Getting organized can be difficult sometimes. You look for the right bins to keep things in, or shelves to store things, and sometimes, those “things” that you put in that safe place, so you don’t lose it… disappear! I don’t know how many bins of craft things I have right now. I’ve purchased things, tossed them into a “craft bin” and they are so hard to find. Things get stacked on on top of the other, and sometimes the small things end up falling, and you can’t find them unless you really dig. It’s time consuming, and sometimes frustrating, so I just go buy what I need at that moment. Probably not the best idea…. but it works.
Rubbermaid has these new bins out, called the All Access Storage Bin, and I’m hoping to use these to make it a lot easier to find what I’m looking for. The All Access Storage Bins have a clear, drop down door that lets you see and access what is stored inside. They are very easily stacked to make the most of space, no matter what size you get, and they’re great for organizing closets, children’s toys, craft rooms, laundry rooms, offices, garages, dorm rooms and more. I have a few ideas for how I’m going to use these!
I figured the best way to put these to use was to organize my office/craft room. The Medium bins were perfect for storing my class textbooks. I know exactly where they are, which is awesome since I have to grab a bunch of them quickly as I leave for classes. The Large bins worked perfectly to hold my fabrics and yarns, and all of my yarn needles and crochet hooks. The drop down door is super convenient! I can see exactly what is inside the bins, and if I need to get into one, I can open up the side door to quickly grab pens, or something small that I don’t want to dig for. I also like the fact that they are totally stackable, and I don’t have to unstack everything to just look inside the bins, or to get to things.
