These pockets are a small version of the type that hang over a door. They are better suited for a corner of your kitchen, or a small spot by the desk. You could use a magnetic hook and hang it on the refrigerator or in a school locker. Fabric adds a soft homey touch to any space. The whole piece is 6 and 1/2 by 17 inches. Each of the two pockets is 5 by 5 inches. They are double stitched and bar tacked at the top, for strength. The ribbon hanger is big enough to fit over a doorknob, yet another place to hang it! The back is filled with cotton batting, for stability.
