I love organization and am a sucker for anything that helps me
organize better. So, I use a tackle box like thing for my henna.
It's an Art Bin, designed for art supplies and it was about $12 at
the local art store. It is about 14 inches long, 5-6 inches wide and
8 inches deep. It has a main compartment and a tray with removable
compartments that folds out. The bottom part is for big stuff like
my supply of henna powder, my mortar and pestle, scissors, tape,
candles etc. The top tray holds my bottles of henna paste,
toothpicks, metal nibs, alcohol pads etc. I love my little case...I
feel like a doctor making house calls with it. Paging Dr. Henna...we
need 20 cc's of lemon juice stat!
