I have few boxes and baskets that I used for various things, mostly gathering fabrics together for various reasons that I often quickly forget. I hadn&#8217;t really used project boxes before. After I brought the boxes home, I actually did put projects in them almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>While this is a teetering stack, it actually works a lot better than the stack of fabrics I was using before. First, all the stuff for a project is all together. I can even put smaller trays of cut pieces inside the larger boxes. Second, they are much easier to move. I pick up one or two, put them aside and then the step stool is usable again. Finally, I don&#8217;t have to hunt around for materials. All the materials are in one place (3 might be the same as 1, but they are different in my mind).<\/p>\n<p>After I got the larger boxes organized, I cleaned out the smaller boxes and re-purposed them to organizing projects as well. The small box with the handle has all of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/crafty-gemini-organizer-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crafty Gemini Organizer Club<\/a> supplies in it except for that fusible foam stuff, which doesn&#8217;t fit. It would fit in one of the larger bins, but all I had was the smaller one. Needs must.<\/p>\n<p>Two bins have fabrics and such for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/stepping-stones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stepping Stones n.2<\/a>. That is a lot of organizer bin real estate devoted to one project, but scrappy projects will do that to you. I hope to finish that project soon (though I haven&#8217;t worked on it recently, so not sure how it will happen.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, I am pretty pleased with this solution. I need to sew more to get through projects, but that is a completely different issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had bought some project boxes.
