Tool boxes are a crafter’s dream. You can stash all the little bits and pieces in the drawers. Everything will have its place. Using a label gun to identify each drawer will make it that much easier to find exactly what you are looking for. You can go for a little portable tool box or a larger one that can stand up in the corner of your room.

These boxes typically have a single lid that covers the case. The case is divided up into small squares. Again, this is perfect for little beads and those tiny embellishments that are so easily lost. When you open the lid, you can see all of your supplies without opening drawers or digging through boxes.
