      What a great idea!! How much weight will they hold? I am looking for wire baskets to use in my freezer to keep it organized, so they need to be on the larger size and be able to hold heavier weights.

      I think this is such a creative way to use wire mesh! Spray painting it would make it look super cute too. I am thinking of different ways I can use wire mesh because my husband has a lot that he is not going to need. This is a great project I could start working on!

      This is GREAT. Love it. I tried to make 2 myself and they look lovely, but they're crooked and I cannot get them to sit straight. I even put bricks in them for a few days hoping it would flatten them out. Any suggestions?
