for a softer handle:


I just wrapped it around and tucked it in with a needle:


Now for some decorating:


But I didn't make just one bin, I had lots and lots of scrap pieces to use so I made this:
THE SQUARE




And this:
THE TRAY



And this:
THE RECTANGLE


These are the scraps I started with:


I made a simple box and drilled holes in the sides for rope handles:


Just pull the rope through and knot it:

As usual I had some magazine inspiration:

But I was thinking about centerpieces, arrangements and getting ready for Thanksgiving:

THE RECTANGLE

THE SQUARE






THE TRAY




Ready to bake?


The possibilities are endless, different sizes, heights, handles,
no handles, should I stencil some with numbers? or letters?

Still my favorite.
THE TRUG
