Fiber Organization

Take Control of your Fibers!

Do you sometimes find that you don’t make full use of your Fiber collection because it’s too time consuming to find the perfect color, untangle the knot, iron out the fold marks or locate that matching collection?

A good simple Fiber organization system can provide you the visibility you love and the accessibility you need to get the best and the most out of your Fiber collection.

3 Simple Steps to Fiber control

Step 1 – Find your Fiber
Bring all your fibers together. For most of us this could take awhile. Fibers tend to get stashed in any open and available space. They’re pliable, mostly indestructible and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. This makes them the perfect candidates for getting spread around instead of well organized.
Your first step in Fiber Organization is getting them all together. Search through your scrapbook stash, dig out all your fibers and put them together to be sorted.

Step 2 – Sort and Categorized
In this step divide your fibers into categories,
  • First by Theme (Ribbon with soccer balls would be grouped with sports, Ribbon silkscreened with the words Happy Birthday would go in birthday, etc.)
  • Second by collection, if you buy paper collections that come with matching fiber like that fabulous new BasicGrey FRUITCAKE, you want to keep them together, your second category is Collections.
  • Third by Holidays and Seasons, Easter Bunnies, Christmas Trees, etc these are generally ribbon with holiday or seasonal designs.
  • Fourth category will be Color. This is where you put all the Fibers that don’t fit in any of the first 3 categories. Group these last fibers by color.
Step 3 – Store and Display
Use WrapAround FiberBoards™ to put your fibers into a highly visible yet easily accessible storage system. Use one board for each theme, one board for each color group, one board for each collection, and one board for each holiday or season.
Once you’ve wrapped your fibers around the board use the Fiber Control Clips™ to hold them in place. Finally slide the loaded WrapAround FiberBoard™ into its Sideloader Single Storage Envelope.
Your Fibers are now ready to be incorporated into your Flip-n-Find™ ScrapRack Organization system, Loaded into a TravelPack Plus, or just stored away in your filing system.
When you’re ready to add fiber to your layout, finding it will be as easy as Flipping to the coordinating section in your organization system.
ies divided into the 4 Section System and your storage pages loaded you will be ready to add tabs and dividers to your ScrapRack™.
Tabs – Use one of your adhesive tabs for each minor section. You will use these mainly in the Themes A-Z section, i.e. within your A Section you might have ART, ANIMALS, etc.
Dividers – Once you have added your Tabs you can add your Dividers. The Dividers should be spread evenly through your ScrapRack. We recommend 2-3 Dividers per Spinder. The Divider will add an extra layer of protection to your supplies, add stability to your ScrapRack and make it easier to flip from section to section.
