Doing some spring cleaning
including my craft room
wondering what is your best tip
for keeping your pattern paper scraps
under control?
Right now mine are all in a big bin
not sorted at all :(
looking for some inspiration to get them
under control....
I keep mine in file folders color coded: red, blue, green, etc. Then when I need a color I grab the folder for that color and see if anything in there will work. I also have one for patterned paper that doesn't have an overall color theme but I usually try to just cut extra borders out of it to use on future layouts with that type of paper. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, considering the name of your blog! I keep my scraps separated by color. They are in regular file folders. I always check there first when making projects before cutting into full sheets of paper. They are in rainbow order, of course!!

I keep mine in hanging file folders separated by color too
ReplyDeleteI cut all my paper scraps down to a card base size and store them in a small shoe box! Carri~Abusybee

I keep my patterned paper scraps with the paper pad, in a small baggie or envelope at the front or back of the pad. That way I don't have to go hunting them down. My solid paper scraps are sorted by colour and I keep those in a drawer.
ReplyDeleteI store my scrap carstock in Ziploc bags with the regular same color in 12" x 12" plastic containers that I bought ar Michaels.

I keep mine with the pad they came out of. If they are solid and larger than 2 X2, I keep them in file folders and file them from light to dark. Happy Easter Karen
ReplyDeleteGreat question. I have a dresser in my room-in the top drwer I put all of the cool color scraps, the bottom has warm colors. It is right behind my desk, so I can turn and grab what I need.
