Steps to Create the Small Ruler Storage System.

Steps:

A. Start with an expandable file folder, as seen in the picture above. This expandable folder is convenient because it's lightweight, has cut-out handles for carrying, and includes colorful dividers. The file folder fits in an IKEA Kallax unit, although I keep mine on the counter by the cutting mat.

B. Next, count out thirteen Job Ticket Holders, 9" x 12", to label and place in each slot. (I have used these holders for years - storing cardstock, organizing Paper Pumpkin kits, organizing stickers, etc.)

Tips on Labeling:

A. Using my label maker, I have a code to print and attach labels to the top of the Job Ticket Holders. (My label maker is no longer available, so I have linked to an updated version.)

B. The first two letters are an abbreviation of the company or manufacturer of the ruler.

C. Next, I write the generic name of the ruler.

D. In the picture, the first label is "BL: Flying Geese," which stands for Bloc_Loc, Flying Geese. Numbering or using color-coordinating stickers on the labels will assist in returning the holders to the correct slots.

Creative Grid: Spider Web

E. All instructions for using the ruler are placed inside the Job Ticket Holder along with the corresponding ruler.

Storing Rulers in Mesh Bags

If you prefer to store your rulers in an IKEA Kallax System, the zippered mesh bags are a great idea! The inside measurement is 12.5" x 8.75".

Have fun organizing your smaller rulers!

Let's Start Organizing!

Set your timer for thirty minutes, turn on your favorite tunes, and start cleaning the most used paper crafting tools. Microfiber towels are my first choice for dusting and cleaning. However, I have switched from single-layer microfiber towels purchased in bulk to super absorbent coral velvet microfiber to wipe down my stamps when they need deeper cleaning. Why? The thickness of the towels minimizes lint!  

For everyday stamp cleaning, I prefer the Stampin' Up! Simply Shammy. To prepare the Shammy, soak it in water until soft, wring out the excess water, and it is ready to clean your stamps by gently wiping the stamp to remove excess ink. The Standard Stamp Cases work well to store the Shammy. 

On to cleaning the Clear Blocks. What's my tip? Wash the blocks in warm, soapy water - the original Dawn is my dish soap of choice. If the blocks still have some residue, Purell Hand Sanitizer on the microfiber towels tends to clean up the blocks. 

Once my supplies are clean, I sort them into "like" categories. Some examples are grid paper, blocks, cutting tools, trimmers, and embellishments. In the picture below, I have sorted my card-making tools into IKEA containers stored in an ALEX drawer unit near my crafting table. Handy! 

Part 3 in Organizing Your Craft Space will focus on additional drawer storage tips. Stay tuned!

Boost Your Creativity with These Organizing Tips

1. Start Small with Labels

My Mom told me that my Christmas lists included a label maker when I was in elementary school. I loved my blue gift that when the circle was turned and landed on a letter, I only had to squeeze the handle to see a white letter molded into the plastic tape. I remember gathering a bunch of shoeboxes, putting my toys inside, creating labels, and setting them on a bookshelf in my closet. Today, my order of replacement labels arrived along with QR Codes for my totes - in over 60 years, this trait hasn't changed. Except - my toys have turned into crafting supplies! 

Previously, I mentioned that my desire to "make something" hadn't been high on my list, so I decided it was time to start small, and labeling was my goal.

Uses Numbers, Names, or QR Codes to Label & Locate Supplies

The QR coding system has been a lifesaver for my UFO projects. While looking for a project, I type in a name or number on my cell phone to quickly locate my next craft project. 

Our family has started using the QR Codes to sort and label holiday decorations in storage, boxes on shelves in the garage, and totes with clothing. Love the convenience!

2. Consider a Storage Makeover for Space Saving Ideas:

I recently updated my ink pad storage to the Stamp-n-Storage Carousel, and the well-made wooden product saves much space in the cottage.
