I love having a whole slew of these little felted pods on hand. They are great for displaying little plants but also come in handy as catch-alls for any number of things. Lined up on or hanging from a shelf, they provide a lovely disguise for paper clips, hair pins, knitting notions, or jewelry. Addicting to make and fun to gift, enjoy!
