I found the cutest sewing boxes and directions for them. You can change the size so easily. But one thing befuddled me. Where to get the vinyl you sew to the front (with binding strips of fabric around it) on both sides and the bottom so you can put a label in it though the top so it says what's in the box. A window, I guess you would call it.

I looked for an hour online and finally found a place. I emailed them Sunday. This morning at 7:30 am they called me and apologized for not calling sooner. They were off for the holidays. We talked and for 40 cents each, they are sending me 12-3"x4" pieces of double folded viny. She told me to just carefully cut off the small edges and I'd have two pieces of single vinyl for each double piece. Perfect!

I ordered 12 pieces of vinyl at 40 cents each and it came to $4.80 plus $1.95 shipping. It came to $6.75 total. They are in California. The business is called Everyday Vinyl and their website is www.everydayvinyl.com. Check them out! Excellent customer service. I found it easier to just talk to them on the phone and explain my dilemma.

A picture of the box and directions for it are here: http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/09...html#more-4543. I am going to start making them for next year for Christmas presents and birthday presents and just for me. They are so awesome boxes! If anyone has any other sites with cool fabric boxes, please share here!!

Hi Jeanne,
I buy my plastic like this at walmart by the yard. It is a large sheet that I also cover my table with when I have my good linens on the holiday table. They have different weights available too.

I have made clear makeup bags, wallets with windows and luggage tags.


Here is a link to one site with cute baskets to make.

Very cute! I've seen clear plastic like that at Joann's.

WalMart has the clear vinyl in pre cut packages and by the yard. Also the vinyl bags that linens come in are perfect for cutting into small sizes.

Thank You for sharing this project. We just moved into our new home and I need extra storage. Yesterday, I was searching for project ideas, not really wanting to use cardboard...these plastic sheets will work fabulously. Heading to JoAnnes today for sure!

I found storage boxes exactly like this at Walmart. They are beige and fold flat. I love mine and I didn't have to make them. Of course the hand made ones are much cuter. Just call me lazy.
