Let’s try making a small rack that’s handy for keeping a remote control or glasses.

The inner divider will also serve as a handle, so cut one side to about 15 cm and the other three sides to 8 cm.

Make a hole for the handle, tape the long sides together with double-sided tape, and then apply fabric to the sides, bottom, and inside.

Leave about a 1.5 cm seam allowance for the fabric, and trim the corners so they adhere neatly.

If handling fabric is difficult, you can decorate it with origami or chiyogami paper instead.
