Toiletries mesh bag

[AidanM]

I have some relatives who come into where I live, with my grandmother, and think that anything in the house is theirs to borrow/use/eat/take for an indefinite period of time. With this in mind as I brought home some new, more expensive toiletries, to try to tame my wild mane I decided that not only would I keep these things in the cupboards where they seldom venture, I would place them in a bag that makes it very clear that they are NOT for general usage!

 

It's a basic mesh from somebody's pattern here, I don't recall whose, and then I just sc'd around it on 3 sides and chained for a drawstring.

Clever Idea. I have a daughter who when she comes home form Uni does that! A bit cheeky really. The other annoying category of guests are the fridge explorers!

Cool mesh bag,Aidan!

Cool idea...hope it works for you. My mother would kill me if I ever did something like that. I was taught not to even look in people's cupboards.

What a clever idea and the bag turned out great!

Good idea Aidan. Looks great too. I can think of some other uses this would be good for also. Keep up the good work.

Very nice!

 

I'm surprised that your guest would take your toiletries. Perhaps it would be a good idea to remove your own stuff from the restroom and put a basket of sample sized products for their use. Then you aren't out so much when they help themselves.

 

I don't mind for my guest to help themselves to my kitchen. If fact, I like for them to be comfortable enough to do so. But I was offended by a guest who didn't like what I had prepared for breakfast to ventured out to my pantry and helped herself to an unopened box of Pop Tarts.
