T-shirt yarn baskets

After the afghan, I had some t-shirt yarn left and I wasn't sure what to do. I found some patterns for crocheting baskets. They are pretty fast to do. I'm not an expert at crochet, but have had some fun with it and learning more about stiches. In the mean time, I've acquired a ton more t-shirts so I can do a bigger project maybe!

I made this oval basket for my mother-in-law for her birthday!
It was big enough to hold a Wii and accessories and a book! I think it was 6 xl t-shirt's worth of yarn (though the yellow may not have been xl shirts).

Now I'm brainstorming what to do with all of the tops from the shirts. Any ideas?
