How to store LARGE craft supplies

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I am in the middle of getting organized. I dont know if we are staying in the home we rent or not (roommate issues) however I need a solution for a couple things.

How do you store : Knifty Knitters, I think I have all sizes and some are very long. Also I have varied sizes of looms used for x-stitch and embroidery. I would ideally like to keep all of this together but due to size it will not fit in a rubbermaid container or on a shelf. HELP!!

When I have a challenging size to store, I consider turning the items every which way in order to maximize the storage I do have. I don't know what the items you are referencing look like, but perhaps they are thin one direction and can be stored upright between the wall and a bookcase or storage unit?

Embriodery hoops, they come in varied diam. up to about 12 inches...

(yes that is my fav. online store that just sent me the winter book... herrschners..... ugh)

I really need some type of storage container... easy to store, easy to move...

any thoughts?? I may go xpost in crafting?

My embroidery hoops are small and fit in the cabinet with my other sewing notions.

Maybe put most/all of them into a large ziplock bag? I received a bunch of craft items from someone who stored her embroidery hoops this way.

They make awfully large Rubbermaids. I've joked that they will start making Rubbermaid coffins soon. The Christmas tree sized tubs are almost big enough...

I looked at the Knifty Knitters. Have you considered installing a piece of pegboard somewhere? It looks like they would hang well on LONG pegboard hooks. I have some pegboard in my basement, that was here when we moved in. It is really handy & easy to rearrange if needed.
