The Project Box

Do you love to create, but can’t find the time? I find that when I’m in the mood to create, by the time I gather all my tools and materials, my time is up! So frustrating! If I could just jump into my project, I could actually get something done.

This was a re-curring problem in our house. So, my daughter and I came up with the “Project Box”. The project box contains the materials necessary for a craft or other creative project. That way, when we have a moment to create, there is no time wasted in hunting down everything we need!

We started we an ordinary plastic storage box.

We added the tools and materials that would be needed for our current project. If we start a new project, we just switch out the contents of the box. Super simple.

How do you organize your creative projects?

    I have my current project stuff on a tray on the table beside my sofa (in my living room/tv room). Unfortunately it all often avalanches off :) So I’m on the lookout for a pretty basket to put it in. That’s for my “work while watching tv projects”. My other projects just stay out on my desk. That all avalanches off too. Bins are good :)

    Nice idea. I like confining projects to a single box instead of several bags and boxes of junk.
