2. Organize Embellishments. Check!

Update 10-22-2010: I found after months of using this that it didn’t work for me. On a whim I purchased a set of individual screw top containers seen at the end of this post that I would recommend more than this.

I bought this plexiglass cabinet a couple of years ago when our local Ben Franklin’s was having their going out of business sale.  At the time I wasn’t sure what I would use it for. I finally decided today that to put my beads in it would be a bit scary deal should it ever fall over, SO I thought my embellishments would be better being that they are larger so that is what I did.

The front had these torn off labels. I made some black paper a sticker, cut it into strips, and pressed it over top. It cleaned up the look alot.
Here is my brads drawer. I thought I’d put like items together that way I can put a general name plaque on each row.
Here are other fasteners, brads and various items all in their own spot.
Here is my buttons tray, and a tray full of paper flowers.
I didn’t take a before picture, but I had all these in their original boxes in a basket and just like my ribbons, I couldn’t see what I had. Now that I have my items organized, I think I can now begin my ideas for projects.  Incidentally, You see the brads that I got for 50cents at a yard sale over the weekend? I just came across these online just now. They are by Making memories and they retail for 2 dollars! I love yard sales.
Thanks for visiting!
