Buttons and eyelets
Just thought i would let you all know how i store my buttons and eyelets.
I have them all sorted by style/size in little round containers that i got from Cheap as Chips, that screw together to sit 5 sections high. I then have all of these standing on display in an old spice rack!!
Another great way to recycle!!

Great idea, Vicki. I recycled and jazzed up a spice rack for my paints & stickles & on top I have 6 small jars of different coloured flowers

Re: Buttons and eyelets
I've got the stacking containers the same as you Vick, but they just sit on my scrap table. The spice rack idea is GOLD! I think I might have to check out the op shop to see if I can find one to recycle! I only store brads in those containers though. My buttons are all in a big flat divided container, sorted by colour.
Re: Buttons and eyelets
LOL, my brads are stored in the flat divided containers, as are my charms and cotton threads!!
Re: Buttons and eyelets
My buttons are in zip bags still in the tin my Grandma gave them to me in
Brads are in tackle boxes
LOVE the spice rack idea

Re: Buttons and eyelets
Well... i am always on the lookout for better storage solutions, and i found these little draws at Cheap as Chips the other day. They were $20 each, but hold SO much, and have really cleaned up my desk!!
This one holds my brads, charms and eyeltets, all in the space that i had my eyelets in their little jars before:
And this one holds all my buttons, which my DD happily sat down and sorted all into colours for me!! I'm not sure yet what i will put in the bottom draws, but i'm sure i will find something!!

Re: Buttons and eyelets
Those drawers are awesome Vick! They look like they hold sooooo much! And good girl for keeping up with your resolution to be more organised!!!
Re: Buttons and eyelets
Vicki,I have similar storage for my brads & charms, but I got mine from Bunnings
Re: Buttons and eyelets
I agree with Sue - these are awesome, all at your fingertips!

Re: Buttons and eyelets
wow love your storage system vicki..........when I first started out I just kept them in their original packets then I got thos flat plastic containers with the dividers from crazy clarks/BigW. They're now all sorted in colours etc.
I also like the idea of using the spice rack - I'd never have thought of that.
I use the various sizes of moccona coffee jars for ribbons/fibres/flowers

Re: Buttons and eyelets
I've seen those drawers in Cheap as Chips many a times and have ALWAYS wanted to buy them... don't REALLY need them though. I never had the room when I was scrapping in my bedroom but maybe now I've got another little scrap area maybe I can convince myself...
This is what I do with my brads and eyelets... just little tackle boxes really.
Sorry this is the best pic I've got... I'll take another tomorrow if I remember.
This one has my brads and other misc items like paper clips. The little red things you can see are tiny little round containers that house my teeny tiny brads. Must get better picture! You'll see it much better.
I also have another similar container that's a little smaller that has my eyelets sorted into colour groups. I don't have many and I don't use them much.

Re: Buttons and eyelets
Hey Lani, thats how my brads/eyelets/buttons started out too, but i found i wasn't using them if i had to go looking for them, so i got the drawers!!
Re: Buttons and eyelets
I also have small drawers for my buttons & eyelets Alanna within arm reach near my desk. I don't really use a lot of buttons though, maybe that could be in on of our next challenges
Re: Buttons and eyelets
Definitely a good idea - maybe for June's dare challenge... I don't use buttons nearly as much as I should considering the size of my collection. Gah, there's so much stuff I need to use more of!
Re: Buttons and eyelets
Me to Alanna, I've been trying to use up a lot of my old stash on my cards & LO
Re: Buttons and eyelets
They are the same drawers that i have Leanne!! They are perfect for all the little bits and pieces!!
