[Nfb-krafters-korner] Seed Bead and Yarn Storage

[River Woman]

I store my seed beeds by color, in the drawers that are in a stack of three. 
I bought these drawer stacks at Dollar General for about $7. for a stack of 
three.
Each drawer hold a color "family." Blues, Greens, Reds, etc.
I use these drawers for storage of everything in my beading studio. 
Everything is kept together and easy to find what I need.
For my yarn storage, I have an entire wall with shelves going from floor to 
ceiling. Then, on the shelves, are the same kind of drawer units but these 
one are bigger. Again, all yarns are put into the drawers by type of yarn. I 
have them labeled on the front, such as:  Mohair, Sock Yarn, Fun Fur, 
Worsted Wools, etc.

I even have a little baby stack of three drawers that has a handle on top of 
the unit. I carry this to festivals. Inside this stack of three is a drawer 
for my price tags, a drawer for plastic bags of all sizes, and the bottom 
drawer had two pullout units that are divided into three sections each. I 
got this at Lowes I think. My daughter and I found them, and we bought one 
for each of my daughters and grand daughters who do crafting. Everyone loves 
them and they are so convenient for keeping all my sales items together for 
a festival. You could even use the unit that is divided for a cash box very 
easily.  Lynda
