In Reply to: craft supplies storage help, please! posted by paulaj on July 31, 2001 at 11:45:04:
Aloha Paula.... <<< I have always been a crafter, but NOW I'm doing several different crafts, with their own different supplies and tools, such as sewing, painting/collage, rubber stamping, and scrapbooking.
##Paula...the first thing you HAVE to come to grips with...is ...are you REALLY doing ALL the crafts still -- or have you moved on to new interests??? The reality is that, most people develop new interests over their lifetime. What was interesting at one point is no longer a hot item....it's kinda like kids outgrowing toys. So what do we do with those? We give them to people who CAN use them instead of "storing it all because it is still good & cost me a pretty penny!"
<<There is a product found in most of your major chain store offices ...it is called "Iris". It's a "pullout" bin...stay AWAY from the ones w/tops ...it will be to inconvenient to open them -- you really want a pulllout drawer on this type of hobby/craft area. The Iris system is purchased in separate units...you need to think vertically & not horizontally -- to maximize the space you do have :)I would HIGHLY suggest you get yourself a labeling system as well ...either Dymo or P-touch are great! Make sure you label the contents of EACH drawer so that you can find what you need -- when you want it!
