Brad and Charm Reorganization...COMPLETE

It's been so hot here that doing anything outside is insane so I have been working on getting my brads and charms reorganized. I don't use a whole lot of charms but there are times I like to add them to pages or cards so I do have a few.

I ordered some of the 6 compartment containers from FireMountain Gems and Beads and they were the perfect thing I had been searching for. They were $9.95 for a pack of 10 and that price was cheaper than any other place I could find for what I wanted. Their shipping price is phenomenal as well!

These are almost exactly the same size as the containers the Spare Parts brads come in from Hobby Lobby and that was what I had been searching for. I even searched for pill boxes and found some but they were all about $2-$3 each, which I thought was ridiculous!

Here you can see I have my Basic Grey brads and buttons organized in the containers and have them labeled. This will make it easy for  me to grab my embellies for the paper collection I am using and decide what I want to use. Getting the buttons in there took a bit of work and much like figuring out a jigsaw puzzle but persistence paid off and I was able to get them all in one container. And for those wondering, no that is not all of my Basic Grey embellies...ya'll know I have a craving for anything Basic Grey!

A wonderful crafty friend of mine, Mona, sent me these 5 compartment containers. She was wanting to get rid of them and while they weren't the 6 compartment ones I was looking for they still came in handy for some other things. I have some of my Stampin Up brads in some of them and then various others by theme, in the picture there is beach and sea life.

Since I got my Plaid Essentials Spinner back out I have my brads stored in it so I can have them out on my table and grab them easily. I use brads more than any other embellishment and probably use them on most every project I do. I have most of them labeled so I can see what is in the container without having to lift each one and look at it.

Here is a picture of my Plaid Essential Spinner on my table. I also keep my Cat Eye Chalk Inks, refills as well as Stickles and Liquid Pearls in the spinner.

When not in use I like up the squares and push it flush with my wall where it is out of the way but when I need to look for something it is easy to slide it out spin it around and then return when I am done.
