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

I was just thinking the ones with the handles at JoAnns are about $15 or so...I'm pretty sure. I've never seen them for $4-5.00, but I'm gonna check Micheals! This is a good idea, and they'd fit perfectly on my shelves in the closet. I've been looking for something to hold my projects in process, and have been leaning toward baskets...but this looks better.

Thanks for the idea!

I love these boxes. I use them to store my scraps. Each color is labeled and the boxes stack nicely in my space.
When I want a certain color I know which box to go to. Works great for me.

I bought a couple colored ones at Joannes with a 50% off coupon.. Was still $9 but they work well to keep projects together and yet separated enough for when you come back to work on them.. I have a handle on mine.. perfect for taking projects to class..

those are great.
I hate when I get in the shop & can't find all of my fabric or the pattern or something. This would solve that problem.

I use these too. I get mine at Hobby Lobby. Sometimes they're on sale for half price, but other times I use the 40% off coupon. I have a big stack of them with all kinds of projects inside. They're perfect for storing blocks.

As a scrapbooker and quilter, I am addicted to these. They work great and since I don't have a hobby room, I can stack them nicely in a closet and everything is easy to find and organized.

I just purchased a bunch of them too, hoping it's helps me to be more organized. They were 40 % off, & I had a gift card from my best friend.

I got a purple one with the handle today at Joann's for $7.99 plus I had a 20% off total purchase coupon so I got it for $6.40. NOt bad! I love them for storing works in progress.
