This how-to article will help give you a few ideas on how to organize your scrapbook supplies.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• scrapbook supplies
• money

1. If you have not spent the money yet- definitely invest in a scrapbook tote on wheels. There are a few brands available that range in price from $50-$100. Protecting your supplies and organizing them is well worth the money.

2. For your embellishments: Get a 12x12 3 ring binder and purchase a few different clear refill sleeves to display them in. Then organize them by season and occasion so everything is together.

3. Invest in 2 12x12 paper holders. This will keep the paper from bending and make it easier to find. Use one paper holder for solid papers and organize by color, use the second holder for printed papers and sort by season and theme.

4. For brads and eyelets- purchase a clear fishing tackle box and sort out each kind in the different compartments. I found a similar container in the dollar section at a local retailer.

5. For ribbon- purchase a floss storage holder used for embroidery- (cheap)wind ribbon around spools and sort by color.
