Creative Storage
April 25th, 2008 by Jen Love
I picked up these for cheap at my favorite antique store to stack in my craft room. I am alway needing more bins to put my fabric and supplies in and know these will travel! My favorite part is the inside because you don’t expect this bright apple green lining.
I filled the smallest suitcase with my wool yarn. The second with scraps and smaller pieces of fabric. And the largest with fabric I know I have at least 1 yard. This helps to keep me organized and to know where to go when I am looking for a new idea, and easy to travel to another room to work. Plus I like buying something that is multi-purposed; if I get tired of them in my craft room I could always use them for luggage!

That is BRILLIANT.
I never thought of using suit cases for that before. But, it makes so much sense and it is totally cute too.
Thanks!

I do the exact same thing! I have a couple of hard suitcases that were my mom’s in the 1950’s and then got another one thrifting. Each one holds something different. It works really well!
Of course, none of mine have super cool apple green lining. Those are beauties!
