\"Storage<\/p>\n

Choose Metal Or Galvanized Tin Buckets Over Plastic For This Storage Idea:
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple, sturdy, compact and portable… this galvanized metal bucket makes a great storage solution for your polymer clay jewelry making tools and<\/span> supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is small enough to sit on your work table, but big enough to store lots of tools that are easy to use and return to their place. Which is a good thing since most of us artists’ workspaces can get pretty chaotic!<\/span><\/p>\n

I like metal buckets over plastic for this purpose because of their sturdiness and weight. Plus, the thin rim of the metal bucket is perfect for hanging many pairs of jewelry making pliers and cutters.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the inside of my storage bucket pictured above, are a couple of tin cans holding brushes, mandrels, files, dowels, needles, spatulas and carving tools. There is also a rectangular acrylic box that holds templates and cutters, As well, there are rulers, hammers, a clay measurement tool, acrylic sheet for rolling lentils and my acrylic rolling pin… all stored in the center of the bucket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall I have over 50 polymer clay jewelry making tools and supplies in this little half gallon metal bucket! Now that’s what I call efficient tool storage!<\/span><\/p>\n
