ChristusG Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've got my nice little bins for crayons, letter tiles, math manipulatives, beads, glue, pencils, etc. I've got them all nice and labeled. :D But then...I have all of those random craft type things. You know, there's not enough of them to devote their own bin to....but I have to do something with them. Feathers, styrofoam balls, pieces of felt, pipe cleaners, wooden sticks, etc. I'm wondering if I should even bother organizing them? Maybe just lump them all together? But then the "clutter hater" side of me may freak out. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I just did this today. I had all separate containers for things, with one "odds & ends" box. However I am downsizing. So I condensed. One shoe-size box has pipe cleaners, glue gun, fun scissors, and feathers. Another box has buttons, pony beads, googly eyes, and sticky gems. I have one box of stickers, and one box of foam shapes. Hmm... but now I'm wondering what happened to the craft sticks... the kids must have used them all. As long as I know what is in the box (labeled), and they are separated, I'm OK.

Sophia Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I would separate by putting them in ziploc baggies, but then put them in the same container. Then they would still be neat, but together, as opposed to being one big mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Mathy Mom Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 My oldest uses an old fishing tackle box for her small craft items. We got it at the Habitat Store for $5. It has two tiers of divided space and a larger area underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyrjoy Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Here ya go: the random craft material drawer (read I don't know how to organize those either so I lump it all together. Lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amey311 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Those things are a group to me. They're "Collage materials." If you want to be REALLY organized, you could put a list on the outside of the bin. I have my craft supplies in those shoebox sized Sterlite bins with lids and they have labels on the outside (I do love my label maker).

momtotkbb Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I put mine in baggies and place in one clear container that I know is misc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
