You can't see or use the brads when they're in the original clam shell packages. I love the plastic containers that are small and shallow with locking lids the best. You can find them in the jewelry crafting section at your favorite craft store. I also took the brads off the foam on most of the sets except the pattern tops that you want to see the colors etc. I just combined them to take up less space. I still use brads on my cards, so I'm excited that I can finally see whats in my drawer again. Next are eyelets.
Note: I'm counting my actual cleaning days, not the days in the calendar. I took a tidy break as "life" and health as well as college student home got in the way of organizing for a while. Grace.
