Made these to match the theme in the nursery and broke 4 needles in the process! They will hold diapers and wipes and what not. Found this awesome tutorial on how to make them. Also, if you want to make your own biased tape to sew onto the box(es) here is a tutorial for that as well.

Felt Polka Dot Curtains
Made these to coordinate with the nursery theme. I have The Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric that has tons of colorful polka dots all over it, so I used that as my inspiration for these curtains. I had left over curtains from an Ikea trip my family made years ago, so I used those as the base and just sewed circles on them that I cut out of felt. I made sure the colors I used matched the polka dot fabric. Also, I used clear thread to sew the circles on as a way of saving time. That way I didn't have to change the thread for every color. Yup, that easy. I LOVE them.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Pillows
Super easy. Just cut a panel into pieces so that I could have the pictures centered, then pinned them (front sides facing) to whatever color I wanted to go on the back and cut the excess fabric off. Sewed with a 1/2" seam all around the edges, left a small opening along the bottom to turn them right side out, stuffed them with poly fill, then sewed the openings shut. The backing on the two bigger pillows are strips of coordinating fabric that I sewed together in 3-1/2" strips. The sewn strips were left over from the teething pads I made for the crib so I figured I would use them.
