Organizing those alpha stamps!

[Jeanne]

How are those foam stamps looking about now? Are they still in the package because you don't know where to put them? Well, fear no more! I am here to help! Get yourself to walmart, target, or Hobby Lobby and pick your self up one of those three drawer slider. You have more than three sets of foam stamps? Have no fear! This mere three drawers holds nine, yes nine sets of alphas!!!

FInd an old box and cuts strips of cardboard.. you are going to use these strips to separate your drawers. Create a z formation and glue gun the cardboard to the sides of the drawers. Don't fret- if you mess up, let it cool down, peel off the glue, and start again!

inside drawer view- notice how the cardboard inserts zigzag to counter act each other.

Thats a great idea jeanne.

[flamyngo]

holy crap i love it! Jeanne I have tw of these drawers just sitting with nothing in them right now!

[Tigger]

That's a great idea!

Can somebody buy me a house with enough room to put a 3 drawer thingy? lol

[Rhonda]

that IS a good idea! I have all my foam stamps in old baby wipe containers.

[Elissa]

Ok...I love this. What are the dimensions of that storage unit?

[Jeanne]

I don't have the exact dimensions but I imagine I could set a letter sized piece of paper in there and it would fit fine....

[Mommy April]

If we have the same storage unit.. which I'm thinking it is, it's about 7x8 inches on the inside.

[Mommy April]

hrmmm maybe yours is bigger than mine!? dunno :)

[msninjawrx]

i love the spice rack idea...definitely will use mine when it's old...

I currently use a Unikeep case-style binder to store my foam alphas.

I'll try to take a pic of what it looks like with foam stamps later.

Oh yes.. please do! =)

I redid all my stamp storage from those containers that were cute but hard to travel with...I now use similar things as Lynnie mentioned that Sherri found. I'll have to take a pic later.

[Tigger]

Mine are in those pencil cases... But I'm thinking that 3 drawer thing of Jeanne's would fit upstairs... I could use the exercise. lol

[Jeanne]

Tigger I don't think they are as big as you think they are! I have two sets of drawers stacked on the floor and they go right about to my knee.

[Tigger]

They'd still have to go upstairs!! I don't have an inch of room left in this spare room. It's quite tiny. Ask Hoopy. Between the bed, my scrapping dresser, the desk I'm sitting at (was that a dangling participle?) I don't have one more inch... :(

Great yard sale find, too!!
