perhaps these would be of use for storage needs. I just love the printed ideas of
people. I love browsing through their offerings. Hope these help, I've done some of
the work for you. Happy storage hunting.

My biggest recycle storage containers are the drink carriers from Chick-Fil-A. I get them all the time when I need to go get me and my boss' lunch. I use them to tote my jar candles or glass shakers for my shows. Use them in your craft room to hold pencils, glue sticks, brushes, etc.

I just love the stackable drawer storage compartments. Theres probably a better way to store things, but I just love them cause they come in a range of tiny to huge and they stack so nicely. You can find them at Target or probably cheaper somewhere online.

Were to beigin??

I use the plastic shoe boxes and the next 2 sizes up too!!!

I also use the plastic roll around drawer units, I have one that is 5 feet tall!!!

I use the see through tackle boxes, and the floss boxes too!!

The $ store is a great sourse for strorage units!!

I have purchased long plastic units that where for floppy discs, I took out the dividers and use these for my stickers and papter cut outs for card making and scrap booking. I think I sent some of these to cuppy years ago!!

I use the various sizes of plastic baskets available at the $stores for in my drawer units to keep my cutters, tools and stamps and ink pads organised.

I have found for my beads the round stackers that srew togther as best, they come in 2 sizes, one you will find is sold for pills.

I was at a crayola outlet and they had the sidewalk chaulk contaners which are like a rectangular bucket and lid, and I keep many different items in there, they stack nicely and fit great on shelves. Oh they are also see through!!

The $ Rama stores here carry many different plastic stackers like a tackel box, and I have all that they offer!!

Anything I can see in is labled with the stock.

I'll try and take a few pictures of some of these things so you will know what to look for!!

Hi! Just a quick thought on where to buy organizing supplies. I tend to shop our local thrift stores. Helps out various charities and saves me a fortune. I use a bit of everything to store in. For beads I like to use either floss holders or the flat tackle boxes with lots of dividers. They are basically the same but the tackle boxes are a bit cheaper.

I saw this the other day, have no clue as to pricing, but WOW! It is the most amazing "box" I've ever seen.
