My Favorite Way to Organize Ribbon - Storage Solution

Okay I think I have found my favorite, so far, way of organizing my ribbon. I am a very visual person and hate hunting around for stuff and I will forget what I have if I am not looking at it often. Most of my supplies are in plastic bins or another favorite of mine - clear shoe hangers.

All I did was put the ribbon onto a pants hanger. That is it! I plan on buying a few more of these for all of my ribbon. Next time I will take a moment to take the ribbon off of the spool and loop it over because I hate having to take off the spools. Plus, I will be able to put more ribbon on the hangers as the bars on this particular hanger is rather narrow.

Ideas To Reuse, Recycle Suitcases For Craft Storage

Old, vintage suitcases are beautiful and can be a great idea for craft storage. Especially if you don't have a lot of space as I do in my apartment. I found some awesome faux crocodile? silver suitcases in a discount store and love the fact that I can leave them out in the open. I use them to store my spools of ribbon (of which I have too many lol)

Here are some other cool examples of how you can turn a suitcase into storage:

Inexpensive Sticker Storage - Craft Room Organization Tip

Just like any crafter, I am always on the look out for ways to store my craft supplies but still keep them handy (I hate having to dig for stuff). I have always wanted to have a peg board type system for my stickers but have never gotten around to purchasing one.

Recently, I was walking around my local Family Dollar store and came across these hooks from 3M and had an ah-ha moment. They will be perfect for holding stickers and easily removable - great since I am currently renting. I am mainly going to use them to hold the stickers and other light weight supplies for the projects that I am currently working on.

Here are a few other great tips that I saw around the web. Also make sure to check out my Craft Organization Board on my Pinterest page.

1) Hanging from a shower curtain rod. Genius!!

2) This system uses S-Curtain hooks and hangs them from a wire basket. I was thinking of doing this to hang items from the wire shelves in my craft room.

3) Another version of the curtain rod, except this is a circular towel bar. Very pretty. Think how several of these would look on the wall holding stickers, scissors, etc. Would almost be like art.

4) Hanging wire baskets that are normally used to hold file folders or other office supplies. Make sure to check out the source link for more great ideas from the Creating Keepsakes Blog page.

Organizing Your Scrapbooking Stickers

I just had an a-ha moment (as Oprah would say). I was browsing the Internet on goodhousekeeping.com and came across the very simple and inexpensive way that I am now going to start storing my scrapbooking stickers. 

I don't have a lot of space now so a peg board with hooks was out of the question. I had tried putting them in sticker holders but that was too cumbersome (I hate digging through things). But the idea above was so easy!

I am off to Wal-Mart tomorrow to get me some 3 ring binders. I have some cute fabric from Hobby Lobby that I am going to cover it with (will post that project at a later date) and I am going to get subject dividers so that I can just flip through the notebook to find what I want.

I will probably put a little tape along the top of the stickers when putting them in the page protectors so that they stay in place and I can see at a glance what is in each protector without them crowding behind each other. Can't wait to get started on this!
