| Use Blueprint Storage Box For Fabric Rolls
|
|
Most of the fabric I purchase is on bolts that are 54 inches long and difficult to store. I found a cardboard blueprint storage box at Staples and now all my bolts are stored on end. They stay neat, don't fall all over the place and I can easily view the fabrics.

| Use Jewel Cases For Storing Small Craft Items
|
|
A new use for CD jewel cases: I was trying to figure out what to do with all the empty jewel cases I had lying around and I noticed that if you removed the spool it leaves enough room for paper quilled pieces made with 1/8 inch or smaller paper strips.

| End Cap for Crochet Hook
|
 I am moving soon, and taking a lot of craft supplies with me. I wanted all my hooks in this handy clear eyeglass case and this one wouldn't fit. I hacksawed it down to the right size, but didn't want my hook to snag on anything.

| Cereal Boxes to Organize Craft Supplies
|
|
I use cereal boxes to hold craft stuff. I use one for colored paper, one for wax paper, and one for little paint holders (tea light cups, bottle caps, etc). I glue a piece of construction paper to the front, and let the kids color it.

| Craft Project: Storage Box For Pressed Flowers
|
 I found this to be a great place to store and organize all my pressed flowers. When I was doing a project I would just pull the whole drawer out, place it on the table and it's all right at my fingertips. On smaller projects I'd just pull the drawers out partially.

| Store Craft Supplies in Tackle Boxes

I use fishing tackle boxes from Walmart or Kmart to store craft supplies or sewing notions like threads, buttons, needles, beads, etc. I also use one box for kids art supplies like crayons, pencils, markers, erasers, etc.

| Organizing Ideas from Magazines in a Filing Cabinet
|
|
Since I have children, I often get magazines that have lots of ideas ranging from craft ideas to party and food ideas. I had accumulated so many because I wanted to keep the useful ideas that I came across. I was becoming overwhelmed with magazines.

| Save Lunch Baggies for Storage
|
|
I use zip lock bags for my children's lunches but they don't like them after a couple of uses as they look crinkled. I don't throw them out. I found them useful for small pieces of fabric that I have prepared for patchwork.
