It’s that school shopping time of year again, so while the school supplies are plentiful, why not pick yourself up a few plastic pencil cases. They’re great for storing quilting and craft supplies as well as taking projects on the go.
Quilting art postcards and all their embellishments fit just right in plastic pencil cases, ready for you to bring along wherever you might go. Why not keep several pencil boxes by the front door, each with a different project and its supplies in it. You can get quite a lot done while waiting here and there, and it sure beats reading old magazines in the waiting room!
You can also keep those wider spools of thread that don’t fit in the regular narrow spool case in plastic pencil boxes.
What’s in your pencil box?
Ohh I always pick up extra supplies for me. I have a habit of cutting scraps from projects into usable charms. The little ones could go into a pencil box. I also buy glue sticks and store them in one. Glue sticks are great for mock ups of potential color combos. Of course, one box holds all my marking pens/pencils and one is for sharpies.
