Ross and Home Goods sells cardboard storage boxes, covered in interesting paper. Or, if those are too large, you could cover any cardboard box with fabric or paper. I prefer fabric for the strength it gives the cardboard. I also save small wooden boxes that cheese comes in and cover them, too. My sewing box is heavy cardboard covered with fabric. It has drawers, so gets opened and closed a lot. It was my mom's when she was a teenager (she's 96 now) and it's still going strong. Sharon C.
-----Original Message----- From: h-costume [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lavolta Press Sent: Friday, May 3, 2019 5:35 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Storage of trims and so forth I have a bunch of relatively new plastic containers (Artbin brand) for ends of ribbon, lace, appliques, millinery flowers, what have you. I don't like them. They offgass--if not aired out every day my sewing room smells like plastic. They admit light. The handles fall off. And they do not coordinate with my Arts & Crafts furniture and decor. Does anyone have any ideas for non-plastic containers for this kind of thing?
