Reddit mentions: The best arts, crafts & sewing storage products

Congrats on snagging some VIP tickets. I haven’t done a Primus VIP yet - but have them for the Columbus show. I’ve done a few CID events in the past though and usually you’ll get an email anywhere from 3-7 days before the show with instructions. For meet and greets they’ll ask you to show up 2-2.5 hours before show time and give you a location to meet - usually at the front of the venue.

For straight up early admission you’ll usually get in an hour before everyone else but since there is a Q&A you may get in earlier.

Tubes are up to the band/merch people. I’ve gotten posters at my last 4 Primus shows and there have always been tubes but I’ve been to shows for other bands on back to back dates where there have been tubes available at one show and not the next. If you’re worried always bring your own just in case. Most of the time you’ll be able to go out to your car but sometimes you can’t - either the venue won’t allow reentry or your host won’t be available to coax them in to letting you back in. If you’re only worried about the poster you can get a reusable plastic tube with a strap that you’d be able to wear on your back during the show. This is probably the best bet and they’re not too expensive. This one is heavy duty and only 18 bucks on Amazon[1].

Enjoy the show and the VIP. In my experience it’s always been more than worth the price if you love the band.

I carry my pens in this inside my bag. Sometimes my pens go in my shirt pocket, I never put them in my pants pocket (some folks like to put them there, but that's a recipe for disaster.) I don't take particular care of my bag unless I put my laptop in there (which is pretty rare), so it gets thrown around a bit.

The ECO, and all my other pens, hold up perfectly. It's only my oldest pens that have any issues, and they're cheap and somewhat misused since I didn't know what I was doing when I first got the pens. I only rinse out the Eco with water when I change inks, and roughly once a semester I have been filling it with a Noodler's Eel ink to lubricate the piston so I don't have to disassemble it and lubricate it myself.

You sound like you treat your pens with care, I wouldn't worry about the Eco, it seems to be a very rugged pen. I don't take great care of my Eco, not like my expensive pens, anyway.

edit: I love the pen case I got, it can hold like 15 pens (and not much else if you pack it that full.) But normally it carries as many pens as I would ever want, plus cartridges, converters, ink vials, a small package of tissues/wipes. You can be set for a semester or two without having to change anything in there.

I love all the suggestions already given so adding on

Does she have a good yarn bag? Smaller ones like this are good if she does small projects. If she does larger ones then something like this is great. I own both and I prefer the second one simply for the large space to store my projects in and that it has a LID.

If she has a sense of humor and shows off her hobby with pride there are a ton of funny crochet tshirts on Amazon. I have.. several.. on my wishlist and am hoping my inlaws will be getting me at least one for Christmas otherwise I'll be buying them myself!

I have a few packs of wooden buttons that i use for lots of different crafts. But, i know that not everyone needs/likes wooden buttons, so i'm not going to link them. xD

But, these pencil cases make me feel super fancy when i use them. They're pretty useful for other things as well - one of my friends uses them for her make-up brushes and stuff like that.

Another of my favorite things i've purchased myself are these small zipper pouches. They fit sharpie sized pens/pencils rather well. I use them for my outdoor drawing kits when i teach my Nature Journaling class.

Last one. If you're into pokemon, there are some small sized plushies that are less than $5 ;)

The Plano 5231 is where I would start. I have several that I keep mine in (my collection is rather large). The top section will accommodate all the ship tokens, the gameplay tokens and templates & obstacles. The inside will easily fit all that you have along with the dials and damage deck with plenty of room to spare. I am storing complete conversion kit cardboard and a majority of the small ships in the boxes. Adding a bunch of large ships to the collection may present an issue eventually, but you can fit a YT-1300 + another large ship without issues. The Ghost does not fit in the box unfortunately.


Edit: The prices on Amazon for the red plano are not great right now though.



The HDX interlocking series is pretty great, too. The containers lock together making it easy to add to the collection as needed and they are easy to carry. These can accommodate the bigger ships like the Ghost, too. maybe go with this. The price is good, too.

​

I know I’m late to this question but, I found a great yarn bag that fixes this problem. It has dividers in it and grommets on top. You place the yarns you’re using in the divided space, pull the center strand from the end of the skein through the grommet and start knitting. I used it for my double strand Afghan and I didn’t have any trouble with the yarn twisting or tangling any further. Here’s a link on Amazon for the Yarn Boss bag Yarn Boss Yarn Bag, Travel With Yarn and all Notions - Yarn Storage To Organize Multiple Projects and Keep Your Yarn Safe and Clean - Wide Grommets Stop Tangling for Best Crochet Bag or Knitting Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4OMPUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Bc50DbJSBP061 Hope this helps:)

Hey @gingeelise, @JaeBells1 and @fuckysprinkles, thanks for your help!

I actually ended up buying her a yarn bag, new ergonomical crochet hooks and a yarn cutter.

Unfortunately where we live, we don't have many options regarding a store that sells quality yarn or fabrics. So I thought this was quite a good options!

I also looked into your wiki and found some inspirations on the online stores when I looked into their assortment.

Again, thank you for your help! I really appreciate it :)

Chiming in because I'm a loudmouth: I can't compare old sample sizes to new, because I just received my first order, but I felt my samples were pretty generous. For only $1, there's enough there for multiple applications of each product. They shadows are so pigmented and cover/blend so easily, you can get away with using the tiniest little amount. I bet I could get at LEAST ten uses out of each sample - at the very least. Probably more! I got little plastic jars from Amazon because I didn't want to screw around with the baggies, and then I just emptied the baggies into the jars. The circular label stickers from the bags fit pretty neatly on the jar lids, and the sample fills about 1/3 of the jar.

I haven't had to move it yet (other than just around my house) but we use
this storage cabinet and I would imagine with some foam strategically placed it would be just fine to move around with


we did happen to find an old overhead projector whose case fit around this storage cabinet perfectly which I would use if moving with all my minis

we also store things other than minis in ours like terrain (both the original cardboard and these stone ones) and tokens in this style holder

well unfortunately it doesn't come with a brush so you'll need that. but otherwise, you're good to go. maybe a case? i bought [this case] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6U3N6O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which is just what i needed. carries the GH, doob tube pre filled with herb (which is also used as the filling device), two cleaning brushes, a microfiber cloth, condom sleeve, and x2 batteries

buy some glass if you're into that. the vapor can get pretty warm. love the vape though.

Craft storage is good. There are clear snap boxes that you can customize the size of the spaces and see through without having to open them.

Something like this
Plastic Organizer Box with Dividers | 36 Compartment Organizer | Clear Organizer Box for Bead Storage, Letter Board Letters, Fishing Tackle, Jewelry, & Screws https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C718QMV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_2JMYCbX4R7ZT0

You could maybe make a shelf to hold them against a wall or door and it could be art, to display all of the things she loves would be a way to spark joy

Go to a dollar store and look for a pencil case it will fit in! Just one of the small zippy kinds. One like this would be really awesome, too. You could put spare coils and such in the extra sections.

Another option I'd like to suggest is trying out the iSub Apex. If you have the original iSub or iSub G (which I'm assuming since you mentioned leaking, lol), you'll love the Apex for sure. It's next to impossible to make leak, no matter what you do.

For crocheting, does she have anything like this?


Miles Kimball Knitting Tote Bag, 18 x 11 x 1 inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MJ789MI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_h7M4DbGGEM4A0

Or a smaller size

I crochet and this would be super cool for traveling and organizing.

If conformity with other indie jars is not an issue, you could consider bead jars. I have the Darice 30 bead jar (I love the clear case it comes in) which is about 1.5" high and .75-1" wide. They have many other sizes, like this one. If you have a JoAnn's or Micheal's nearby, they often have 40-75% off of retail items coupon you can print out on their website that are shared between the two stores.

I also have a bunch of unused bead jars from the 30 jar set you could have for free + shipping if you don't care about the clear rectangle case.

You probably don't need the chip resin brush for either of those paintings, but it wouldn't hurt to own one. The master set comes with a #2 script liner so you don't really need to buy another one. It also comes with a 1" landscape but if you have the money to spare it's really convenient to have two 1" and 2" brushes so you don't have to constantly clean them. (one with the darker shadow color and one with the highlight color, usually).

The only thing I don't see on your list is the beater rack and a trash bin to set it in. The beater rack is what dries the brush, unless you paint in an area where you don't care about paint splattering and can just dry it on the eisel like bob does. It can also be bought in a combo pack that comes with the screen, bucket, and thinner.

There are also some colors that don't come with the master set that bob uses often. You can definitely get by with the colors in the set, but you may want to check the beginners guide and see if you want any other colors.

I embroider. I have bobbin cases that I put all my bobbins in. I embroider free hand so I dont number them and order them like that but my great aunt was a cross stitcher and she had all of hers ordered by number.

This is like the cases I have

I REALLY like this one, and it is a very reasonable price! Notice the shoulder strap and handle, and it is expandable to carry different sizes of posters! Some of the posters given out at SDCC are really large. It is also sturdy and pretty indestructible. And you won't loose the cap! This is a good one.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DLYJJWG/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I7D9SINE8J88&colid=FOTK0ZVFF6LP

If you like selection, here's a another one:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IY1PAVQ?psc=1

I swear by these: HDX 320034 Interlocking Black Small Parts Organizer for Fasteners and Crafts w/ Removable Dividers (2 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GYQXRS6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_T3MFDbE0WQCE2

You can find them at Home Depot for like $12 and they come in a two pack. I have four total and they carry literally my whole collection of about 60 ships. This includes medium and large base ships plus all tokens, templates, other items.

I keep all my cards in a zippered binder with trading card sleeves.

When I go out to play I simply throw the cards and ships I need into my top box which has all of the tokens and templates and jet. It makes things super streamlined and I love it. Doesn’t take up much space either.

Depends on the type. If they're metal, you want to store them in something padded so the paint won't chip. I use Plano 1404 cases to store my wargaming minis, and they'd probably work well for random D&D minis that are Large or smaller as well.

For plastics, I found a couple 3-packs of these interlocking tool organizers. Three of these fit (almost) my entire Bones Kickstarter, which is 200-odd minis. The bigger dragons don't fit in here, and the smaller ones only do because the wings come off. Some of the larger minis also only fit because they disassemble. That said, they let you easily sort all the hero and monster minis, and bring only what you need by locking them together if you want to bring multiple boxes. Instead of looking for tackleboxes, look for tool or part organizers.' They tend to have larger compartments, and some have slats you can move around to customize the shape & size of the compartments.

I use this for my every day carry. It’s a bit chunky, but currently has two pens, a syringe, a couple of cartridges and a sample pot with a ml of Diamine Oxblood in it. It’s not exactly a pretty item, but it’s good and it was cheap. It will protect my pens from drops and keys and being shoved in bags full of work detritus. One day I might replace it with something a little easier on the eye, but for now it’s more than satisfactory.

Maybe! De-bagging makes things a lot less messy for me, at least. I (and others around here) use Darice bead jars, which are fairly affordable and store nicely. Bonus: the little round labels that Shiro includes with sample baggies fit almost perfectly on the top or bottom of the linked jars.

I would love to recommend a Nock case, but I can't really afford one. I made do with this case. It's pretty nice and has room for quite a bit! In all I carry, a Nemosine Singularity, a Lamy Safari, a TWSBI Eco, a sharpie, a little 6inch ruler, flash drive, some sticky notes, and 2 cheap mechanical pencils. If you don't mind the slight bulge/pillowing from being packed, it will still zip.

I use several cases for my tools.. I work from home, so I don't especially need one for when I'm away from home, but in case I do, I purchased this one, and I absolutely love it:
Homecube Large Capacity

A few others I have include:

LIHIT
(I used this one before I upgraded to the large capacity one)

4 Layer HITOP for my fineliners and muji pens.

72 Slot Pencil Wrap for my watercolor pencil crayons.

I also have two regular pencil bags I got from Indigo (in Canada) to hold my pencil crayons and watercolor markers.

Overall, I really really recommend the large capacity Homecube case!

I would keep practicing, because honestly I don't think they are bad for a beginner.
Here's my first painting and the pile of paintings I've done, not including ones I have thrown into the garbage:
http://imgur.com/a/4wNQX

In that process I have learned that I'm not so great at mountains and I like to do wooded/ forest scenes. After doing that many paintings, I am making ones that I am mostly happy with, but they still don't look like Bob's:
http://imgur.com/a/KgY4J

Try to do some different types of paintings like a forest scene, a meadow or a seascape and see how you like those.

If you are still having trouble with things turning to mud, try using less liquid clear/white. If you are still having trouble with things turning to mud, you might not be beating the brushes out well enough.

The brush beater rack was the single best purchase I made since I started painting.

And remember, Bob Ross did over 30.000 paintings over his career, you've only done 2 so don't get discouraged!

I stick my journal in my purse (I have a small one) and I just got this case for my pens and mildliners! It's been awesome. All of the little compartments have been super useful.

Check out this review from jetpens, as it helped me choose my own pen case: https://youtu.be/ls8rklb7kEs.

Personally, I use the LIHIT pen case (that's under $10 right now): https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-Case-inches-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE. For the few months I've used it, it's has been durable, compact, nice to look at, multifunctioned and quite cheap! Good luck with any purchase you make 😀 {DISCLAIMER: N0T A PA1D BO7}

I use the Lihit Lab Compact. Its a cheap case and small enough to fit in my jean pocket. I hold 3 pencils, 4 pens, 2 highlighters, spare lead, and a eraser in mine with some room to spare for some slimmer items like sticky notes or something while still being able to fit in my pocket.

One thing I love about it is the materials its made of. The clips on my pencils tend to be a bit on the strong side and with all the other cases i tried the clips snagged when pulling them out or putting them in. With this case I never really had that problem and can pull them out without issues and for most of my pens/pencils I can simply push it back in without having to lift the clip out.

I just got this Lihit Lab case and like it. It holds a good amount of stuff, looks nice enough, and was really cheap... the cost was the driving factor for me. I am not totally sure what I want/need in a pen case yet, so I didn't want to commit to anything too expensive. This was $10 and does the job pretty darn well!

Same as what /u/kovard said, if you want, you can fit the pencils into a much smaller pouch like this one and save a good amount of space. Or just make rooms for more pencils and pens.
Still a complete preference thing though.

How's the Eco, does it feel smoother or scratchier than other pens?

Yknow, I almost got you some Performance Colors pressed shadows in the exchange, but I couldn't decide what colors to get you.

As far as storage, I found this at my local Micheals. There's also a 30 pc version for a couple bucks cheaper.

If you like Jasmine, sixteen92's Hellebore is so good. You might like Ex Tenebris Lux too.

And if you need brushes, BH Cosmetics is running a good sale right now.

Spending a bit of money will fix your problem.

What you need to do is buy this thing. And then put that inside of a small-ish wastebin. Something like this thing.

Then buy a big thing of turpenoid, like this for instance.

Finally you can buy this guy.

Then here's what you do. When you're ready to change paints, wipe your brush as well as you can with a paper towel. Then clean the brush off in the brush cleaning bucket (which has a screen inside of it, it's not just a bucket--very important). Your brush will be mostly soaked through with turnpenoid, and you then beat off the last bits of paint/turpenoid into the wastebin/rack combo you made.

If you spend this money up front, you will have very pleasant painting experience from now on.

Someone here recommended these and they are perfect! I take the label off the baggie and put it on the lid or the side of the little jar. They are screw top, not snap, but so far I am loving it! plus the jars come out so you can rearrange, etc.

Oh, I also forgot. If you want something bulkier that can carry more than the rolls I linked you below, I have a friend or two that use this case:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WMWCYE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I like it a lot. It can hold a pretty good amount of stuff (enough for field drafting for me and other Geologists' - i.e. 5 drafting pens, 24 pack colored pencils, erasers, drafting pencils, small ruler / protractor, etc.). I do have this one that I use when I need to pack heavy for field notes, but 90% of the time I don't have to. Hence, the smaller less-bulky rolls I linked you below that I am trying to pick up.

Hope one of my suggestions work for you, let me know what you think!

Not OP but it looks really similar to the case I use (Amazon Smile link) and I love it.

I don't know if you're still looking, but if you're looking for transportation on the cheap, I swear by these storage cases for infantry models. The little compartments are just about the perfect size to fit anywhere from 1-3 models each (depending on army and unit, of course; 3 Eldar Guardians might fit just fine, but you'll have trouble fitting 3 Assault Marines), so each one can easily carry 3-4 full units. I only rarely have issues with model breakage, too, though again, some armies are worse than others.

I wouldn't recommend buying from Amazon, though, I've bought them for less at Walmart and at my local craft store. Super cheap and effective, and as long as you aren't tossing them around like a Frisbee, you won't ever have to deal with anything more major than the odd broken arm or ornamental bit.

Yep! I bought this and it fits my eyeshadow sample baggies perfectly :)
The Shiro labels go on almost exactly (I suggest putting them on the bottom so you can see colors from above), and I put Aromaleigh labels on the side.

Cosmos Hard Plastic Clear 36 Compartment Jewelry Storage Box Organizer with Removable Dividers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L1UJXTW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i2QQBb1D6GAKE
Something like this or some sort of storage container for like pills, or fishing bait. You can probably find them at your local craft store, Walmart, or amazon like the link!

I received a yarn bag last christmas and I love it! it's very simple, similar to this one. Whenever I travel, I bring this along. It's great for flying or train rides.

Oh you're running down a slippery slope! I don't know if I would go with separate cartridges, but what you can do is grab these sample vials from Goulet and syphon some ink into them to carry around. I use this case to carry around my pens and samples, along with other things, but I also use this and this based on what I'm doing that day. Sometimes I'll stick with just this because I don't need much. To make filling things easier, I use a blunt tipped syringe. My hands stay clean that way.

If you are still looking, I have this one right here that i use for school: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BD0GPKO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its a great case that i throw in my backpack with all my pens lol. I have 3 fountain pens on one side, and 2 mechanical pencils plus 2 erasers on the other. Heres a link to what mine looks like: https://imgur.com/oYv6BbU

EDIT: Sorry i posted this before seeing that you were looking for something with separate spaces for pens.

I bought a ton of craft organizing boxes like these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07C718QMV/ref=sspa_mw_detail_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm on mobile so that might not be a link

Those boxes are great, you can make some compartments bigger than others for larger pieces. And I color coordinated mine so its satisfying to look at lol. For every day pieces and rings I got a jewelry armoire that is a large mirror I hang over my door. I have yet to find a good way to store bangles :(

I haven't actually received it yet, but I've just bought the Lihit Lab Book pen case. Should store all my essentials and give me an easy overview :)

You won’t regret it.

BeCraftee Best Yarn Bag/Knitting Bag. Portable, Light and Easy to Carry. Yarn Storage Bags Have Pockets for Crochet Hooks & Knitting Needles. Slits on Top to Protect Wool and Prevent Tangling. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015HVQDIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7WuFDbFMX92PQ

Do people's backpacks really not have a pencil holder? Even my climbing bag has a place where you could at least sort of organize pens and pencils, and when I'm in a tree writing to me is about as useful as a DVD rewinder.

I don't know, I guess I don't understand pencil cases. If you don't have a backpack and want something slim then there's stuff like this and if you're going to carry a lot then there are bigger ones. I guess I just like to have a place for things, more than just "here's a sack full of stuff I use".

Thank you! The pouch is from Lihit Lab, their Compact Pen Case. You can find it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BD0GPKE). I have a few different pouches / cases from Lihit Lab, great quality for a reasonable price.

I've used the little plastic organizers (like for tackle) with small plastic bags for a portable solution, but would definitely prefer a small drawer set (with the bags) for a more permanent solution.

Note: links are only for examples, not recommendations of products.

I also throw part of the hardware packaging in with the bags for labeling and always have a marker near the boxes for custom labeling if needed.

Those little plastic stack-able drawers have served me well, both the small desktop ones and the bigger ones, I have 3 big, 2 small, and another cool like art cart thing with a ton of shallow but big drawers. You have room for those bigger ones under there, I would probably recommend one with more, but smaller drawers for the materials it looks like you have. Something Like this that is a terrible expensive one and I would never buy that, but just an example. I have picked mine up from the side of the road/Goodwill. I have the small ones on my desktop.

I haven't worked with it in a while, but I remember my mom had one of these storage containers for hers. She kept the extra from tangling by winding it on the plastic/paper spools in the pic. I don't know if this addresses your exact issue, but I hope it helps!

For a student I'd recommend the Nock Brasstown 100%. https://www.gouletpens.com/nock-co-pen-case-brasstown-raven-aqua/p/NC-NZ60BAq
If that's too steep then this one is pretty nice and it fits a graphing calculator or a pocket notebook too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=twister_B01FVTMSDG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Neat, haven't seen that one before. I have this one and it can hold a ton of stuff. Definitely would recommend if you want something a little larger.

If you are ok with not having individual pen slots, Lihit Lab makes inexpensive but decent pen cases. I have both.

LIHIT LAB. Smart Fit Compact Pen Case (Pencil Case), Water & Stain Repellent, Navy, 3.5" x 6.5'' (A7687-11)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BD0GPKE/

LIHIT LAB Pen Case, 7.9 x 2 x 4.7 inches, Black (A7551-24)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMWCYE/

The lihit lab compact pen case hold 8 of my fountain pens (i have too many edc pens!) I got it on jetpens for $15 but i think Amazon sells it slightly cheaper.


Edit: added link to Amazon. Only $12.43 :)

Nice, I bought the Notebook for my upcoming trip to Canada (Journaling and such).

The case is the Lihit Lab Smart Fit. It fits 3-4 pens on each side, though I only keep my fountain pens on the padded side and use the other side (with the net) for storing a mechanical pencil, a text-marker and a ruler.

It's a nice case for everyday-use and it's also water resistant I think.

Is that case this?. It has really good reviews. How are you liking it so far?

Edit: removed the search-engine portion of the amazon link

Seems like loads of people use this one- you can check out the pocket configuration in the photos. Main thing is, it's not too bulky & still has good storage and protection. I like it https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-LAB-Case-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE

Like these: https://www.amazon.com/Crystal-Hinged-Plastic-Trading-Storage/dp/B005FSWSZM/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1540415156&sr=8-20&keywords=playing+cards+case

For game components like miniatures and dice, I like these types of cases: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L1UJXTW/ref=sxts_kp_lp_3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=8778bc68-27e7-403f-8460-de48b6e788fb&pd_rd_wg=5CFXk&pf_rd_r=RJGM5RHN067EPRPV971T&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B00L1UJXTW&pd_rd_w=wmwYN&pf_rd_i=tackle+box+organizer&pd_rd_r=8ea6e90a-e326-4cf2-bee5-fb3c08858644&ie=UTF8&qid=1540415260&sr=3

I have this container that's designed for holding small beads, works great to keeping parts contained, and secured if needed. Similar to this

We're similar, you and I!

I'm strongly considering a peg board for my tools and such, because I think it looks nicer and keeps stuff handy.

Right now most of our spare parts are in boxes and a cloth shopping bag. We're considering a drawer system, kinda like this one or something like that on the wall.

Please do! I'll link below some of the types that i considered prior to finding mine :) yesss, i should be thankful postcards are only up to 15baht and the lowest denomination is 3 baht (i think). i've seen US stamps have 1 cent stamps. O.O!

medicine organiser , screw organiser , organiser with removable dividers the last one i personally like because if you have larger stamps then you can make the slot larger. the one in my picture is actually removable as well but i ended up putting all the dividers in anyway.

Well I have a book-style bag for my pens and mech pencils from Lihit Lab that I really love.

Pretty sure I have the same one and I got it from amazon. It's huge!

Lihit lab case pretty nice https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-Compact-Pencil-Repellent-A7687-24/dp/B01BD0GPKO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=lihit+lab+case&qid=1573780771&s=office-products&sr=1-3

I just had this come in today from Amazon and its great. Might be a little bigger than what you want but overall its not that large. In the front left I have 4 Pilot G-2s and 4 Pilot V5s and in the front right I have 6 different Fountain Pens. I cant say much for durability since it just came in today but it feels like a quality product.

As msghmr mentioned, Futurlec ships the grab bags in labeled small plastic baggies. I ended up consolidating equal value components, relabeling when necessary, and then put the baggies in a plastic drawer setup.

It took about an hour or two of pulling off the tape from every single component and rebagging, but it's well worth it. Now I can open the <1KOhm resistor drawer, flip through the sorted bags in there, pull out the bag I want, and grab the resistors I need -- and similarly with caps, diodes, ICs, and transistors.

I use craft organizers. You can usually find something like this at hobby stores. Otherwise, tackle boxes are fantastic for...well...everything. I've built multiple first-aid kits out of tackle boxes.

Painting can be definitely be messy if you let it be, but a roll of paper towels and a brush beater rack should help you keep the mess to a minimum.

To start, there's always the Happy Little Beginner's Guide. If you still have questions after reading the guide, feel free to post them here.

I recommend buying eyeshadow samples - in my experience, Shiro's samples are actually quite generous. You can store your shadows in bead containers like this: Darice Bead Storage on Amazon or you can buy 5g or 3g jars (from a variety of vendors including Amazon, TKB trading, Coastal Scents, etc).

There is a bit of a learning curve with loose powders, but overall you can use them similarly to pressed shadows.

Also, the Fyrinnae customer service issue has since been resolved (the person creating problems has been fired and the owner has joined this subreddit and is awesome) - you may compile your wishlist as you please :)

LIHIT LAB Pen Case, Black, 4.7 x 7.9" (A7551-24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_goJ-ybWVXQRSW


Great experience so far! Lots of space to hold pens!

It’s the Lihit Lab Pen Case. It’s on Amazon for $8-10. Been loving it so far. Here’s the link to it: https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-Case-inches-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538077661&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lihit+lab&dpPl=1&dpID=41iFZrvOA8L&ref=plSrch

This super cheap one from Amazon.

I love the Lihit Lab Smartfit that I have. It fits my six pens/pencils along with a stapler, scissors, lead, eraser, and calculator. It's also not too bulky so that's a plus!

That and a the big portfolio folder for the overflow is great. This is the one I use. I have ~70 of them framed on the walls and another 30 or so in this.

I have a Mudder hardshell case that I bought on Amazon which is perfect for carrying three or four pens. I also keep a little silicone grease, a cloth, and some q tips in there.

If you're looking to/don't mind storing multiple mats in one tube, these Architect document tubes work great.

If you want a different tube for each mat, I would go the monster tube route someone else posted about.

Anything from Lihit Lab. It’s inexpensive and solid. I have the “Teffa” model and it holds a lot. I also use Nock cases. They are made in the U.S. and are amazing.

You could always decant the baggies into bead containers - this one has exactly enough jars for the collection! I usually use the 24 jar version of the same thing and it's great.

https://www.amazon.ca/LIHIT-LAB-Case-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523858453&sr=8-1&keywords=lihit+lab+pen+case&dpID=41iFZrvOA8L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

I currently use this one, it can fit at least 12 pens! Also, it has pouches on the other side that can fit spare cartridges/converters and other stationary items.

Hmm, I bought my jars from Amazon. And son of a b, I bought them for $12 and now they are $6.93!

Now, they are a bit taller than the normal eyeshadow jars you'll get from companies, but they are cheap haha.

I needed something which was easily accessible, large, and cheap. These ended up being ideal. I also put basic shelf liners in them to keep the minis from sliding around when you open and shut the drawers. If I can't see all my minis at a glance, I tend to forget which ones I have and some may not get used because of that. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00447PDG6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

I like it so far, it may be a little small for some collections, but it’s a good size for everyday carry

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R571L2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

it is not very sturdy though. It looks like the lid will break easily from the rest of the box (but still will be functional). I was trying not to spend much money on this because I'm just starting to get the hang of it. Also, the bobbins are made of cardboard. But hey, it does the job!

Sorry I'm a burden but this is literally the one I'm going to try to bring in, you're saying these are okay? I'm from MO and pretty much no venues allow any type of poster tube.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DLYJJWG/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_b7LWBb1PGXRJA

Idk of its just me, but I wouldn't put any pen in there. It'd be way too easy to get them all scratched up, especially my resin ones.

I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BXQZMK2/ref=sxts1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491346693&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65

That's the one I got a few months ago and uses a pencil case. But I absolutely love it, and it would probably work for your needs too.

Might be a bit too big, but I really like this case by Lihit Lab

There are numerous pencil cases on Amazon that would fit the bill; here's a soft-sided one I bought back in August or September. I don't use it ATM, but it easily holds 6 assembled darts and as long as you don't sit on it the flights wont get smashed.

I'm still using an hold semi-hard sided hard drive case from 30~ years ago: what I use.

I get that feel too, Grinch.

Thanks for the contest!

This stocking stuffer would be used for my paint brushes!

It looks exactly like this case that I have from Amazon. The elastic strips at the top and bottom are a single piece each, just stitched to the backing between pens, so it won't keep them from bumping if you're really thrashing it but it keeps them apart under normal circumstances. The only trouble I've had with it is that my Noodler's Neponset is a touch too big and has stretched the elastic beyond where it will go back to normal, so I have just dedicated that spot to that pen.

Edit: clarified one spot

I got it yesterday from Amazon and it was cheap! I have a giant Kipling case that's impossibly impractical to carry around. This is like a Tardis: bigger in the inside!

The ribbon was learned from The Revision Guide. And of course I now banner everything!

I think DMC is the standard for decent floss, though there's much fancier kinds of floss. I use a mix of crappy cheap floss and decent stuff (because I got a lot of packs of it at thrift stores and garage sales, so I wasn't being choosy) and the crappy stuff is okay if I use thread conditioner with it (Thread Magic is what I use). Floche is a kind of single strand floss that's usually higher quality than what you get elsewhere an there's silk flosses but really any six-strand cotton floss should be fine. (here's a post on kinds of floss.)

I use bobbin cards in a box to store my floss. They are pretty cheap in the US. But you can make your own bobbin cards out of cardboard. But before that I just grouped the floss by color in zip lock bags.

I collect posters/prints. The ones that don't get framed and hung go into an itoya portfolio. Storing flat is key. Acid free.

Jealous!

I have a lihit labs case : https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-LAB-Case-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492808329&sr=8-1&keywords=lihit+labs

I love this, and carry everything I've ever needed for class/work.

Currently: 9 Fountain pens, 9 Mechanical pencils, 3 Tubes of replacement erasers, 3 sizes of leads, a Boxy and Eknock, replacement eknocks, 5 inch clear graph ruler, eraser shield, usb drive, back up apple earbuds, 3 highlighters, sharpie.

Looooveeee it. I need to downsize heavily lol. I just hate that ink isn't portable and have to keep some at office and some at home.

I think you'd probably like this yarn storage bag if you don't already have one!!

This is the defacto standard in portfolio:

http://www.amazon.com/Itoya-Profolio-Storage-Display-Portfolio/dp/B00009R8XD

but make sure you follow /u/metrodrone instructions about flattening.

If you have prints larger than 18x24 let me know and i will link you to a larger portfolio, but they get much more expensive.

What prints do you have?

They're small enough that you could put them next to some pens in your bag and they wouldn't even notice. But I don't even bother. I keep my battery and like four or five different carts in a little zip up case and just toss that into my bag. The only time I haven't is when I go through OKC. But I've never been hassled otherwise.

thanks, it’s the Lihit Lab Compact Pencil Case

These profolios hold 48 posters! They fluctuate in price ($35-$52) on Amazon. $35 right now! Grab one! Get those things out of those tubes! Store under bed.

Itoya Profolio

Huge backpack and Itoya art portfolios if you get a lot of prints. Holds them flat. Don't have to worry about straightening them back out.

I think the one that OP has would be slim enough - I’m think it’s this one.

The problem with the double and triple section ones is that they really are bulky, so those work best with backpacks.

Lihit Lab Smart Fit

I wanted this one and it looks to hold a shitload of pens!

https://www.amazon.com/Homecube-Capacity-Durable-Students-Stationery/dp/B01KLW6EWY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488044870&sr=8-1&keywords=Homecube+pen+case

I bought this one because it has better organization, but may not hold 25 pens and markers. Although some reviewers say they have 20-25 pens in theirs.

https://www.amazon.com/LIHIT-LAB-Case-Black-A7551-24/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488044984&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=limit+lab+book+style+pen+case

Something like this. You can find these bags at Michaels or Joanne's too

How about this?

I have one. I store 5 sketch pens in it, and 3-4 fountain pens as well.

I bought [one of these](Mudder EVA Hard Shell Stylus Pen Pencil Case Holder for Executive Fountain Pen and Stylus Touch Pen https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01C6U3N6O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Kxkqyb912NV1M) and I love it. The depth of the case means that the pens opposite don't touch each other. There isn't a gap between them but the case is about 2.5 noodler ahabs wide and if you clip the pens in they don't move.

How large are your posters? If they aren't too big, I put mine into art portfolio books

I have no idea if this one is any good, but I just ordered it yesterday and should receive it next week some time. Might be worth looking at!

I'm purchasing some jars to store them in now that I'm done hauling for a while.

I'm torn between using the [Darice 1.5" Diameter x .75" Tall]
(http://www.amazon.com/Darice-2025-251-Clear-Container-Storage/dp/B002DPINS6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406499805&sr=8-1&keywords=bead+storage&dpPl=1) and the Darice .75" Diameter x .1" Tall. While I want them to be the same 5 gram jars that Shiro and HW use, so they're all around the same height, but it's so much cheaper to buy the large pack with Amazon Prime.

I really like this one - Lihit Lab Pen Case. Tombow brush pens will fit in the back pocket. If you want something bigger, there's the Kipling 100 Pens Case, but I don't really like that one because the slots in the front only hold really thin pens (like Gelly Roll sized).

I carry my pens and pencils to work everyday. I have a nice zipped pouch that holds them and it fits in my bag. I do have a locked drawer at work too but I prefer keeping the writing utensils with me.

I use these for samples and I couldn't be happier. I have 3 mostly full already and I'm filling a 4th for my sister. You can fit most labels on the lid or the bottom.

This is the American Amazon. I found it on my Canadian one for less so maybe search around if a couple dollars means anything to you: https://www.amazon.com/UNIWENT-Twilight-Bandage-Synthetic-Leather/dp/B00EQUTLLY

I use a pencil case similar to this one found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMWCYE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dlhyxbBY7AHS2

Amazon link: LIHIT LAB. Compact Pen Case (Pencil Case), Water & Stain Repellent, Black, 3.5" x 6.5'' (A7687-24) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BD0GPKO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mTjTDb0290ZR2

I've been eyeing this case on Amazon.

It's one of dozens of similar cases on amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01C6U3N6O/

I only have so much space on my walls, I have about 25 frames posters up at a time and once I have to switch any out they go into this art portfolio I bought on Amazon. I'll have to buy another one after probably one more year of shows.

I use a toolbox on wheels that divides into ~10 sections for power tools, hand tools, screws, bolts, etc. etc. etc. (So I can roll that shit down to the cars when husband duties call)

I also use something like this for non tool materials and loose items. Heavy tools generally stay on the work bench and are bolted down where appreciate.

I ordered something similar to Tubasco ... can fit all the necessities. Not so much of a "hardshell" but does the trick

I was actual going to make a post about this. I love my Lihit Labs case. Specifically this one. It has a lot of storage capacity and is made with quality materials and is a book design with one 2 sides to put pens and 2 sides to put miscellaneous stationary.

https://www.amazon.com/Pencil-Holder-Executive-Fountain-Stylus/dp/B01FZ9Q5WW/

Here's another option you can consider.

Never seen that one before, but if you are unable to find it, this one is my personal recommendation

Also here to suggest tackleboxes such as these.

I have that exact case, its actually in stock.
Link: https://www.amazon.com/Pencil-Holder-Executive-Fountain-Stylus/dp/B01FZ9Q5WW

I second the Lihit Lab idea. I have a Bag-in-Bag (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004WMW7MQ/) that I uses to carry the book I'm reading and some extra stationaries, but I imagine you can stuff scissors and stuffs into the main component and carry it around, although it doesn't have elastic bands to hold anything in place.

Also, maybe try this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BD0GPKE/

If I wear a shirt with a pocket, I usually have two pens in it. I also usually have an aluminum Kaweco Al-Sport in my pants pocket.

In addition, if I'm at work or otherwise not going to be somehow athletic, I carry a cheap 12-pen case like this one.

From what I know, the sticky plascticizer will not become an issue for a long time if they’re stored in their boxes.

But, I use a plastic crafts box to store my pieces! Typically they let you move around the dividers, which is where I put bigger accessories. Plus, you can open it up once in a while to let everything breath all at once.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/KNITTING-crocheting-anywhere-Accessories-Tangling/dp/B015HVQDIY that's the one I have

I personally use this one myself

I have these

This one which has my BuJo stuff....ruler, eraser, Rotring 600 0.5 and 600 Ballpoint and two Micron PN markers. I keep this one in my laptop bag

This one I use for keeping my Zebra F-xMD stash, fountain pen ink bottles, spare leads etc

This one I use to keep my Fountain Pens, Parker Pens and other misc pens in

If you're serious about your pen game, I recommend you get a really good pencil case with organization. Here's the one I have. I've lost 1 pen since October, and that's only because it was stolen.

This does the trick for me if you're planning on carrying around more than one pen or pencil. I try to carry them nib side up and sometimes horizontal. I find that unless you're slamming the bag down or dropping it you shouldn't have any ink seeping out into the cap. Condensation is normal.

I have bought two cases, one for vtc mini and Hercules and one for Cubiod and Hercules.

I'm a little unclear on the capacity that you need, and are you intending on carrying this around all the time?

Here's a 48 pen case so you can hold all the writing materials in one. The same company makes a 12 pen case if you only need to carry around a few at a time.

I desperately want this one.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4OMPUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LzZpDbG05JPFG

Lihit Lab $8.45.

iDream365 Hard Case $7.96.

I use and like both of the cases above, but you could also consider using a hard eyeglass case and you might already have one or more of these around the house. The downside is these might not fit larger pens and they don't protect against scratches if you put two or more pens in them.

As mentioned already, some vape cases could work, or you could look at cigar cases.

There's lots of possibilities.

Thank you!

I keep all of my loose shadows in a bead container, seen on Amazon here. I sort all of my shadows based on color, and stack them in an order that doesn't change. So I roll a die to pick which box of smaller containers, then again to see which column to pick, then again to see how far down the row I should go. If I pick a shadow that I've used before (since the purpose is to use the shadows that I don't use) then I roll again.

this is what i use. it's an ok case just that one of the pockets on the inside was tearing from the seem when i stuck one of my block erasers in there. other than that no complaints.
