Three Dozen Eggs And Perle Cotton...

 Balls of Perle Cotton 

I have been trying to figure out ways to store my Perle Cotton...
I tried large Ziploc plastic bags, but everything just became a mess.  I needed something portable and didn't want them to 'unwind'.  

I thought about using hair 'scrunchies' around each ball, 
to keep them from unraveling.  But that would be a serious 
amount of hair 'scrunchies' !  (I use tiny hair 'scrunchies' on my sewing bobbins 
to keep them from unwinding. They work like a charm.)







My family eats 3 dozen eggs each week.
(I bake A LOT !  Angel Food Cakes and Creme Brulee take a lot of eggs. ;)

(Read this as : "I have a serious amount of egg cartons 
that I don't know what to do with" !)



Problem solved. ;)
I love how they nestle into place and no unraveling threads.
Everything in clear view.



An added bonus is that the boxes stack neatly on top of one another for storage. (Space saving !)

(Tip: Label the outside of each carton with the colors, numbers or brands of the Perle Cotton that are in each box...
a little organization makes finding what you want so much easier.)

Have a great weekend...
