Definitely ditch the tubs! I'm sure you love your s&p shakers but fabric is pretty to look at too. I also was frustrated with the tubs. I bought (2) 5-shelf bookcases from walmart $25 each. Then measured each piece of fabric and wrapped it around a 6"Wide ruler. It took a long time but ssssooooo worth it! IMHO lol. Good luck :P :-P
