    I also have 4 of those boxes ordered online ( on sale of course) during the pandemic. I originally put 2.5 inch scrap strips in them while sorting 4 trash bags of scraps and remnants of prior projects.
    I now sort by juvenile/novelty, darks, lights, and one for strips that are not width of fabric. I keep my jelly rolls separate unopened. into bins.
    The best part is that those bins snap closed securely and are see through. I now know they fit into one of your Harbor Freight tool carts. A future purchase when ready.
    Great, practical, unsponsored storage equipment for any level quilter.

    I also discovered these a year or so ago. You can sometimes get them on sale at Joann's. What I initially purchased for was to hold zippers. I had made several bulk purchases of zippers in various lengths. These containers have let me store by length and I also stack on top of cabinetry/shelving! Love your share... thanks so much for taking the time!!!

    I had seen this jelly roll box in an earlier video that you had made. It peaked my interest and the next time I was in joanns, I bought one. Michelle, what a difference. All my 2 1/2" binding strips/scraps were shoved into 2 plastic shoeboxes. Over flowing. You sure know how to inspire people! I got a good movie going and I pressed all those strips flat and they went into that jelly roll box - neat as a pin! I love that! Now when I want to get a piece of binding. I'll be able to just go get it! What a giant difference. Thank you again, I had no idea I needed that jelly roll storage box so much!!

They’re on my “Hope to find on Sale” list! I love neat, practical organization! AND I love your UA-cam videos! THANK YOU🫶✂️🪡🧵

    I have not seen these near me as I live quite rural. I use a clear shoe box for WOF jelly roll pieces and a sweater box for pieces shorter then WOF and separate by color. My new jelly rolls that are not opened yet are in a zippered tote bag originally for CD 's. They are also for my 5 in. squares. Got perfectly.

    I rarely buy jelly rolls or most other precuts but I do sometimes have leftover 2 1/2" strips from yardage and I put those in a container from Wal-Mart to use in a scrap quilt or some other project. I do use a similar container to the square one for projects and really like those. The 2 1/2" strip container looks like it would be really handy for those that regularly buy jelly rolls or have a lot of scrappy 2 1/2" strips.

    I have 6 of the 14X14” art bins that I use for current WIP. Jelly rolls I manage, if unwrapped, in a see thru container, sets held together with loose rubber bands. These are stacked on top of one another, which makes searching thru easy. I could not justify the cost for individual strip containers, Altho I think they are a great way to store them!

    Great idea for those who need it. I have only have one jelly roll and it was a gift from my husband. He saw it in our local shop with 40% off and remembered me saying how pretty it was but I’d never pay full price as they are very expensive here. I don’t think I will be using it any time soon as it is Lily Asbury’s Fancy line and it will have to be a very special project where I don’t cut it up too much as I love her designs. I was sad when she stopped designing fabric.

    Nice tip. I do try to use up the whole jelly roll in a project but for leftover ones I keep them in a storage container similar to yours but smaller so it fits on my shelves. Try to keep the white ones separate since I use more of those for binding, etc. I have lots of storage containers for other leftover cuts of 5", 2 1/2" etc purchased at Dollar General or wherever they are on sale.

Really, better to throw in med, shallow square bins, by color, or fabric line, etc., and have fun rummaging through, and no need to straighten out, it’s easier, faster, and a lot more enjoyable to poke through :)

      @thesimplequilter7499 they are 12in by 5 to six in and have lids especially the ones that are flat instead of standing up, only have to fold once and fits 2 rows of strips

    I don't think we can get those long containers here, although I do have quite a few of the 12" square ones. So far, I keep my loose jelly roll strips in an old Tupperware celery keeper, just the right width, but it is filling up. I will definitely keep an eye out for those though, they look perfect.
