The closest I could find was just 1/2" too wide

[QUOTE=Mimmis57;7228472]I need some help. I have shelves at the end of my tub and I'm looking for storage containers for the inside. The problem I'm having is the size. The size is 6" wide, 6"high and 14"deep. I love the baskets at JoAnns but they don't come in the right size. I have ice cube bins in there now but oh so tacky! I've looked on line for instructions to make them but can't find what I'm looking for. I don't want fabric boxes because that isn't sturdy enough. I've looked at JoAnns, Hobby Lobby, AC Moore, Walmart and online. Any ideas? Thanks all.[/QUOTE

The Goodwill near me as an assortment of new plastic containers, that might help you....

Could you cover cardboard boxes with fabric? They would be sturdier than the fabric ones and could match your decor.

I was at a rest. Supply store and they might have what you need.

These medium open stacking bins might work for you (6" square by 5" high):

They sell pretty good plastic spraypaint these days. If your ice cube bins are working except they just look out of place, maybe you can make some stencils and do some creative painting on your ice cube bins to jazz them up? Add some decals, maybe, if you find something that goes with your bathroom decor?

I use the wire desk accessories from Staples. The pictured one is 6"w 13" long and 3" deep. It might work for you. I also use the letter holder accessory for holding smaller templates on my cutting table, and the magazine holder as a holder for some special fabric selection, such a coffee theme or maritime. They will stack and are very sturdy. Showing is how I store some of my...vast....fat quarter collections.
