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.

Now you've got me inspired to make boxes and add rope to them…I love boxes!!! Gosh, I've got wood tucked away, I think I can, I think I can…make boxes. Visit Mel's Cabin for a sip of coffee when you're in the neighborhood.
