Tips & Tricks: Scraproom Edition
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2010 8:58 am
I have a few scraproom ideas for you today. I always think it's interesting to see what other people do for storage and organization in their scraprooms, so I thought I'd share a few of my ideas.
First, is this frame I put together. I got two of them a few months ago and had a few ideas for it before I finally ended up with this:
I painted the frame and chicken wire with spray paint, then staple-gunned it on the back. I used paper and Mod Podge to cover little clothes pins and now I have a sort of inspiration board where I can hang ideas, new products so they're easily seen and other random bits of goodness. Details of how I made it are on my blog, plus one I made into a chalkboard for Quinn.
Another item in my room is this old wooden pop crate. You can find these at antique stores or flea markets, or if you're lucky like me, in your MIL's basement.
This one has dividers and is perfect for holding my punches and mists. It just sits right out on top of my work area all of the time, so everything is easy to see and within reach.
Other organizational ideas I use are a Clip-It-Up (which I just got over the weekend and have to say that it's really quite genius), and an old library card catalog for holding just about everything else but my paper. I'll have to share a picture of that later- we're in the middle of a move & it's at the other house. If you can find one of those, though, I'm telling you to grab it! They are absolutely an organizational dream for scrapbooking!
Do you have any fun or functional scraproom ideas to share?
