How to Keep Your Crafts Pet Fur Free part 1
The first step to making a ‘clean’ craft is to start with clean materials. As any pet lover can tell you, anything left out is fair game to a fuzz ball. Properly storing yarn and fabric makes a big difference.
I love those Sterilite plastic storage bins and stackable units. They’re cheap, lightweight, and have clear drawers so I can see what I have without too much digging. Keep an eye on the ‘back to college’ sales to pick these up for even less!
If you can’t afford to buy containers, just keeping materials in plastic shopping bags will work. Using paper or an index card, make a note of what’s in each bag and staple it to the outside. If it’s a hassle to find stuff, you won’t stick to this one, so the list is important.
These bags can be stored in an existing chest of drawers, closet, or even a cardboard box.
