Savvy Storage 10/14/2009
 
I like to find ways to display my supplies so that they blend into my décor. Here are a few ideas on ways you can spice up your storage.
  • Find an old deep metal tool box and paint it a fun color. Hang some file folders inside and you can put all kinds of supplies in the folders. I use my funky teal-colored metal box to hold fabric swatches, stencils, paper samples, and anything else crafty that is flat. This is a fun and organized way for me to keep all my “stuff” in one place and add a splash of color to my creative corner.
  • An old frame makes a great ribbon holder! I took this frame and painted it. Then, I strung several rows of jute along the back and stapled them to the frame, pulling the jute taut. Voila! You’ve got an cute, functional piece to hang your ribbon on. Consider using dowel rods instead of jute for a more firm structure to hang things from.
  • It’s amazing what an aluminum colander placed on top of an aluminum lazy Susan can do! I found a colander with three feet that fit perfectly in the middle of a lazy Susan and it holds all my stamping ink pads, beads, wires and other small crafty things. All I have to do is turn the lazy Susan for easy access to whatever I need.
