Creative Options® craft storage products offer a fashionable, affordable tote for any craft activity, and are available in a variety of popular prints.

Scrapbooking:

Featuring a removable center wall for diverse storage options, a zippered take-away pouch, elastic loops and pockets for pens or tools, it’s perfect for storing scissors, stamps, punches, tape, cards and much more. The vinyl take-away pouch and detachable center make it “tote-ally” versatile.

Its spacious pink interior has French memo-board-style elastics in the lid and a zippered take away pouch that perfectly protects loose odds and ends.

Knitting:

Ample pockets keep knitting items separate and a top zipper opens to a larger pocket that lines the entire bag.

General Crafting/Multi-Purpose: (shown below)

Large Signature 5-Pocket Tote MSRP $49.99 – Nominated for the 2015 The Craft & Hobby Association Hot Product Award! This multipurpose bag is everything! It features five exterior pockets, elastic bands that hold crafting tools and knitting essentials, alongside a wide-open inner compartment. A versatile carryall, it’s perfect for holding skeins or yarn, art projects and notebooks—everything you need to stay organized at home and on the go. Made of easy-to-clean, durable polyester, it coordinates with other “Andee Cool” Creative Options® soft fabric and molded organizers.

My Thoughts: I am a big time crafter...hence why I have a 6 year old crafting blog! For this review I received the Creative Options® Signature 5 Pocket Knitting Tote to check out for all of you. I admit, I am not into knitting but I am heavily into scrapbooking, crochet and general crafting. Matter of fact, I belong to several craft groups here in my area and I'm always looking for totes & organizers so I can take my supplies and projects with me!

The Creative Options® Signature 5 Pocket Knitting Tote is absolutely fantastic! The outside of the bag has 3 large front pockets and a mesh netting pocket on each of the short sides. To make the bag easy to tote around...there are 2 carrying handles which are securely fastened to the bag. Underneath the bag is 4 plastic feet which help it to remain upright when you set it down. Also on the front of the bag right above the left front pocket are 4 elastic strap bands where you can store pens, markers, glue pens, knitting needles, crochet hooks or other slender-style items.

The inside of this tote bag is beautifully lined in a contrasting fabric so that you can easily find what you are looking for. You can stack a lot of your craft supplies inside the bag and trust me, it really holds a lot! It's big enough to hold containers of your little, itty-bitty supplies and big enough to hold full skeins of yarns. You can really load it up with your craft or knitting supplies.

One of the things I love about the tote is it's fabrication. It's very durable, but yet very light-weight. You don't feel like you are toting around a bunch of heavy bricks. Second, I accidentally spilled something on the outside of the bag and it completely beaded-up and wiped off. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this tote and would love to have several more! It's fabulous and would make a great gift this holiday season!

You do so many different crafts in addition to your jobs and blogs. I wonder how you find the time. I really like the Large signature 5 pocket tote, but all of the designs are stylish.
