Laminated Cotton Waterproof Wipable Use-Anywhere Wastebasket: Wasties!

When I was a kid, there were three words my mother didn’t let us use in our house: pee (say “tinkle” instead), butt (“fanny”), and trash (“wastebasket”). And, liking to play with words, Mom often called the wastebasket “the wastie basket” as in “Put that dirty old piece of gum into the wastie basket right now!”).

In honor of mom, I’ve named these little collapsible trash containers Wasties! Here’s to you, Mom!

Where do I even start to describe the wonderful perfection of these little goodies!

Wasties are made with waterproof, washable, wipable laminated cotton (some people call it oilcloth) so you don’t need plastic liners for these wasties.

Wasties are also machine-washable in cold water. Hang dry.

Wasties are collapsible so you can slip them into your crafting tote and take them anywhere. They are small enough to set right on your work space to collect all the little bits and pieces of waste as you create.

Wasties have a metal grommet for use with a hang-anywhere clear Command Hook so you can literally use them anywhere: car, craft room, sewing room, Dad’s workshop, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, toy room.

Quickly slip your Wastie off the grommet to empty it and you’re ready to use it again! (I’ve got a hook on the edge of my sewing table for a Wastie to catch threads and snips.)

Buy additional hooks to move your Wastie wherever needed. Take your Wastie with you as you work throughout the house! Or just buy additional Wasties for every room in the house.

Wasties also have a strap with snap to hang from car headrests, chairs, and more.

Wasties have boning around the top to keep them open for easy use.

Wasties are CUTE! Need I say more?

Wasties are reversible so you have two choices of prints with each Wastie!

Wasties have a square bottom so they stand upright for use on tabletops.

Wasties can be folded down for a cute coordinated look.

Wasties make great containers and organizers, too!

Wasties squish flat for storage and taking along in craft, sewing, and knitting bags.
