As I was running around this week trying to get ready to fly from New York to LA, one of my biggest problems was deciding which projects to bring and how to pack them in a way that wouldn’t result in a tangled mess of embroidery floss and crochet hooks. I eventually settled on a system of tightly wrapped and stacked tote bags, but I really wish I’d seen Amy Powers’ crafting suitcase tutorial from her Inspire Co. blog before I left! It’s truly an inspired piece of organizational art, and I think the magnetic bead organizers and paper trays are particularly brilliant.
What are your favorite travel tips and secrets for bringing crafty projects along?

What a great idea! We live in a very small house, so I could organize and pack everything into a small, convenient space. Thanks.
My tip? Only bring started projects so you know what you need.
Excellent post! I think you’ve encapsulated the mission of this blog and our challenge.
