My problem is that my scrap stash changes size and then my current solution won't work. Sigh.<br /><br />My new endless source of "free" storage boxes is to use Kleenex boxes after we empty them out during allergy season! I cut and then glue down the top with the slot in it to make nicely sized open top containers. Might be time to make that my string storage method, rather than buying more of the clear boxes!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306854459459257368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-80909548519610461952016-10-07T10:45:32.698-05:002016-10-07T10:45:32.698-05:00Thanks Sarah -- I do have the 12x12 drawers for my...Thanks Sarah -- I do have the 12x12 drawers for my string storage from when I used them as a scrapbooker, the problem i have with the m is they are sometimes a bit shallow (or maybe I have to many string scraps.

How many have you incorporated in your clean up? (Ok, I admit I just looked at the pictures for the most part.) When I divie things by colors I never seem to have those cute bright colors. Maybe that is why I keep buying more and more fabric!

They look pretty like the mason jars and hold a little more. One is just filled with leftover pieces of ribbon. The back of the door hanger is so clever. Use up all the space you can to store fabric, right?
