Storage for eyelets and brads  

I used to use the old bead boxes, but there got to be too many boxes all over the place. Then I went to this store that was having a retirement sale, and I took it's almost like one of those bead storage boxes, except i has four tiers with four drawers. This thing is great. It's not very portable, but it has tons of little compartments that I put buttons, eyelets, snaps and brads in, I also put some confetti in there too. I also recently bought a tool box kinda thing from a hardware store, where has little drawers about five per level, and each drawer can pull out, so you can transfer from room to room if you like. I love it!

Personally I love my tackle boxes! I keep so many things in them. When I am going to a crop I transfer what I need into small travel sized tackle boxes. I also love those nut and bolt sorters the little drawers work perfect for so many embellishments.

I have to recommend watch maker tins! OMG they are amazing! I love them. They are metal tins with a bunch of small tins inside that have clear covers so you can view what's inside. They look great on your desk too and you can alter them if you wanted. I still have a few plastic trays that I got from the dollarstore but these are so much nicer and you can take them individually or the whole case will fit in your bag. Here's a photo that i've found of them. You can find them at jewerly stores I think. I paid about $12 for my med size one. http://www.dropshots.com/...

I keep mine in small tackle boxes. They come in many different sizes and shapes these days. I use tackle boxes for so many things such as my sewing supplies. I have a large one for that. I am so glad that you got started on mylot. I did not see your invitation to become a friend till today. I hardly ever check them as I get so many each day.

I just used a craft box. It's just like a tackle box, but the boxes are a little smaller. Maybe about an inch, and there about 20 boxes in all. I love it. I keep all kinds of stuff in it. Eyelets, brads, jewels, scrapbook extenders, etc!

I am not a scrapper, but I do use small containers to store my small items in. I keep prescription bottles to store beads, sequins, glitter, etc. They are compact and handy, most of all....free!

I use two items for all of my small items for storage. The first is the drawer units used for nuts and bolts storage. This I use for seasonal small items that I don't use everyday. The second is a system that I am still organizing. I bought a whole bunch of small watchmaker tins on clearance from a store online and a large magnetic write on wipe off board at Walmart. I hung the magnetic board on the wall, put magnets on the back of the watchmaker tins and then started organizing the items I use most often in these tins and then hang them on the magnetic board. They are in easy reach while I scrapbook, and I can see the items so that I use them!

Fishing tackle boxes come in very handy. I've picked up a couple at garage sales to store my little tidbits in.
