SKUBB boxes
These are made with the SKUBB series of boxes from IKEA, which means they should be available worldwide!
The large box comes in a set of three for $19 CAD.
The inside compartments come in a set of six assorted sizes for $9.99 CAD
You may find similar closet-organizer or storage boxes that fold flat. However, I found these SKUBB boxes to be more durable than most, as they are made with a corrugated plastic inside rather than cardboard.
Hi,
I just wanted to thank you very much for all these great tips.
Great thinking by placing tape ‘sticky side’ out and let the magnet find it’s own centre..
Solves the “Polarity” problem. If magnets were wrong way around, the sign would be ‘repelled’ al the time.
Dynamike.
Indeed! Most of my tips are the result of making mistakes and finding a way to fix it. 🙂
GREAT tips. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate your fine tips and hard work. Great job!
