Searching for coordinating embellishments can eat up lots of scrapping time and lead to a huge amount of frustration. If you’re storing each thing; in a small container, inside a larger box, in a big drawer, it might take you half an hour just to get to the little thing you need.
If you’re looking for an easy way to keep all of your embellishments in one place the Embellishment Organizer is the answer. Easy to get to, easy to use, even easy to travel with.
How do you use it?
This is a pretty simple method for keeping embellishments grouped together for maximum usability. Rather than storing your Embellishments all over your Scrapbooking area based on Species, store them all together by color. When you’re looking for eyelets and fibers that go together, or Big Brads and Silk Flowers that will compliment each other, you only have to spend your time looking in one place.
For Little Things:
Use the Recloseable Embellishment Bags to store all of the little things like, buttons, brads, beads, eyelets, etc. Once you’ve got them all into the small bags, separate them by color. Use Storage Pages and place each embellishment bag into an individual pocket, keeping the colors grouped together. If you have lots of shades of a particular color you may need more than one Storage Page.
Round up those Fibers:
Rather than storing your Fibers all wrapped up on little fiber cards, stretch them out onto 12x12 WrapAround FiberBoards. Start this process by first separating your fibers into color groups. Once they are sorted, begin wrapping the fiber around and around the fiberboard. Use the fiber clips that are included in each package to hold the end of your fiber securely. This will also help you locate the end quickly. Once a fiber card is full slip it into it's clear pocket to keep is safe and clean.
Sort and Label
Now sort the “Little Things” in together with the FiberBoards. Label the Dividers with each color scheme. Remember the name Roy G Biv when organizing your colors.

Store in your TravelPack Plus
Finally, use one of the 3 ring Spinders to hold Red through Green. Use the second Spinder to hold Blue through Metallic. Put both Spinders in your TravelPack and zip it shut. If you’re working at home, it’s easy to open up the TravelPack and flip to what you need. If you’re taking the TravelPack with you, just add your favorite tools, adhesives, and pens to the inside storage pockets and off you go!
