Scrap Storage....
 

I've only been quilting since 2009 but boy am I accumulating scraps! They were stuffed here and there in boxes and bins. I'd remember ahving something that would be perfect but finding it would be impossible. So this is what I came up with. My requirements were
It must be cheap!
It must fit in my space
and it must be cheap!
It must serve double duty

here's what ds and I came up with! I still need to paint it one day but so far it is working good. I can easily throw a scrap in it's color box and keep things a little neater. Plu it's fun to pull out the boxes and look!
I used scrap wood from a project of dh's and I bought the boxes.....less than 10 bucks in the whole thing! Plus paint when I decide on a color.

That is awesome! Your "architect/engineer" is pretty handsome too! I bet you'll be making lots of scrappy quilts now!

that is a great idea.where to get those boxes? i see many more things in the making..

Neat, I really like your idea!

Awesome, great job!!!!

That is one GREAT solution!!! Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful solution which meets all of your goals. Thank you for sharing your idea and inspiring others.

Great idea! Your son did a wonderful job.

I like it! are you going to sew patchwork covers for the boxes?!

That is a great idea, just might do that myself.

They look like archive boxes from office suppliers

How clever and handy you are. I like this idea. Thank you for sharing.

Great idea! Scraps seem to multiply in storage, don't they?

I like the look of this but I would put tops on the boxes to keep out the dust, etc. Love the pegboard idea as well.

You are my kind of friend. Use what you have to make another use for it.Love the boxes. I would put a color scrap on the front for easier looking.. Rescrue. Recycle. Reuse. Thats what Lara says on Flea Market Flip. Hugs

wonderful idea!

Very impressive! Well done, both of you.

best,

Wonderful! I think I would color code the boxes so the yellow box would be yellow scrapes etc.

That is great...You are talented....Good job....

Great idea. I love it.

What a great idea, would never had thought of that, and what a handsome helper you have.

I use the same boxes, also. You can purchase those at the different office supply stores and just about any where they sell office supplies. Walmart also has them.

Great idea, nice looking helper too. We buy those boxes at Office Depot, to hold files we have to keep.

So clever! love the idea

I love your storage boxes solution to your scraps!! Clever:thumbup:

How great is that to have a carpender/designer in the house.

What a great bare-footed carpenter! Oh yeah, your boxes are cool too! LOL It will be fun to look through a box of colors.

Great idea.cheap and works great.

That is a wonderful and very inexpensive idea! Looks like you don't need a whole lot of woodworking experience to put it together, which is great!
