    I just thought I'd share this with you.....We bought a new set of flatware for our trailer (7 yrs and FINALLY I have matching flatware!!) This wire "rack" wouldn't fit in the drawer and wouldn't hold all my flatware in the kitchen. So rather than toss it I started thinking....hmmmmm Yeah, it's GREAT for holding the smaller rulers/triangles, etc and the rotary cutter!!!

    I use one too but mine is white vinyl. I love it. It has just the right amount of "pockets" for the basic sewing items you need on your desk. Congrats on your matching silverware. Been there done that. LOL

    Yay on the matching flatware for the camper. I just bought some new for the camper and decided to use it in the house and take the mismatched stuff camping! What was I thinking? Good use for that spiffy wire rack!

    good idea but my 5 year old would get a whole of that and cut herself. Maybe I need a lock on my door!

    What a great idea. That works so well. Great way to recycle something you can't use.
