I can take the cabinet to the work table and have everything I need right at hand. I learned the art of make-do from my mother. I use them to reach inside, grab the edge, and turn by pulling out the tip of fingers, corners, and small things. Then grabbing small bits of stuffing, and placing it into those very small spaces. It is easier to turn small items by pulling them out, than by trying to push them through a small opening.
Clothes pins make great small clamps for crafting.
Make a funnel for pellets, sand, whatever you use to weight your crafts, by cutting the top out of a yogurt container or paper cup. Make a scoop out of another cup. Store pellets in plastic milk jugs. Easy to pour. Cover the closure with hat or hair, etc.
