Joanns carries a similar container but it has a handle for easy transport, I didn't know that michaels had these and sometimes as cheap as $4-5 wow what a great deal! I can always use the none handle ones for storage and when ready to take a project on the go use one with a handle. Thanks for sharing I will be looking for these.

Pizza boxes work real well too. I will admit these look prettier, but the price is right on the pizza boxes.
lol -- free is GOOD anytime! :lol: :lol:

The container looks great, but I also love your tablecloth! Very pretty!

This is the unit that I have - actually I have two stacked on top of each other. They are the same boxes but a little cheaper per piece and the rack is great. If you watch, they put them on sale for $35-40 about every 10-12 weeks. You can order them on-line or buy them in the store. You can check on-line to see which stores have them in store. And if you call them, they wll hold them for you until the end of business that day.

$4 - $5 ????? Lucky you! I think the cheapest I got one was $10.00. The regular price is about $14.00.

I put a string of clear mini Christmas Lights in these type of containers. It becomes an instant light box for tracing applique designs. ;)

I have about 10 of these. I use them to keep projects separate as I collect fabrics for the project. I also keep the pattern there too so I know what the fabrics are to be used for, also any matchng thread, buttons, etc that go with the project. They are great for keeping projects organized

I have gotten them at Joann's also but wait until I have a coupon to buy them
