My Christmas Ornament Storage Drawers

[kmmcrafts]

These drawers are awesome for storing my ornaments.. Much better than the way I did when i first started out.. by just stacking them in small storage bins.. they always use to get messed up and made for digging through the bin to find the ornament I needed.. These stay in their select location for the most part unless i get rough and close the drawer too hard.. Just thought this might be of help to others that sell ornaments.. and the frustration of spending an hour digging for one in a storage tote, LOL

Nice idea Kevin.  Looks like some empty space though need filled.   The organizer in me would want dividers to keep them in their separate place.

Yeah, i actually thought about doing that with some paper board like old cereal boxes or something.. But actually they stay put pretty well.. the only ones that may slide around much is the short stacks that only have a couple and no other surrounding it.. a piece of non-slip drawer liners from the dollar store on the bottom of the drawer would work well for that.. last year early fall is when I got these.. and set them up.. I should have showed my little numbers.. but I have the drawers numbered and part numbers wrote on the bottom of the drawer so I can see what ornament was supposed to be in the stack if I run out.. which you can clearly see I ran out of a lot of them, LOL.. I also have the part number set up on my web site so i know what drawer and position within the drawer the ornament should be..   

Edit to say: I don't think these would work out all that well for those that go to shows.. I'm certain they'd get bounce all around if you moved the drawers and loading them in the car etc.. But I don't have to worry about that stuff..

I like the "locking" feature, that is nice.

Do you know what brand they are? I have not seen a drawer set like these.

Nice way to organize them. I too would like to know when you found them, they would work great in my shop. Thanks for sharing .

I'll look to be sure as the tags are still on them.. but I think they are Bella brand.. I bought them on black friday 2016 at Menards.. but.. I've seen them in Menards since then so i think they carry them.. I've seen them on their site before too... but I cannot seem to find them now.. I've also seen them at Joanne Fabrics as I think Walmart.. I'll look into it more and see if I can find them somewhere..I've actually posted a link to them when Iggy was looking for storage solutions for his puzzles last year.. maybe I can dig up the post to find them..

 

Edited to say.. I found the topic where I posted a link.. but the link is not what I have.. just similar.. without the lock / latching system.. I cannot seem to find them.. Next time I go up in the loft I'll take the UPC numbers and figure out what they are.. as I am curious too.. since I'd like to buy a few more..

I have one very simular to yurs only I put that drawer liner from the dollar store that keeps the decorations from shifting when you open the drawers of move it.I used them at work( now retired) to keep my tools in place.
