Team DIY Month of Storage: Tip of the Day

Written on January 6, 2010 at 3:13 pm, by Team DIY

Here at Team DIY, we love items that can be repurposed, reimagined, and reconfigured. Today’s storage tip: Use hanging sweater storage bags to sort and separate scrapbooking papers and cardstock. Pick up a few inexpensive plastic paper storage containers that fit snugly into the canvas shelves; they’ll help you keep colors, patterns, or projects separate. No more dinged paper edges or messy piles. How do you organize your scrapbooking and papercrafts supplies?
