Yesterday I got a bit frustrated. Recently I got a bunch of cross stitch kits. I use an app to mark off my stitches, which means I need to get the paper patterns scanned. So yesterday I got all the kits and took out the patterns. But I always hate the packaging of kits; a plastic bag where the flap is glued. I've had bags tear because the glue is so strong, or tear because it wasn't strong enough to handle taking the kit (pattern, floss, fabric, needle) in and out several times. The glue always sticks to the paper when you take the pattern in or out.
But yesterday I had a light bulb moment and I've just ordered ten zippered mesh bags (currently have eight kits) so each kit can go into it's own bag. I need to get labels to write the name of the kit on. But I hope this will work better than the original packaging. Added bonus is that the bags are all the same size so the smaller kits won't get lost in between the bigger kits. Now I need to get a bag/container to keep my kits in.
