Storing Paper Scraps

[@Jport3]

Another ah-ha moment! Valleys become mountains! It's the little things you say and do that make you my FAV instructor! THANK YOU!!

[@LollyPalooza]

awww. Thanks so much

[@annking4401]

I have one of these containers in my stack of items to go in a Scrap Booking Yard sale...well needless to say it's no longer going to yard sale!!! I had been placing them in cello bags by size . Thanks so much for this great idea.

[@LollyPalooza]

great! If you are in U.S., they are on sale at Michaels now, too

[@wendywilson1736]

Yes, If I had one of these Iris boxes, I'd be hanging onto it! I had a different type/brand card keeper box, but ended up giving to grandkids for their perler bead supplies for their camper. It helps keep all that stuff together. I now am keeping my cards filed in a photo box from Michael's.

[@gionun8950]

Great organisation. I have moved my paper scraps from envelopes to file folder to boxes. The issue is not storage but hoarding.

[@LollyPalooza]

I had mine in expanding file folder type containers that are about the size that hold bank checks. Too small. They got moved to the cardboard box, and now this.

[@nic214469]

I thought I was the only one hoarding..... I think to myself even with little pieces "I'll use that one day" lol

[@lynfischer1601]

Thanks for the valley and mountain tip. Love the set up for scrap paper it’s a keeper 👧🏻

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. It looks SO much better than that cardboard box sitting on the floor.

[@lindalovescrafting4551]

Okay, organizing as I watch, great idea. Puttting mine in a clear case - it I see them - I will use them theory. Thanks! Linda

[@LollyPalooza]

I do use mine, but it's so frustrating to dig in a box

[@bean2sara]

Hello Lolly , what a great idea to saving and organizing your scraps. I have 4 of those boxes I put my already made cards in them by seasons. I get my boxes at Michael’s, they are not cheap but I always use a coupon . I get them one at a time as needed. 🤗 thank you for sharing it’s always neat to see how others organize. Love the file folder idea as well. Hugs. Happy weekend ! 🐰🐰🐰🐰

[@LollyPalooza]

yes, I just heard from another comment that Michaels sometimes carries them. Coupon time!

[@RuthieAubs]

Great idea! I have two of those cases!. I've made so many cards I had to go to a larger container so I have two empty! Need it more for my patterned paper scraps. Thanks for the idea!!

[@LollyPalooza]

perfect!

[@stephanietaylor626]

Really nice job. I am always looking for ways to be more organized. Thank you for sharing!! I must say though...girl! I thought I was saving too much, but you put me to shame! 😂😂 that red paper with all the punch holes in it...you need to pitch that! Haha! Love you!!

[@LollyPalooza]

hee hee! Thank you! :) You made my day

[@Jeannes1234]

What a great idea Lolly! I happen to have that Iris card organizer which I bought for another purpose, but am not using. I’ve already cut divider folders for it and I’m starting to fill them up with my scraps. Your tutorial was so clear and thorough. Thanks!

[@LollyPalooza]

OOH! I didn't know that there were folders available

[@Fun-sk4bz]

Love the case . A suggestion to take your idea to the next level . On a crafty, non crafty day...use your time to cut yours scraps into the largest size possible per the scraps your are working with. Choose 8 sizes, if it cannot be cut into one of your chosen sizes it goes into the temporary punch box. Punch smaller pieces after you complete the larger cuts. I store my scraps by size of paper. I find I use them more because I can check if I have the size I need before cutting into a full sheet of paper. I do the same for punches. I pick a few of my most used punches to punch my scraps , then store them in a small container with multiple slots. Just a few suggestions to add to your great video.

[@LollyPalooza]

sounds great. Would love to see photos

[@thelmahall2593]

Love the box! I like it because it's clear

[@LollyPalooza]

yes, that makes it so much better

[@carmenchiapa2323]

Great idea

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you !

[@suzyemery]

Nice idea!! I just recently, put mine in, I think 8 1/2 x 11 protective plastic sheets, in a 3 ring binder. All the reds together, all the blues together, etc. So, I then just flip the plastic sheets to find the color I want. So far, it seems to be ok...but I love your idea, too......TFS Lolly!! 😍~Suzy~

[@LollyPalooza]

a binder might be the best option for my patterned scraps! Thanks

[@lalagamma4452]

Love this idea!! You are so creative! Hugs, Lala x❤x

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! This has been such a help to me

[@ScrapDiva29]

Great idea!! TFS

[@LollyPalooza]

you bet. Thanks for watching

[@Beezign]

Great tips! I actually took out the plastic dividers as they take up a lot of the space. Tfs

[@LollyPalooza]

I was thinking of removing at least one.

[@laurenbutler3452]

Very clever!

[@LollyPalooza]

and soooo needed! :)

[@vbloodser]

Love this idea! Thanks for sharing

[@LollyPalooza]

you bet. It's sooo much better than jumbled in a box

[@AngelikaSchlager]

Very helpful idea, Lolly! Dividers could be made from cardboard - a very good idea for storage, thank you! Hugs angel.💓

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for watching, dear

[@wendywilson1736]

I put my larger scraps that aren't big enough to store with my 8 x 11inch cardatock in clear plastic pocket sleeves in a binder. I go to these first to use for card bases and mats, so I dont cut into full sheets, if I dont need to. Even smaller scraps are filed by color in a clear shoebox. Those are to add color behind my greetings, die cut embellishments and words, and other details. Yes, they are in 2 different places, but it's easier to go through, depending if I'm looking for a small scrap, or to start a new card.

[@LollyPalooza]

Yes, I have larger scraps in another spot, too

[@Itsadeal]

Great idea😍

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. My floor looks so much better now! :)

[@TanBraeDesigns]

Good idea! I have a couple of those Iris card holders, but they don't work very well for that. I have a TON of scraps, so I may have to give this a shot.

[@LollyPalooza]

great!

[@MossCottageMarket]

What a great way to organize paper scraps. If I email you my address will you come and organize my scraps too? Lol Thanks for show us this.

[@LollyPalooza]

hee hee. :) I am so happy I did this

[@bonniewalter8609]

Lolly! First off...what a beautiful name! I just stumbled across your channel. Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

[@LollyPalooza]

awww! Thank you! And thank you for watching!

[@kdnkdd]

Nice idea.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you

[@katrineleber7238]

I just some of the iris cases new. They were A LOT more than 2 dollars. You get the best deals. They were designed to store photos. hugs, treen

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks!

[@Loftusgirl]

I have 3 of these little Iris boxes and a ton of scraps, do you think I could come up with this idea on my own??? Lol Love this, I will be getting this done tomorrow. Thanks for sharing your idea with the thinking impaired ME!!! 😂

[@LollyPalooza]

Yay! They are nice boxes! You'll be able to separate your colors well. I only have one box, so I have to put two colors in many folders.

[@GinaLovestocraft]

Great idea thank you ❤️

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks a bunch!

[@cricutologist32820]

I just worked on my scraps today!!! I used 8.5 x 11 page protectors. That container is sold at Michaels for $14.99 or $12.99.

[@LollyPalooza]

that works, too! Have to dig a little deeper to get to the bottom of the page protector, but if you are okay with it, it's perfect

[@artualizatecontamara]

La caja para guardar los papeles esta genial, es una pena que no lleguen a España

[@LollyPalooza]

lo siento

[@wendiwreythefam4138]

You can get that container at Michaels Arts and Crafts, and possibly other craft stores.

[@LollyPalooza]

then a coupon can be used, or wait until the days they run the sale on all storage :)

[@JournalJourneyArts]

😃they would be great too if you added a gusset to the files. In this way the small pieces wouldn’t slip out. Just a though

[@LollyPalooza]

I made larger files for bigger scraps (link is under this video) and made accordion sides for those.

[@theresaellison9007]

I save my smaller pieces for inchies art. Look them up, it’s amazing!

[@LollyPalooza]

I do know about inchies. :)

[@TreeCraftOn]

I use an accordion file, but I have way too many scraps - need to use or purge (just hate wasting). Blessings, Tree

[@LollyPalooza]

It does feel wasteful getting rid of the scraps. :(

[@tohonagriffin5123]

I have several of these containers to store various items,Ik ow that I used one for sticker storage

[@LollyPalooza]

fun!

[@craftiejjnewton7097]

I started to buy one of those on Amazon now I just might go ahead and get TFS

[@LollyPalooza]

I'm glad I found it at a thrift store. However, I just heard Michaels sometimes carries them. Coupon time!

[@luvtocreate3435]

I got mine at Michael’s don’t remember how much I paid but it was 40% off when I bought it.

[@LollyPalooza]

nice to know. Sometimes they have "all craft storage on sale" deals, too

[@connieshows1214]

where did you get that little glue bottle?

[@LollyPalooza]

I carry them in my shop, though I'm running low because my supplier is temporarily out of stock www.etsy.com/listing/608932306/fine-tip-applicator-bottles-set-of-2

[@04Katie1]

It would have been nice to do the tabs in the color that’s in the folder.

[@LollyPalooza]

great idea!

[@lythiamoyer2847]

Why all the rings?

[@LollyPalooza]

Jewelry is another art form
