[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Organizing jewelry-making supplies

[kendrick.deborah at gmail.com]

Hi, 

I got a cart like the one Terry is describing for $40 on sale at Staples. I
wasn't looking for it. I was buying a shredder but was curious about the
"For Sale" aisle, and knew immediately that this roll-around cart would be
useful to me.  

As for the plastic drawer towers, I've had a ton of them. Once, I bought one
via Shipt, a two-drawyer unit for maybe $20, because I needed a place to
stash the toys.  If you use Shipt, just put "drawer" in the search box in
Target and a zillion of them will come up Of use the Free Shopping offers
for Walmart or Target and let AIRA help you.

These plastic drawer units are great for everything from craft supplies to
office supplies to underwear and more!

They come in many colors, have three odlong baskets and metal poles, holding
them together.  They are on wheels.

There are other items you can get, like hooks and hanging baskets, to go on
the side, but Henry and I just have the three baskets, on wheels!

Great for containers of beads.

You can leave it or wheel it around!

Made of metal!

Hope they still have them!

Terry

Terry, what's a cart?  All I can picture is a grocery cart or a wheelbarrow,
and I'm sure that's not what you're talking about.

Carts from Michaels are good and plastic drawers from Walmart or about
anywhere are good!

Some where, long ago, I got a 7 drawer, with different sized drawers. Some
are shallow and some are deep.  It is narrow like the ones sold at Walmart.
Great for different items in each drawer!

I need to clean mine out!

I love my cart for containers of pony beads.

I've acquired a goodly supply of jewelry-making stuff, and I really need to
organize it.  Beading wire and string, clasps, beads, bead tubes . 

How do other people organize these things?  What do you put them in?  

I'll put all the wire-type stuff in something, the clasps in something else,
etc, but in what?

Boxes?  Bags?  Small bins? 

What are people using?

I want it to be easy to find what I want, without pawing through everything.

Winter is for organizing.

Tracy
