My personal manifesto:
When I need something, I think first, can I make it instead of just going out and buying it?
Here is an example.
I have been acquiring quite a few rings lately and they are not stored in an organized way. My first thought is- go out and buy a ring storage box. But then I stop myself and say, "can I make it?" and yes I can!
I look around all my saved treasures, the things I fall in love with and keep with the thought, "I can use that for something." Well that day has come baby!
I have tons of cigar boxes, both cardboard and wood. I can't help myself I am nuts for boxes.
And I have tons of wool felted sweaters, but you already know that!
So here is what I did:

I have a pretty old cigar box, and have been looking for a good thing to do with it. I'm going to make one as soon as I can get down to a salvation army and find a good sweater!

Ah, fabulous! I work in a consignment store and the jewelry area is always disorganized. I might have to make up one of these for the shop. Would be great to use at a craft booth as well.

Thanks for this post! My friend and I made one of these to display the rings we made and were selling at a craft fair. It's worked great b/c it serves as a great display but also as storage too!
