i’ve shared 2 other ways in which i have used this type of organizer in our home – 1 for organizing my jewelry and 1 for creating a hair accessory organizer for our daughter. i love these organizers! our grocery store (of all places) was selling this for only $2.59…
and when i found it, i knew exactly how i would use this = to organize ALL of those tiny embellishments.
so, this weekend i gathered up my items…
including the contents of the small plastic organizer…(i told you – look at how much stuff was crammed into that plastic organizer!)…
i freely admit here – i went to my happy place; sorting, organizing, and filling in all of those tiny pockets….
in addition to organizing those tiny pieces, i needed a spot where my misc decorations could be easily located. i love to keep cute greeting cards to use as chipboard art in my scrapbooks. do you do the same? here are some cute cards, for example…
i love cutting the cute parts off of greeting cards to use them in various spots of a scrapbook. super cute! but i needed a place to keep them within reach. i grabbed a pair of manicure scissors…
and cut the tiny string out of one pocket on the bottom. this turned 2 small pockets into 1 large pocket…
giving the cards a place to go…
then i sorted all of those tiny pieces into piles…hearts…
circles of various sizes…
squares…
sea and ocean life…
stars…
cute words…
and other misc decorations like crayons, owls, flip flops and more…
once i had everything separated into groups, i began placed them inside the pockets.
and here is the final product – side one….
and side two…
can you believe i filled this entire hanging organizer with the contents of that one little plastic organizer??!!
because this organizer is intended for hanging, it works perfectly hanging from the shelf beside my scrapbooking table…
i also decided to hang the other 2 packages from their attached rings…
now there are no excuses not to use these cute embellishments. it is all accessible…the pieces i organized this weekend as well as my scrapbook stickers…
if you’ve been challenged with trying to organize your own scrapbook items, i hope this organizational tip will help you. it’s definitely given me motivation to finish up and start some new scrapbooks! 🙂
Feels really great doesnt it?? I treally is the little things that make our days a little happier!!
so soooo true!!!
