What do you keep your lo's little bits and pieces in to stop them getting jumbled together

Perhaps this should go into the amateur craft section because you all sound so professional with your crafty ways......and I'm just a novice

I buy the lo's packs of stick on 'jewels', pom poms, beady eyes etc for creating their works of art, but these come in little cellophane bags (mostly purchased from the ELC) and when these get ripped open I have nothing to put them back in to in order to keep them separate. So they just get jumbled together.

This is rather anal of me I do realise (but then I am rather anal)- but what do your stow your bits in. I need small individual containers that will fit into a drawer (have a sort of plastic stacking 4 drawer thingy that their arts and crafts stuff goes into)

I use these lidded boxes from Ikea.
For really tiny things you could use the little pots that camera films come in.

ditto cupcakes (except the purple and pink ones) then stack them in a big wooden box (also from IKEA)

Little plastic boxes, in one big (old ) cardboard nappy box.. If you have a dedicated drawer I'd be tempted to get some of the drawer dividers Ikea does now.

I use ezy locking craft mates containers , they have seperate lids which "lock"

I also use some freebie cases i got from a couple of mags.

I use the plastic boxes you can get from takeaways- washed out of course. I think you can also buy them 'new' from lakeland and wilcos. Much cheaper and you don't mind if they get wrecked so much. The lids make good glue pots too.

Little sectioned toolkit boxes from B&Q are much cheaper than buying 'Craft Storage Boxes'

Also film cannisters are good for sequins!

no probs HMC, just make sure you close the lids properly!! I keep leaving one open
