Small embelishment storage

I like to have my small embelishments visible and handy so I don't forget I have them, I also like to be able to bring most of them to my work table where the projects are so I can try several so here's the way I store them


Inside small jars on a tray that sits on my cabinet. The tray was purcahsed at a home decor store, the containers are from the beading section at the craft store, they come in a pack of 12 inside a larger square box


Here's a close up of the tray.

Angela's Brad storage

Angela Tolleson's idea is simple but so effective for finding easily the right brad.

Angela used solid cardstock and just add brads as she gets them.

Sprinkling glitter

Shirley found this at Target and immediately thought of dispensing glitter out f it.

"I love keeping colorful supplies in view, they inspire me and this? Just makes me want to sprinkle something! :) "

Sh also use tictac's containers for these:

Brad storage

Megan Hoepner has over at Creating Keepsakes blog an entry on how she stores brads. Here it is.

Stamping Caz storage idea

In her own words:

Here are before and after shots of what these containers were used for and what they are now being used for. I ALWAYS buy these types of washing capsules as you get these fab containers. All the big stores do them, Morrisons has a funky orange lid, Tescos has a extra big one with a blue lid and Sainsburys is all clear. Simply tear off the labels and fill with pretties. I either cover with paper and I will label up once I am in my shed and I know what I want where, or leave clear to see what is inside. I have primas, buttons, brads, eyelets and more in mine. I currently have 12 of the normal sized ones and they stack up great.
