Novice Card Maker - how do you store your 'bits'?

8 replies

Hi, won a fab raffle prize of card making bits & bobs to start me off & have recently bought more but now have an overstuffed cardboard box.

What do you use for storage?
Preferably something smaller than a Mr Maker wall of cupboards

Go to B&Q and get DIY boxes rather than 'Craft Boxes' - about half the cost !!

this is similar to the one i have.
not sure about having lots of small boxes scattered about, want to keep things 'tidy'!

if you're looking for something easier on the eye, i went into john lewis yesterday and they had some pretty craft boxes in there. nothing on their website though other than a few craft bags.
if you were making it a serious hobby and wanted some style - maybe investing in an apothecary chest??

ooh a nice apothecary chest would be lovely
but ds1 would love to get his hands on it and can you imagine screwing in all those drawer locks ?!

think i will stick with tackle box for now and see how it goes, have seen this
may get one if i find i stick with this as a hobby.
