Washi Tape Catalog & Sequin Storage

Just sharing a couple of random organizational projects. First up, I love how I store my washi, but I wanted a way to know what tapes I have without digging through the jar. I spotted this tag/binder ring idea on Pinterest and knew it would be perfect. This project took less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

Supplies - washi, tag punch, scrap white card stock, small hole punch, binder ring.


Results:


Love that I can keep this little tag ring next to my workspace and see what washi I have without pulling out the big jar.

The next project was a way to organize my sequin stash, which I am so lucky to have received most of for free from my mom. I did pick up a few rolls of sequin trim at Michaels in fun colors in the $1.50 bins, as well as a couple of packages at Hobby Lobby, but the rest my mom had in her stash and was happy to share.


This a Dollar Tree plastic tub with some of the plastic screw together bead jars that I have leftover from organizing my bead stash. (I have hundreds of these, maybe even a thousand, not kidding, Shannon can back me up!).

I also just wanted to share a recent purchase at Hobby Lobby:


This is metallic embroidery floss, and I am super excited to use this for hand stitching on my Project Life layouts. I'm pretty sure I've given up on my sewing machine and it'll go back to my mom. I prefer to hand stitch! :)

    I seriously thought/hoped I'd never see those little containers ever again! :-) But you win! This is a perfect use for them, and they look so pretty and organized!
    That washi organizer just kills me. It's so cute!
