I love organizing and coming up with household ideas that make life a little easier.
While I am working on tomorrow's post I would like to offer a few ideas that help me in my creative workspace.
The first one is needles. I use needles not only to do stitching on cards with thread (sometimes but rarely on clothes too - :-D), but also to open up glue bottles or Stickles that become clogged for one reason or the other.
For this cork, I saved a wine cork and used E-6000 to adhere it to a Making Memories carousel that holds adhesives, Xacto blades, paintbrushes, hand-held hole punches, but...no pens. (said in my best Edna Mode voice - any Incredibles fans?? lol!! Edna is my favorite character...) Pens have their own container.
You could also glue a cork into a narrow bottle weighed with sand, or to the side of mug that holds tools or pens.
I keep the various glues that have a tendency to become clogged in the carousel sections near the cork of needles.
Second: I am a pencil freak and openly admit it. I love pencils. I love sharp, long, new pencils. Yes, there is a serious issue in my house regarding pencil theft. It was evident when the phone would ring and all I had to take notes was a crayon! I believe three little children are responsible for the vanishing act of my beloved graphite writing implements. :-D
I solved this problem using something I had here but was for another purpose: gaffer tape. Gaffer tape is a single sided sticky tape that has a decorative design or print on one side and is sticky on the other. Gaffer tape can be used for binding books, holding corners of cigar box kits together, and so forth.
Any child caught with a gaffer pencil must cough up $0.25 for each pencil or do pushups or jumping jacks - punishment depends on the age of the criminal. :-D
I hope to post more organizational ideas in the future...but for tomorrow...airbrushing!! Thank you for stopping by!
