Organization is the best way to keep things in line when dabbling with scrapbooking. Especially if you scrapbook as much as I do. If you don’t keep things neat and organized with all the little items it takes to create a beautiful scrapbook page, you will lose items and or forget you even have them. Here are some tips I found that can help you to successfully organize your scrapbooking supplies.
Ways you can organize your scrapbook paper
- Sort papers by color. The use of folders can come in handy.
- You can also sort your folders by color in an accordion style folder keeper.
Organizing ribbons
- Using a shoe box to store ribbons in may help.
- Keep your scrap ribbons sorted by colors, maybe by paperclipping them together.
- You can keep ribbon straight and organized by using a paper towel roll or other tissue rolls.
- Small toolbox organizer can also work great for keeping ribbons sorted.
Stickers and Stamps
- You can use picture boxes or shoe boxes to keep stamps sorted by themes. ( Christmas, Easter, etc.)
- Tupperware heavy duty organizers can also be very useful.
- You can put stickers in photo albums to sort them accordingly.
Scrapbook embellishments
- Try using a spice keeper to sort your smaller embellishments.
- Baby food jars or other very small jars also work well for this purpose.
- Larger ones can be stored in a stand up tool box.
Organizing scrapbooking tools
- This is another instance where a tupperware organizer can come in handy.
- You can use very large shoe boxes for storing tools.
- Over-the-door shoe organizers can help for storing markers, rulers, cutters, etc.
- The tools in which you use the most should be stored in mugs, baskets, or buckets.
- You can also use a workers pegboard to store light weight tools.
I hope these tips were able to help you organize some of your supplies or atleast sparked a thought as to how this huge obstacle can be accomplished. For more information on scrapbooking check out other blogs by Rene Uriegas.
