I use the plastic scrap making ones from Joann's. They are 5.99 as opposed to higher in the quilt section. Work well. My friend came to the last retreat with hers in those keyboard boxes. So cool. I am going to try to get some pizza boxes this week. They know me in there so it might help. Small town, ya know.

I used to use the pizza boxes for my students' projects. You can buy them in bulk at GFS. I don't remember how many come in a package, but I do know that they come in different sizes. ;)

If you use cardboard boxes, remember that they are not good for long-term storage. The acid in wood products such as cardboard will damage fabrics over time. While the intent may be short-term storage, I have enough UFOs in my stash to know that some projects can get sidelined for years at a time....
