The 4th section of the 4 Section System is The Rainbow. This is where I recommend you store craft supplies that don’t fit into a Theme, Sentiment or Holiday category. Group these supplies together by color. Flowers, Ribbons, Tiles, Tags, Brads, Eyelets, Glitter…..all of them. You’ll be amazed at how much more you can craft when supplies are easy to put your hands on.
Thanks for popping by today!
Happy Organizing,

As you probably already know, the majority of my craft supplies are stored right here in my office at “the office.” That means, whenever I’m going to work on something at home, I need to pack it up and take it with me. Not usually a big deal – I pull a couple of Spinders… Continue Reading
