As we get further into Mixed Media Arts we find it harder to throw things away, starting to see the potential in everyday objects, beautiful papers, shiny embellishments and other things. So we need to think about how to store them so they are easy to find when we need them and stored safely so they don’t get ruined.

Part 3 Embellishments
My small collection of embellishments started in a box along with the smaller pieces of paper and in two small tackle boxes; small plastic containers with dividers which are ideal for small shiny things.  As my collection has grown, particular styles of embellishments have their own boxes (or 3).

For smaller shiny things, craft storage boxes or fishing tackle style boxes are good for separating different colours and shapes of beads and buttons.  As I got into more grungy found metallic things, these got their own box.

I would love to hear about how you store your embellishments ~ please leave a comment!
