Thank you so much for your great idea. I needed a caddy for four remotes and this was perfect. I don't like to sew so I safety pinned the project all around and for remotes, it works just fine. Thank you again.

Thanks for the great idea! I will be making two of these one for each side but the only thing I'm going to add is a piece of velcro (the hard part not the soft) to the part that gets tucked under the mattress so it will grab hold and not slide around.

Cnash962 velcro is a great idea. Please post if you make one. I would like to see it.

Thanks for checking out my 'ible. Glad you like my choice in placemats and post a picture of your bedside caddy if you make one.

@Snickerdoodles I bought my placemats on sale too and it is a very inexpensive solution to bedside clutter.

Wow. I love you. They sell placemats at the dollar store so this is a super cheap solution. Thanks!

I love this idea, I like to keep a lot of things on hand near the bed.

I've been meaning to make something like this for years! Placemats are a great idea.
