Get Organized: Paint, Glitter, & Stickles

Oh My! Simple solutions for storing these art mediums.

kels how do I locate the full weeks content or even better the whole class???
I wanted to print it but went back and now i cannot find it!
thanks,
mg

Mindy, I'm not Kels, but check the bottom of any of your class e-mails. There's a link for downloading the whole course. If you then save it to your computer, you can access it any time.

I already have mine stored in a good location for me. I don't have very many of any of these items so this week is so not going to make me work...

Free week for me as I don't have any of these items!

Thanks for helping Red Squirrel, I've been out-of-town.

How's everyone doing?

You can do this!! Please keep moving forward even if you get discouraged. We're more than half-way through and the results are worth it.

For some reason when I got to this point of the challenge my life felt like it was falling apart. I had too many ideas and not enough time to implement them and I felt overwhelmed. My family kept telling they could see the changes amid the chaos which was so helpful. Can you take a step back and see changes?

I honor you, your ideas and decisions! You go girls! (and guys).

You're welcome Jill. I love how everyone here helps out.

Another free week for me. My Stickles are very happy, well-organised, well-used and loved Stickles, my paint gets used rarely but is accessible and organised. I have no glitter. Yes, you read that correctly - NO GLITTER.

No glitter here. Only a few Stickles and Liquid Pearls.

It's the growing collection of Distress paints and stains that are a problem right now. CD or DVD storage boxes are probably the answer.

This is also a free week for me. I love my stickles storage. I made these little holders and they are in a drawer. Since they are upside down it's very easy to see the color. I store my glitter upside down as well, although I have very few of them.

I own (sadly) a few stickles and like say 7 glitters so I think I am good to go the way I am !FREE WEEK!!

Cool ideas here organizers. Have you seen the new Art Bin case for Stickles. Take a look... here!

I love that Jill. I am limited on space though, so my Stickles are about as compact as it is possible to be. Think honeycomb!

Paints are laying sideways in a big plastic drawer in my closet.

Glitter (I only have a few tubes of this - not any geared to scrapbooking really) are in another of these drawers with miscellaneous crafting supplies.

But I still need to get my Stickles put onto a shelf that I have yet to put onto my wall. I need to figure what my DH did with the drill bits (my plaster walls will require screws to hold up the shelf). Don't know when I will get this done since it has been in the works for ages. My plan is to also steal the idea of using pipe coupling pieces so they remain upside down. The extra neat part about the pipe couplings is that I can then select a few colors and move them to my desk when I am working and they remain ready to use.

Stickles Storage By Terrihooper

In the meantime, I am storing them in my office desk drawer in a slotted wooden box and inside pill bottles that keep them upside down. The pill bottles work really well for crop transport but I thinking that the pipe couplings lined up in the right little box or bin could work well too.

OH... I took a closer look at Vae's storage and realized that PVC pipe is also being utilized.

Love, love, love glitter! Never thought I would say that. I use a small amount on most layouts. Little highlight on a patterned paper, on a brad in a flower center, tiny bit of glitter on water in a photo..
The upside-down idea is great for the Stickles.
You bought PVC pipe to do that? I hope we can buy it by the foot and not by the bathtub length. Eeps.
Oh, pill bottles. Good idea.

Again, only a hand full of stickles, and a smallish storage container (minus the lid) that is used as a portable drawer for my misters and those small bottles of acrylic paint.
All glitter fits in the shallow metal drawer along with the stickles, 3d paint (sribbles), jars of UTEE, micro beads, bottles of iridescent ink, smooch, embossing paste, and various other art mediums like flocking and crackle paint.

The PVC connectors are the perfect. They need no cutting. And they cost only a few cents a piece... 20 to 40 maybe.

I have the same couplings for my stickles. I got a bag of 15 for about $1.30 at Home Depot. I think they were 3/4" in diameter. If I were to get them again, I would get the 1" just so they sit a little lower in the opening and I could stack the bottles. Just a thought.
