Hello crafters, unfortunately Dollar Tree has restocked the crates but on a smaller size. The regular ink pads will fit but not the square sizes from Tim Holtz. If you are planning to make one tower I highly recommend you to take an ink pad with you to check on the size of the crate and make sure it fits in there. Happy crafting!
@7WordsWorth2 жыл бұрын
I ordered from your link and the Distress square pads didn't fit. Now I'm frustrated. But I do love your project. I am determined to find these crates somewhere. Thanks for sharing this amazing storage tower. It's exactly what I need!
@levoniahughes45132 жыл бұрын
Oh, Christy! I just found this out! I had ordered the crates from DT several months ago, but didn't have time until today to make the tower. I wondered why the circle bases were so much larger than yours. I just now tried to load my Tim Holtz inks...grrrrr!!! They didn't fit. I am so disappointed (and tired). But I have to share my unusable tower...lol.

BRILLIANT!!!! I cannot get over this. What a fabulous idea. As someone else already mentioned, there is thinking out of the box and then there is this!!! Everything from the clothes pins, to the signs turning into a lazy Susan. WOWZERS!!!!! My favourite part was when you used the paper punches as your weights... true sign of a crafter!!!! Your demo and instructions were also very very good. Thank you for sharing this and to your friend who came up with the idea.
