[Nfb-krafters-korner] colors and material organization

[Lillie Pennington]

Hi Ashley,

There are many ways to do this, and it all boils down to personal preference. For things like yarn, you could put them in plastic bags and put Braille labels or color tags on the bag or inside the bag on an index card. For jewelry, it gets kind of complicated because there are just so many things. You could put those in plastic bags as well with labels, or you could do small containers. I recently purchased a little storage box that has 30 small drawers. On the drawers there is space for a Braille label. I think I will categorize the drawers themselves by color, and then classify once inside the drawers. 
As I said though, there is no set in stone way to do this, and others will probably have good suggestions as well.

Hi all,

Crafts involve lots of material, particularly  jewelry; all those pieces.
How do you organize your colors and know what goes with what?
I have some vision, but seeing shades of something is hard, like blue has several shades or a dark blue may look brown or purple to me.

So how do you organize items? Do you use bags and boxes with labels? I can read braille, btw.

I’m guessing that separating material with sighted help would be the best idea.

Thanks.
Ashley
