I think you can use them to hold small toys for kids. My daughters loved the little toys from McDonald's. It would be a nice place to keep them. The other thing you could do is hang them on the back of a front seat in the car. I have these wonderful little hangers I got from QVC (High Road Car Hook Seat Hangers) and they would work for other things in the car you want to be able to grab quickly and not keep in a purse.

All are very pretty. No ideas on what to use them for.

Very, very cute! I like the idea of using them in a baby's room to store the diapers ... The clean ones, of course!!:)

I would leave maybe a 3" opening in the middle of the bottom seam; that way you could pull out the plastic shopping bags from the bottom. Stuff them in the top after the grocery store, pull one out of the bottom to take lunch to work with you. =)

LOL, you could hide candy in there in the laundry room!

These are so cute. I use an old Clorox bottle. Cut a small piece out of the handle to go over the clothes line. Cut a large hole out of the opposite side to put the clothes pins in. My ol’e Clorox pin holder is about to fall apart. Have had it for years and years.

I am the only one in my neighborhood that still has a clothes line. Sometimes my neighbor will ask if she can borrow it. Hahaha. When everyone was removing their clothes lines and trash burners (outlawed individual households burning trash in their back yards) , I told my husband. “No Way are you removing my clothes line!!!” I use it all the time!!!!

In Colorado you can hang your clothes out, (during the winter) let it freeze, leave it in the sun all day, then bring it in and let it sit for a short time, then fold it and put it away. Love living here!!

These are adorable! They'd be cute in a nursery even if not used to hold anything, just as art!

Yours are adorable!
