Cubby drawers are now easier to organize with paperboard boxes and small skeins of yarn.

Meanwhile, the battle of the cubbies starts,...IKEA versus BHG.

The IKEA cubby 'dupe', Better Homes & Gardens Cube Organizer, looks identical at a glance. Nevertheless, BHG has cubby holes that are slightly smaller. This is why I did not realize that my established configuration of 4x2 would not fit the same way. This is how I had to adjust the configuration of my toaster pastries boxes, i.e. Paperboard. On one side is a stack of 4. Next to that, instead of an identical stack of 4, I could only fit 2x2 columns.

In the photo it shows how the boxes fit in a drawer with ease.

As far as structural changes,  gluing 2 boxes together gives more stability. But without glue they are easier to reconfigure. .

• Do you like shopping at dollar stores for craft storage items? 
• Do you like to start yarn projects like I do? 

What about the unfinished projects? 

• Do the projects seem to disappear because you hid them from yourself? 

If you have used bags for storage then perhaps those projects disappear for a long time. Like when I just want to try a pattern out but not commit to finishing it right away, I tuck it away into Never Neverland. 

Then, I started using a few square clear containers that I bought from a dollar store. Meant for use as food containers, you can also use them for storing craft things and projects. They helped keep those smaller recent projects visible, tidy, and contained. If you can fit the lid on then they're stackable. 

I still have many unfinished items stuffed in drawers.  This reminds me to mention another alternative solution, closet organizer shelves. You know the hanging fabric shelves, right? The shoe type and clothing type are all filling up my closets and dedicated to holding unfinished projects.  

As part of my journey of learning I can't seem to stop trying something new as it keeps the other creative juices flowing and it shoots away boredom.

 

They fit! I can't get over how this box of 12-count Great Value brand of Toaster Pastries  fits in my IKEA cubby. If you sit two boxes next to one another it fills the space nicely. If you cut the top flaps off and lay the box down on its widest side it becomes a shelf. Then, stack away into a cute recycle shelf for those small hand-wound cakes of yarn. It's so fun to store yarn in the front half the usual way and now in the back half of just one cubby shelf.  I get to eat toaster pastries and recycle at the same time! Maybe next I can glue multiples together and decorate them. I need to also check to see if it fits in the Better Homes & Garden brand cubby just as well!
