I have been making these quick & easy 5 minutes holders since I saw this post:

I did switch up the pattern a bit. I had a bag of thrifted silk ties! The material has such interesting retro designs, and it looks great with two contrasting colored ones. Also incorporating the label on the back makes it look neat too. A few ties can go a long way...but if you try making these out of ties, I added iron-on interfacing to each material piece before sewing together to give it strength/firmness. The last few I have used a new-to-me serger...but the sewing machine works great too. I think I will give them to family members this weekend.
I just love the Quilting Board tutorials. Do you have a favorite?
