Want some more organization in your scrapbooking?

by Jessica P

We all love to scrapbook, but as time goes on we collect more and more supplies and don't have a place to put them. Your worries are over because today we are going to make our own scrapbooking organizer.

Soon you will be able to keep all those fun supplies and materials in one place.

What you will need:

- A medium sized shelf that you can devote entirely to your scrapbooking. (You can find this at a home decorating store or an office supply store.)

- Four or five paper racks. These are the racks that you can put your documents in without folding them.

- Pick up some sturdy bins or baskets that can fit on your shelf.

- Polaroid camera.

- Permanent markers.

- Some freezer bags to keep the beads, stickers and other supplies in.

- Hot glue gun.

Now it is time to put it all together:

1. The first thing you will want to do is find a great place in your home to keep your scrapbooking organizer shelf at. Some great ideas are your home office, the basement, (providing that it's waterproofed and not damp or wet) or your storage room.

2. Set up your shelf in it's designated area, then get all of your other supplies ready in a good working location. Be sure to have your scrapbooking supplies available as well.

3. Designate a bin or basket to each item you wish it to hold. For example, if you have 5 bins, use one for markers, pens, glue sticks, crayons, paints, and stamps. Create a bin for every category of supplies. You can use another bin for ribbons, lace, leather, paper flowers, and things like this.

Your last bin should be named miscellaneous for things that don't really go in any of the other bins.

4. Now, assemble every item that will be placed in one particular scrapbooking organizer bin. Use the Polaroid camera to take a picture of the supplies. Hot glue your picture to the front of the bin or basket carefully. You can also write on the bin with your markers if you wish.

5. Gather your different papers and place them in the scrapbooking organizer paper racks. This will ensure that you are able to find a particular type of paper quickly for projects.

6. Now simply place the bins up on the shelf and you are ready to go. Voila!

Get some supplies to organize in your bins from Discount Scrapbooking. They have discounts on everything from scrapbook kits to scrapbook albums.
