The pin came from the blog of Danielle Daws, and it's a fabulously handy way to store the blending sponges we use with Distress Inks.
Here's my previous storage system:
A colour chart, and plastic storage boxes with each sponge in its own little divider. Neat, but not so handy. Every time I wanted a new sponge I had to pull the box out of the shelf (I had two boxes, and I was always pulling out the wrong one...Murphy's Law, right?).
Here's the new system:
Very accessible, and very pretty. I stamped each colour using a Prima washi tape stamp in 5 x 5cm squares, laminated the sheet and added half a Velcro dot to hold the sponge in place.
Now I just need to make some wall space so these can hang right where I need them.
A morning well spent I say! Thanks for looking.
Neat idea indeed! Mine all live in a shoe box! Not sure I have the space to store the sheets!! A folder would be good.....mmmmm
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! Yes - a folder would be good. The sheets are laminated, so there's no problem with the ink making too much of a mess if they are stacked on top of each other. Do let me know how you go!
