Happy Friday everyone. I am fighting allergies today so I am a bit slow and quite frightfully pale! Good thing I won't be sharing any pictures of me today. LOL! :) Anyway, I wanted to share two other ways I store buttons and Dew Drops. I have so many buttons that I really keep them in three different storage units. Now that's pitiful!
First, let's look at my cheaper storage. I know most of you probably have those awesome Maya Road tins around. Grab one or two! They are perfect for buttons (and many other things). I keep all of my Creative Cafe buttons in two of these tins. I keep the pastels in one tin, and the darker colors in the second tin. I label the top with my labeler, and there you go!
Now this next wonderful unit is available at Wal-Mart for $19. I saw the idea on one of Leah Fung's wonderful videos. It does come full of spices and has labels on top of each jar. I just took off the labels, saved some of the spices (yes, I dumped some), and then ran them through the dishwasher. Perfect!
Then I filled the jars with Dew Drops and buttons, added a little ribbon fun, and there you have it! So cute!
Now, because I do keep my products separated by manufacturer, here are pictures of the tags I either put inside the jar or on the bottom of each jar. It works perfectly for me.
I hope one of these storage options might work for you! Have fun, and as always--happy organizing!
