It's still early in the new year, and I've been trying to re-organize my craft area. Let's face it, we all see a deal to good to pass up, and then we usually buy it, pack it away and forget we have the stuff. Since we're not looking at it, you forget you have it, and then you won't put it to use. Or, you wind up buying it again. So to kick off this year right, I figured I'd share with you how I am organizing some of my craft supplies and tools.
CRAFT PUNCH STORAGE
Part of today's post it about storing my craft punches. I don't have a lot and, the majority was from watching HSN and signing up for auto ship. I decided to use the Recollection Memory Boxes, and some of the storage boxes from Ikea. I've also made some tags that I can keep next to my craft desk to pull out for review when working on a project. That way I know what I have and can locate it quickly to use if it fits the project I'm working on.
Check out the video below to get a quick overview.
STAMP STORAGE:
Stamps are one of those things that can quickly multiply. You know,they get you as you are standing online in the craft stores. Those dollars bins should really be outlawed. Or better yet, you are just looking and you find them on clearance, or at a scrapbook conference/expo where they are selling them cheap. You can't resist, because it has the one phrase or image in the exact font or design you've wanted. Now that you have them all, where are you going to put them?
Well I've trolled YouTube and read other blogs. I've gone through several different approaches and have settle on plastic storage bins for the woodblock stamps and binders for the cling or acrylic stamps. At least for now.
Check out the video below to get an overview on what I use and how they get stored.
I'm working on how to organize my digital stamps, which is mostly comprising of a spreadsheet that can be placed in my binders. When I have that one figured out I'll let you guys know.
HAPPY ORGANIZING
