Easy do-it-yourself scrapbooking organizer
Scrapbooking is a lot of fun, but before we realize it we have piles and piles of materials that do not really have a place of their own.
Well now is time to get your scrapbooking organized by making your own scrapbooking organizer.
Now we will have a place to keep the paper, glue, stickers, embellishments, scissors, ribbon, tape and everything else we use in one place.
What you will need: /b>
- A medium sized shelf that we can devote entirely to your scrapbooking. (You can find this at a home decorating store or an office supply store.
- 4 or 5 paper racks. The ones that lay down and hold your documents or paper flat without folding. (You can find these at office supply stores.
- Several medium sized bins or baskets that'll fit perfectly on your shelf. (You should be able to find these at any home design store, or office supplies store.
- Polaroid camera.
- Permanent markers.
- Small Ziploc bags for stickers, beads, etc.
- Hot glue gun.
How to set it up: /b>
1. The first thing we will want to do is find a great place in your home to keep your scrapbooking organizer shelf at. Some great ideas are your home office, basement, (providing that it's waterproofed and not damp or wet) or your storage room.
2. Set up your shelf in it's designated area, then get all of your other supplies ready in a good working location. Be sure to have your scrapbooking supplies available as well.
3. esignate a bin or basket to each item we wish it to hold. For example, if we have 5 bins, use one for markers, pens, glue sticks, crayons, paints, and stamps.
Include other things that are along these lines. We can use another bin for ribbons, lace, leather, paper flowers, and things like this.
Another one can be designated to stickers, special sticky design items, rub-ons and things like this. We can use another bin for things like metal embellishments, cheap jewelry that we will take apart and use for embellishments, beads, and other things of this nature. The last bin can be used for miscellaneous supplies that do not fit into the other categories.
4. Now, assemble every item that will be placed in one particular scrapbooking organizer bin. Take a picture of these items with your Polaroid camera.
Hot glue your picture to the front of bin or basket carefully. We can also write on bin with your markers if we wish.
5. Gather your different papers and place them in the scrapbooking organizer paper racks. This will ensure that you are able to find a particular type of paper quickly for projects.
6. ow, place your scrapbooking organizer bins and paper racks on your shelf where we wish them to be. Voila!
