The problem is small scraps fall to the bottom and are hard to find. Also, patterned paper is a whole other problem. I have those all in a drawer and they're a mess. I've found some ideas online that look interesting and I want to share them with you.
Isn't this scrap box cute? Patter at Triple the Scraps blog embellished this storage box that houses hanging folders. I think it's adorable. This could be nice and portable.
On the Paper Crafts Connection blog, she's shown a great way to store scraps. I love the idea of making little file folders! They're just precious! And, of course, the pink bins are delicious!
I like both of these ideas, and I can see some pros and cons to both. Now....I'd love your input. How do you store scraps - both solid and patterned paper? Remember - I craft in a tiny corner of my living room, so I have very limited space. There are tons of ideas out there, but not many will fit in my space! Thanks for your help with this matter!
Blessings,

Great ideas! I use a file cabinet for my scraps. I sort them by color into the folders and I have an extra folder for the patterned paper to go in with the solids. That way I have the colors together, but seperated by folders.

I love your idea with the pink plastic boxes :)
ReplyDeleteRight now I store mine in a plastic container that came with
dividers, it's clear and seperated by color. Got it at Michaels!
