Since the Online Crop event is coming up this Friday, I devoted my long weekend to organizing and purging my craft supplies...
-----------------------------------------
I will never get any work done if I skipped this task! It'll be time-consuming for me to look for my tools... Check out the "before photo" -- my craft space looks overwhelming. I guess this explains why I haven't been making cards & scrapping (traditionally) for a long time. You might be wondering why I collect empty toilet paper rolls... Scroll down to the bottom of this post to see what those rolls are for!
AFTER: Now I'm ready for the Online Crop! All of my scraps are neatly filed, I don't have to rummage through a bunch of trash to find the materials that I need.
See how I organized each area:
-----------------------------------------
TOOLS
• Purchased magazine racks and used them as "vertical drawers" to save space
• Grouped like items together and made labels for each container: paper, coloring materials, decorative scissors & glue, punchers & embossers
-----------------------------------------
SCRAPS COLLECTION
BEFORE: Items fall off every time I open the cabinet doors!
AFTER: The paper bags and Kleenex boxes are taking up too much space, so I cut them into pieces and filed them in my 3-ring binders.
-----------------------------------------
EMBELLISHMENTS
Stored them in a clear book for easier browsing

MY "JUNK" DRAWERS
I usually dump my things into these drawers when I'm lazy to put them back into their respective areas..
AFTER: Designated the left drawer for my newly-bought 12x12" cardstock and 6x6" paper stacks... This will keep them free of creases. I reused a Ferrero Rocher box for storing note cards, post-its, memo pads and envelopes. The second drawer is for office supplies. Let's see how long this stays organized!

GIFT WRAP
I used the toilet tubes as gift wrap holders.. Got this great idea from Pinterest :)
