5 Tips for Scrapbooking Space Organization
Your scrapbooking space may vary from a dedicated room to a corner of the dining room table, but how you have your supplies organized will make all the difference in making the most out of the your scrapping time.
- Have separate cups or storage containers for smaller supplies, pens, eyelets, adhesives, etc. and keep them there so they don’t get spread around your work surface, under the desk or lost in a drawer somewhere. Putting like objects together in a container frees up loads of work space too.
- Paper storage helps you find what you need, when you need it. Store this horizontally - either in racks or flat boxes (I’ve even heard a tip about using pizza boxes!), or in vertical files. By theme or by color - whichever works best for you.
- Make project pouches - as ideas come to mind, gather papers, photos and other things for layouts and keep them all together in one pouch. Then when you find yourself with 15 minutes (because sometimes that’s all the time we have) you can pull out a project pouch to create a quick layout!
- Have a place for your leftover scraps. Throw snippets of ribbon or floss into a baggie, or clear plastic container, and toss paper scraps into a flat box, or clear envelope to get a quick look at what you have.
- If you don’t need it, do not toss it - donate it, or better yet put it aside for the next crop you go to. One scrapper’s trash can be another scrapper’s treasure. LOL!
Be creative, scrapbooking space organization doesn’t have to be boring. You can use creative and crafty ways to consolidate your supplies, leaving you more time and space for scrapbooking.
