Tiny Treasures Embellisment Storage

Depending on your creative process, sorting your embellishments by one of these categories can make you organized and more efficient.

Type:
If, as you’re designing a page, you often know just what type of embellishment you need to decorate an open space or to attach a layer, sorting by embellishment type is likely the right approach for you. Keep all eyelets together, all buttons in another group, and so on. That way you’ll know exactly which container to grab for the piece you need.

Color:
For some scrapbookers, color drives page design. If that design style fits you, sort all your embellishments by color, even mixing dissimilar types into a single-color compartment. You’ll give yourself lots of options within a hue.

Hint: Hang small embellishments to keep them off your work surface. We found the metal rod with holes at the hardware store and used office-supply binder rings to suspend items stored in small plastic bags. Other accents were hung in the original packaging from hooks designed to be used with pegboard wall systems.
