I went out to see if my local Dollar Tree had any autumn stuff in (which they don't yet *tear*) but in the leftover summer section they had these small snack containers in a pack of 3.  They're perfect for smaller ephemera! Each measures 3.375 x 4.5 inches and so far I've only had a slight issue with some larger flower pieces sitting wonky -- but still fit without bending. I don't have a dedicated scrap space and everything I use sits in a raskog but I like having things completely accessible while also covered and away from cat hair  I only grabbed a couple in case they didn't work out but I think I need to head back to get a few more.. almost makes me want to organize my Christmas things I have thrown into a big storage container lol I snagged a couple other containers from their back to school section -- a few that are 10.8 x 7.8 inches with a hinged clasp. I thought of keeping 6x8 pads in here since my vertical storage space is kind of limited. And then a couple that are similar to this but a bit smaller. I was thinking it would fit 3x4 cards in two rows but it's slightly smaller than 8 inches long which is a bummer. I wish I would've seen the larger ones in my store! They'd be perfect for 4x6 cards. |

those are the containers I use for my embossing powders and I love them...got them on super clearance at M's, but the dollar tree would be a more reliable source!

Yes! I buy the larger size ones like this for my popular embossing powder (like white, black, gold)

I love those containers, I have them in gray and aqua. The lids are nice and secure. I actually use them to sort the bits and bobs of my "junk" drawer, but also used them to stash my chocolate during a online crop! And 3 for a $1 is nice!

Dollar tree is a favorite! I use their wooden crates and stain them for ink/punch storage.

Four of these plastic fridge bins fit perfectly in a Raskog cart. So perfect the lip fits over the edge so you could label it if you wanted to. DT fridge bins |

They are more of a cloudy, clear plastic bin |

I did see some bigger storage items there that reminded me of the Target thread. There was only one and I couldn't tell if that was the last or they were stocking more. They looked to be 5X9?? with a lid.

What size are these on the inside? I didn't see a size on their website. Thanks! I just recently built my 2nd Raskog, so I have nothing in them yet. The inside measurements are approximately: bottom: 3" x 10" (a bit difficult to measure the bottom inside) top: 3 1/2" x 10 1/2" (flare out about 1/4" on ea. side at the top, but does not look terrible) 3x4 PL cards do not sit flush at the very bottom (about 1/8" off), but they do fit. Both round and square corners, and they do move freely. I would be comfortable storing my square corner cards in these. As long as they are not smashed down on purpose, the corners should be just fine. I would post a photo, but my phone is not syncing right now. |
