How To Organize Texture Sheets (and Other Supplies!) in a Binder

[@angiegaul]

Thank you so much for this video! I have been researching storage & organization methods for 2 days! It seems this is an example of “when the student is ready, the teacher appears”! I am so grateful that I wish I could hug you right now! 🤗😍

Happy Friday =) The custom pockets are a fabulous idea. Like others I buy the binder and sleeves to match. I use the mini binders 8.5 by 5.5. Cutting heavy card stock in half so I can use both sides like you are. For the little texture blocks, I have a pull out drawer so I can remove it from it's stand and take it to my table. But like you said if you can't see/find it, you probably won't use it. Thank you for making me smile and laugh as well... we all have need of organizing fairies.. lol

Hah! Someone who watched to the very end. :-D

Great tips, Sandy. Ugh - organizing is so challenging

I may be strange, but I think organizing is great fun! Hope you found it helpful, Jane.

I have spent a lot of time on Amazon looking for stuff like this! I have found some pages that mostly work. Off to organize stuff.

[@SandyHuntress]

I just recently purchased page protectors with four and nine pockets amzn.to/3zQ4sqz amzn.to/3i7wiIL They're perfect for storing smaller textures.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@SandyHuntress]

You are welcome, happy creating!

[@0LorreneBaumDavis0]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are Fabulous.

[@SandyHuntress]

Awwww, thanks, you are so kind to say so. 😊

@@SandyHuntress I ordered mine (4") on Amazon yesterday. Gonna get it today. I have an entire 10 x 10 x 10 cube FILLED with textures!

[@BelindaPort]

This is so clever! TFS. You also mentioned that Sculpey has new colours of their silks screen paint. Where can we get it?

[@SandyHuntress]

No, I don't think that's what I said, I just wondered if they had a new silk screen kit out as I know they recently released a bunch of new products. After looking at their website, I see they have some very nice new silk screens, but they don't come with paint. www.sculpey.com/36-new-products Btw, did you know you can use ANY acrylic paint on silk screens? It doesn't just have to be the ones that come in the kit.

Thank you SO much for doing this! I really appreciate it! I have a question. Do you think gluing it would work ok, instead of sewing it? My sewing machine is currently buried under a mound of stuff. I am in the process of reorganizing my bedroom, and I had to stack a bunch of stuff in the living room in order to do measurements and put up shelves. It's going to be awhile before it's done and I have access to the machine again, and I really don't want to wait. The texture sheets are everywhere in my studio and they are getting in my way and driving me crazy. I had a system similar to yours before, but I didn't think of making pockets and it all kept sliding out. This will work much better. Thanks again!

[@SandyHuntress]

You know, I thought of suggesting an alternative to sewing such as gluing with Score tape, but didn’t have time to research it properly. If you try, let us know how it works out!

[@sharonmhyre6929]

Will Do! I am also going to be doing an experiment for the bigger texture sheets. If it works I will let you know. If it doesn't, I will pretend I never tried anything and quickly bury the evidence in my studio where no one will find it, (which is pretty easy atm since it's a disaster while we build shelves for under the big tables). 😜

[@SandyHuntress]

@@sharonmhyre6929 Bwahahaha! You don't know how many times I've "buried the evidence!" It's all in the video editing, lol.

[@crystalgarcia1845]

Sandy, they make 9 pocket page protectors. People use them a lot for baseball cards. Would be easier for you.

[@SandyHuntress]

That would work great if all texture sheets were the size and shape of baseball cards. 😁
