To start, once I first got all of my embellishments organized, I now try to be proactive with my organization. As soon as I bring home a new embellishment, I put it in one of my containers and label it. If you have clear containers, you may not have to label each one but I find it easier to read the labels and quickly pick what I need for my projects instead of guessing what’s inside.
The first organizer I want to share is the Embellishment Tote from Crop In Style's Studio Line. This is a handy tote that can be folded and travel with you anywhere. The Embellishment Tote features:
• Easy Grip Handle
• Simple, Compact Fold Design
• Removable Bead Storage Wrap
• Felt Embellishment Surface
• 1 clear gusseted storage zipper pocket
• 16 in. built in ruler
• Perfect for travel or at home
Next is the Sortables Scrapbook Storage from Making Memories. You know those twenty different brads I told you about? This organizer fits them perfectly. It is divided into 18 clear compartments and made of heavy duty clear plastic with two secure sliding clasps so your supplies stay organized and ready to use. The dividers span across the bottom to the lid so even if it is tipped upside down, your embellishments stay organized. So, with two of these I can expand my brad collection to 36 and only have to organize it once!
The last one I want to show you is the Embellishment Essentials Organizer from The Cropper Hopper. This double-sided, hard case organizer comes in a medium and large size (guess which one I’d pick) with lots of space to hold all of your goodies. One side has 30 compartments that can be used alone or with up to 90 Mini Boxes or Fiber Cards. It is even deep enough to hold spools of ribbon and 3-dimensional stickers. Side two is designed to hold tools, rub-ons, paper (up to 9” x 9” size) and more.
Also featured in the Embellishment Essentials Collection are:
• Ribbon Cards
• Fiber Cards
• Large Square Boxes,
• Rectangle Boxes,
• Mini Boxes
• Tiny Boxes
• All available in purple and clear
