Knex 101: Christmas Storage Ideas

Well, the time has come to take down the lights, the tree, stocking, and other Christmas decorations. The trick? Storing everything efficiently so that it doesn't take hours upon hours to untangle lights and tinsel when you bring your Christmas stuff out again in November (or whenever it is that you decorate for Christmas ;) ). My helpful Christmas storage item this year? Why, Knex of course!

It doesn't take a lot of parts, but it keeps thing so neat and tidy!

  

These are stocking holders I made from old tissue boxes, rice to weigh it down, and grey K'nex rods.

Knex Bag Holder

Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I didn't post much around the holidays, but life was busy. I am sure all of you can understand that. Somehow, December is just way busier than other times of the year, it seems.

So now I am trying to get back into doing builds regularly. My first build of the year was a small shelter for an outdoor stray cat in our neighborhood. However, I haven't been able to get pictures of it yet, but he rather enjoys it. Tonight, I built a bag holder. I got the idea from a Christmas gift that I gave my oldest sister. It was supposed to serve as "extra hands" in the kitchen when it came to bagging food. Nifty idea, I must admit. So tonight, I made a bag holder out of K'nex. It holds gallon-size storage or freezer bags. I am sure it could be downsized to hold smaller bags, too!

Let me know if you have any ideas about what I can make for my next build! Thanks for following my blog!
