I hit the web looking for inspiration and stumbled upon Cat's Creations. She had a genius idea using something I already had and wasn't using. Gotta love that. She included a lovely tutorial that you can check out at her site. My organizer (which was laying around in pieces) and some zip ties was all it took. The good news is if you lost half of ...
