In my opinion you can never have enough holders. Holders for things, things, and more things. Holders for books, credit cards, coffee mugs, lip balm, sewing needles, notebooks, steno pads, candles, tissues, napkins, baby teeth, cell phones, keys, calendars, flowers, art supplies, vegetables, tools, plastic bags, money, eyeglasses, iPods, gift cards, candy, cards, ornaments, and so much more. The problem is in deciding to which holder to make first.

Well, in thinking about holders I thought about all the wonderful free articles, e-patterns, tutorials, graphics, stitcheries, craft projects and more from The Best Free Craft Articles blog contributors that we have. Here they all are:

So, which holder are you going to make?

I have bags and bags of scrap ribbon lying around - waiting to be used. I'm not exactly sure why but I'm saving it for when I need it. Well, to my delight Ashley Hacksaw of Lil Blue Boo had a couple ideas on her Lil Blue Boo blog for making a scrap ribbon wallet/clutch and making a scrap ribbon belt. Have fun with all your scraps.

Scrap Ribbon Wallet/Clutch Tutorial

Here's what Ashley had to say about her tutorial: These are the little wallet/clutches I made for the SYTYC Contest for the theme "Green." I was going to wait until after Thanksgiving to post the tutorial, but I had so many requests that I thought I'd do it early. Maybe you want to stay in on Black Friday and make some handmade presents for Christmas instead of shopping!

Scrap Ribbon Belt - Tutorial

Here's what Ashley had to say about her tutorial: I have so many ribbon scraps that are under 2" and I've contemplated throwing them out many times. This is what I came up with to use them all up....a ribbon belt. But you could use this technique for tons of other things....a headband, a purse strap, a drink coaster.....I had to narrow it down eventually!

Update: Project time is about 2 hours. Sewing the belt in small increments actually makes it go faster than you think.....
