WFMW – Organising your craft supplies
Monday, October 22nd, 2007Now that I’m making these beaded bookmarks all the time, I needed to have a cheap solution that took up very little space and kept things organised.
I took a box and used 2 ice-cube trays from a set of 3, and used the partitions to keep all the beads and my other bits and pieces separate. The box is quite deep so I can easily put another layer or two of trays on top of a piece of project board as I get more and more beads (although I am not keen on just buying and buying).
BTW, if you look on the left of the box, you’ll see the gorgeous purple ones that I (almost) don’t want to sell. I am crazy!
For the moment, this really works for me. I can see at a glance when I’m running low and I can see which I need to make more of
I actually need to declutter as well (don’t laugh) because I bought some big bags of assorted beads and I can see I’m not really into some of them so will donate to my friend’s daughter.
