Friday's Tip of the Day

Since I have been spending time moving, putting away and organizing my new scrap space I thought I would share an organizing tip today.

I like to organize my smaller embellishments like brads, clips, eyelets, fibers, pieces of ribbon, etc. in little ziploc baggies. A lot of embellies from my lss come this way already so this part is usually done for me, for all the others that aren't in baggies I picked up a bag of these little ziploc bags at Walmart in the craft section by the jewelry making stuff. I punch a hole in the top of them then put a group of them onto a binder ring. I then clip the binder rings to this fancy little display piece my wonderful dh got me from his work and voila, here's my embellishment storage. The best part I like about storing my embellies this way is when I'm heading to a crop I can just grab whatever rings I want and throw them in with all my crop stuff.

Now, I know none of you have a fancy display piece like I do :) so you could try what I had before I moved to my new scrap space. I just ran a curtain tension rod below a shelf and clipped everything onto there. I like being able to see everything I have so this worked really well for me. If you're torn on what to do with all your little embellies, give this a try. Oh and it's fairly inexpensive too!

I wanted to get some pics to post along with this tip but I didn't get a chance to do that, if I get some though I will get them posted on here.
