containers

bead central
basket for overflow beads
someone recently asked about what containers we would recommend using for organizing your stash.

I use a variety of thing to put my stuff in.


clear straws for beads
for me beads are important,

 I like to put them in the most stable containers that I can still see through.

 I like the clear screw tops in several sizes the best,
these boxes are ok and cheaper than the others.
basket of thinga i use a lot

many baskets

 clear straws can be used for small amounts of beads, just use a pair of needle nose pliers and a lighter to close the bottoms


box o'rama

 I have boxes to hold a variety of things from projects in process


 some I have had for a looong time
tin of flowers

I also have a weakness for tins




  I find many of my big boxes at Ross for about 1/2 what they cost in joannes or micheals
box of krenik and empties


SRE box



lace and ribbon boxes


SRE project tin


boxes of balls of twist
drawers for tools




more currant project boxes

frames and the scrap basket

 It all depends on how you work best

I like oraganization

with a little chaos while i work

















got a new desk to work at too

with more shelf space  it helps keep me from spreading out all over the house

  1. Yup, I used to love tins, but now I only like containers I can see into. I like to keep projects in the 12x 12 plastic boxes you can find in the scrapbook dept at Michaels. They have them on sale all the time for 3.50. They are perfect for me for current project and a box to collect items for a future project. Terry always says that I never saw a plastic box that I couldn't find use for.

  2. Great to see how another crafter stores items.

    I was sent here by a dear online friend who is also a quilter, Maggie.

    I'm not a quilter, but an embroiderer/beader.

    Happy quilting ~ FlowerLady
