Storage Solutions- Take One

Now for something a little different. In the next few weeks I'll be switching my son William's room and my craft room. My craft room is the biggest bedroom in the house (not including the master). It's also the messiest room in the house by far. I'm embarrassed to show you how ridiculously disastrous it is. I haven't had anything to organize with so I just have piles. My fabric pile, paper piecing pile, paper crafts pile, etc. It's not pretty. So as I'm moving I'll be doing some major organizing. Here is the first of my organization solutions.

I love making cards especially stamped cards colored with Copics. I haven't been happy with my Copic set up. I outgrew the flimsy 72 markers limit of my previous holder pretty quickly and then started using the lid to hold the excess. The papers and ziploc bags in there are holding the markers up. It's also a pain to put them all back in order.

If you remember back I really wanted something like this gorgeous caddy but it wasn't in the budget. I was at the thrift store this week and saw this 7up crate. I picked it up for a dollar, added some empty jars I've stored in the basement, and filled them with my lovely Copics. It has handles on the side so I can take them all with me or just one color group in a jar. Plus there is room to grow. Bonus! :)
