I started my Storage Tip feature yesterday and I am excited to share my next favorite storage tip idea....VIEWTAINERS! Clear, plastic, inexpensive, and non-spillable. I used to keep my ribbons, buttons, etc. in glass mason jars and I learned all too quick that if you drop them (even on carpet) they can and WILL break!
I found Viewtainers and many storage solutions were solved!
Yes...this is my actual button (LOVE you Buttons Galore & More) drawer:
Also, all my travel art items are in Viewtainers:
Paint brushes (which also are handy to grab for travel):
Do not get me started on my flower storage! I have TONS of RIBBON and twine!
So needless to say it was no surprise when Creative Keepsakes featured them from my studio in Creative Spaces Vol. 2
Very proud to work with them and THEY ARE MADE IN THE USA!! WHOOP! Plus they are sponsoring my March Creative Dare and are offering 20% off with the code twstudios20 THIS MONTH at www.viewtainer.com! My Dad has them ALL OVER his workshop too!
Thank you so much for the emails asking for more pictures and storage tips. I always told my mom this OCD would be a good thing! Great when I can use it for good vs. evil. Stay tuned for more Studio Storage Tips!
"Happiness is a mindset that can only be designed into the present. It’s not a point in the future or a moment from the past; but sadly, this misconception hurts the masses. So many young people seem to think that happiness awaits them in the years ahead, while so many older people believe that their best moments are behind them. You need much less than you think you need to be happy, and you usually have a lot more than you think you have. There’s always something worth smiling about. It’s just a matter of thinking differently."
Great Tip #2, Tracy! Viewtainers can solve many storage "issues" in a craft space. Another that I have found is the "mini" alpha stamps...granted, you do have to sort through them for the letters you want when you dump them out, but, on the flip side, you never have to re-alphabetize them into those tiny little boxes again! Hadn't thought of storing loose ribbon in them, that's a great one, too! Thanks for getting us organized!

Glad you are enjoying the tips Kay! If there is one thing I know how to do it is keep things clean :)
