Through 2021 the craft drawer was a graveyard of dried glue sticks and marker caps with no markers. I moved the living supplies into one caddy on the kitchen counter and tossed the rest. Kids could reach it. I could see the empty slots before we ran out mid-project.

A visible caddy beats a deep drawer when you are trying to keep Sunday afternoon from exploding across the table. It also makes a kitchen reset faster: lift the caddy, wipe the counter, set it back. That is the same motion I use after packing boxes or after a cleaner has been through.

If your craft stuff travels between houses, pack the caddy as one unit. Do not loose-bag glitter. A closed kit survives a van ride and does not undo the room you just organized.
