[Nfb-krafters-korner] containers for beading projects

[River Woman]

Yes, I keep each bead project in it's own container so I can just pick it up 
and work on it at any time, or take it with me in a jiffy.

I bought containers at Dollar General that were probably meant to hold 
cupcakes or cookies. They are plastic, have a snap down top on them so that 
they will never spill or dump out. Also, they stack very well, so I can put 
several projects onto my shelf and take up very little space. The containers 
are 10 x 13 inches, and 3 inches deep. They are made to stack, and fit 
niecely together.

I put the entire project in the box, with all the tubes, bags of beads, and 
anything else needed for that project. That way, nothing gets lost or 
misplaced and I never have to hunt down anything when I am ready to work on 
that project.  I do this with all my knitting projects as well - each is 
stored in a separate container and the size of the container is chosen to 
fit the project items. So easy.
