I needed a place to store them so I could easily find them and they would be all together in one place.I got to thinking about what I could use and then it came to me. I had an empty bead box with lots of compartments in it! Everything I have fit nice and neat into it and now when I need to use an eyelet or a brad, or some other small item, it is nice and neat and all in one place. I can easily transport it from point A to point B when I am going to my friend's house or to a scrapbook store crop.On www.gather.com, some of the other people there said they used old fishing tackle boxes, tool boxes, even spice jars for their small items.
