Cart Storage???

[tubachick]

Ok, now after shopping yesterday, I have to find a new way to store the carts. How are you all keeping them??

I don't have a jukebox or a gypsy either. Just the boxes, and some solutions carts that are not in boxes.

I took the plunge and threw away my boxes! I have them all stored in photo storage boxes (actually they are more the size of VHS tape storage boxes), alphabetically, of course. I am thinking hard about taking the cartridges themselves out and finding better storage for them, but the booklets and overlays are in the photo storage boxes. I find it works for me!

I store all mine in boxes in cd wire cases. For solutions I can boxes and alter them to be a box for that cartridge.

I store mine in a Snapware Ribbon organizer, as seen here: http://www.acmoore.com/p-31380-snap-n-stack-craft-organizer-ribbon-dispenser-.aspx?Affiliateid=10053. I actually bought it at JoAnn's, but their website is currently down. Anyhow, the 'ribbon' section is perfect for the booklets & overlays, and the smaller section is where I store my carts. Its so much easier to take out & clean up now, and they are so easy to transport to crops without taking up a hug amount of space!

We installed shelves on the end of one of our desks - you know those metal standards that you stick adjustable brackets onto? We put plywood "shelves" on the brackets, and put the carts on. That way, the spines stick out like books, and we can read and pull as we need. They don't take up much room, and are easily accessible.

We don't have any solutions carts, so I don't know what you would do about those.

i have tried and tried to find a way and just can't get it where i like it. i've had them in all different kinds of storage systems. so right now they are all in soda case boxes!

I have mine in wooden cd crates that are hung on the wall above my Cricut. It makes it really easy for me to grab the one I want. I only have 2 solutions carts and I put them back in the plastic they came in and they are on the shelves with the other cartridges, but standing inbetween some of the boxes.

Mine are just stacked up willy nilly.

Ignore the little green guy. He is going someplace else for Christmas.

Where? where is he going - someplace special I hope

To the land of ice and snow
Where the cold wind blows.




Okay, he's going where the snow and wind can destroy a gazebo.

I took mine out of the boxes too. I have the booklets and the keypads in a photo box, and I have the carts in a Snapware container. I am not sure the carts I bought will all fit in the small container I have. But I bought it in a set, and I have another one the same size, so I can just add it.

At The Container Store, I saw the size that will fit the booklets, so at some point I am going to get those, but it will probably make the setup really tall, since I think I need two. But I suppose I could put my most used in one set, and everything else in another.

I keep mine in this stamp storage container I purchased at M's. The best way to describe it is that one side has a zipper with a clear, snap case with little compartments that I keep the cartridges in. The other side is a zippered area that I keep all the books and overlays in. I have about 20 cartridges. It looks like a little polka dot suitcase with a handle. I even managed to get it in cricut green. Sorry I don't know the brand but I do know that it is a staple at M's. They have it on the center aisles alot along with other storage solutions. Just look for a grouping of polka dots containers.
