I use a Grab n Go that I found on clearance at either Michael's or A.C. Moore. It does not fit the larger jars (unless you jumble them together in the top bin but not too many fit). I'm packing for a move next month so I can't check how many little jars fit but I probably have 200 and it holds about 50-60% of them - the rest are in SU clamshell cases.
When trying to find a photo it seems there are various sizes of the "bins" but I think you'd need at least 2. Hopefully the link still works so you can see what it looks like (mine is blue and green to coordinate with my craft room).
Hi Karin,
This is my chart & how I store my H20's ...I have 106 of the little jars & a few of the large ones. I bought this small 5 drawer container from Walmart (the last drawer has a few stamps in them)
I have them categorized by color family & I also removed all the covers. It's just easier for me to see all the colors immediately & not have to deal with those caps. I've had it stored uncapped for a few years now with no problems.
Good luck in finding the perfect system for you!
Happy coloring!

If I can't find another grab'n-go to match the one I have I think I'll use this idea. I might use it anyway because it accommodates the larger jars. Do they fit with the covers on (not sure if you just find it easier to keep them off or if you needed the room; it looks like it's just easier but I'd like to be sure. TIA!)

I don't go to crops or travel with my supplies so mine are in a drawer of my Scrap 'n Cube. I also have a reference chart with my colors on them. You can see complete details with many photos here. Works great for me.

I don't like to stack mine...I hate digging so I have mine in the large SU clam shells by color family. Then the clam shells are stacked on a book case shelf. The clam shells started as just a place to put them then it started to work so I've kept it. All my stamps are unmounted to I have the extra plastic cases that I use for other things.

Hi! Yes, they would fit with the covers on. Without the caps (single layer stack), there's still about an inch space available. I can stack 2 layers of pots without caps.
If you're going shopping for a storage system, you may want to take a few H20's with you so that you can see how they fit before you buy.
I removed the covers because I love seeing the pretty colors when I open the drawers & it's quicker & easier for me to see what I need right away. Just my personal preference.
Good luck with your organizing!

Thanks for answering my question. Most of the time when I buy something "organizational" it's a spontaneous purchase (too good a price and it looks like it will work - and it usually does!) but I agree about taking a few jars (both sizes) if I "shop" for add'l twinkling storage.
I considered storing the jars without lids but had no place to keep the lids so they stay on the jars. If/when I get more storage maybe I can dedicate a bin for the lids 'coz I agree that it is prettier and easier to have the jars open.
Our new apartment (moving end of July) will have a large room for my crafting but we plan/hope to buy something in 1-2 years and that won't be as large so I am trying to keep myself contained (pun intended) and not grow into my new room. Last year we downsized from a house to an apartment and I lost my craft area and I don't want to deal with that again.
