VINTAGE INDUSTRIAL STYLE METAL BOXES FOR CRAFTING AND OFFICE SUPPLIES


The first place I go at an estate sale is the basement. That's where people store items from years gone by. Things that "might" get used again, but never do. For years I passed up rusty tool, utility and tackle boxes. No more! The industrial look is the newest rage in collecting. These great boxes have unlimited uses. Perfect for crafting and office supplies. The sections in this one are great for beads, sewing trims, pins, paper clips and other smalls. The bottom is large enough for a few pairs of scissors.

This one is smaller without sections and would be perfect for a few pairs of scissors or to keep bills and mail in. It is a Beanz O Matic utility box.

Love the blue color!
