[Nfb-krafters-korner] containers for beading projects

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi Joyce,
I use a plastic container made for storing screws and such in a work 
shop. Mine has about thirty drawers. I can take a drawer out and take 
it to my work area.  I label the fronts with the color and size. I 
used braille, but with the pen friend it would be easy to add all the 
info you want.

My hand fits into the drawers, plastic rectangle shaped boxes, easily 
and so do most of the tubes and plastic bags.
