To organize more than one thing of different or the same sizes is not always so easy. Although it's all in where you go shopping. When we started to go to Aldi's I was impressed with their prices, although what REALLY caught my eyes were the boxes that I could take home for FREE!
These boxes have lids, but the front is out for the shoppers to see and pick what they would like. Like a dream come true, less work for me! Just what I needed to be able to see what is in the box.
I brought them home, cut them to the height I needed if necessary. Got a sheet of Optix (plastic glass), and cut that to fit box front (having paper on floor in case of glue coming out front side), I glued the cardboard from inside using glue called Liquid Nails adhesive. I placed plastic glass inside of box over the glue. Then I put heavy things around the edges of the glued part so it will hold strong and left that dry over night.
Next day I had some really nice storage boxes that I use for holding crochet thread, yarn, my small bottle paints, gladiola's stored over winter, fabric, great for garage and basement things that just need a place to be put into so you can find them when you want them. They come in different sizes, you can decorate them if you want. Drilling through the plastic (at box center) you can put a knob in front to get off the shelf. If the box is colored use white contact paper to label them.
