Default Organizing craft supplies

How do you effectively organize your craft supplies? Mine are everywhere. Do you organize them by project? By type? I am at a loss as to how to do it and it still be user friendly.

The only craft I'm really involved in is sewing for my house. We have a mudroom which is kind of a multi-purpose area. I have one cabinet and a chest that I sit on where I can store my things.

I am all over the place, I tole paint, sew, paper crafts, wood working, wood burning, jewelery making and various other things. I have some in bags, but it is not easy to find stuff that way.

I only do crochet and I have a big basket for all the stuff I use, although there are some stuff that get waylaid sometimes. It is easier if they are kept in one place, with different containers, in your case.

I have a similar issue. I want to get see through containers so I can see what is in them and label them by project, that seems like the most logical thing to do.

I organize the materials in plastic boxes. Plus I always have a plastic box for the project or projects I am working at the moment.

I have various projects in various stages that I work on. What kind of plastic boxes do you got? Do they have lids or not?
