How Do I Store My Scrapbooking Materials? Part 1 at Home & Family ...

If you?re into scrapbooking, you?ll know just how easy it is to gather a massive collection of materials and tools in a short period of time.

With so much stuff floating around, its important to keep it all neat and stored properly, or you run the chance of your desk becoming overloaded and running out of space to work.

This occurred to me in the middle of a high school scrapbook and I said ?enough is enough!? and did a total overhaul of my workspace.

To give you one or two ideas, I have compiled a listing of things I use to organise and store my scrapbooking materials.

Trays

Trays are one of the core basics or my storage area. There?s a bunch of things you are able to use trays for, but almost all of my trays are filled with different kinds of paper and card. The trays are then sorted into racks which have similar colors and designs.

But there?s not just paper in these, I have found trays are also useful for holding my collection of stamps and virtually anything else that comes in a set. You could also use this for punches and markers as well , but I personally store these in?

Pencil Holders

Holders, cups, whatever you call them, you know what they are. Chances are that you had one of those in school. That?s no excuse for you not to have one (or even more) of these in your collection.

Its really the simplest and cleanest way to store your pens, pencils and markers. The other great thing about these is that its really easy just to take and put back your pens when you need them.

Bottles

These are the ideal way to store any difficult or numerous tiny items. I use bottles and jars to store things like push pins, paper clips and also if I am punching out a number of small shapes.

The other brilliant idea I had was to clean out and keep any old glue bottles. I then filled these with glitter and coloured sand, and each time I need it, I?m able to just pop off the lid and give it a little squeeze. No more mess, spills or glitter going everywhere.

In the following article, we?ll be having a look at some more storage items as well as some of the more ?big picture ? ways of storing things as well!
