My favorite organizers for my mixed media supplies are recycled tin cans. Larger supplies/tools go in 1 litre containers.
I love the stacking plastic drawers.
I have one set for stamps and supplies,one for paints and mediums and one drawer just for stuff I think I might use in a project someday.
Actually,that one has become two drawers now.
Baby food jars!
They aren’t huge, but they have those nice, tight-fitting lids and you can see what’s inside.
(To my blogging friends who just gulped deeply, I feed my aging cat baby food.)
Those cans look too neatly placed! I’ve got five cans, three jars (two have candy in them-that’s a necessary tool isn’t it?), a mug and a decorative tin all filled with various pencils.
Garage small-parts storage drawers are a favorite for holding beads, stamps, toothpicks, Q-tips and what-have-you.
The baby food jars I have fit into rubbermaid drawers and sort more beads.
I use the computer to store patterns (downloaded) and e-zines.
And, I am learning how to keep track of my projects and ideas better in a notebook!
I love the empty 16 oz plastic salad containers. They kind of look like clear shoeboxes. They stack really nicely and I can see everything that’s in them. Oh yeah, they’re free too!
You guys are full of great ideas!!
