Magnetic Embellishment Board

As promised, today I have a great magnetic embellishment board project for you to get stuck into. All thanks go to amber over at Damask Love

 

You will need to do a little hunting around for the materials required for this project but it will be well worth the effort.

 

1) MetalMaster Snips: Okay – now I know you may not have these one hand, but they really are a great tool for paper crafters.

2) 12 x12 picture frame

3) 12 x 12 Metal Sheet

4) Decorative Aluminum Sheet.

This part of the project is completely optional, but I really like the decorative accent that it adds to the finished product. Since this aluminum sheet is not magnetic, it is a purely decorative top layer. The steel sheet in step #3 is what makes the board magnetic

  

5) To organize your embellishments, you’ll need some containers and these Clear Top Tins are perfect. They are available in several sizes, but these three are the ones that will be most useful for your embellie board project. For this particular board, she used the smallest of the sizes pictured here.

6) Last, you’ll need magnets. You’ll need rather strong magnets since they will need to work through the top sheet of decorative aluminum.

1) Use your metal snips to cut the decorative sheet.

2) Trim the decorative aluminum down to the same 12×12 size as the steel sheet.

3) Place two magnets on the back of each clear top tin. Two magnets rather than one to ensure a better grip and to be sure that the container doesn’t spin around.

4) Fill up your containers, place the metal sheets in the frame and stick the tins into place!

How does your craft storage look?

If you are like me you always have a little wall space that can be utilised for those all important craft products.

 

You can pick up these great wooden storage shelves from places like Ikea and Argos so why not take a look.

 

It's all about wall storage! If you are like me you love a trip to Ikea as they have some great bits and pieces to aided to all aspects of craft storage. Above these are rails which are screwed to the wall and some hanging wire baskets which are for those fiddle (don't fit anywhere) items.

Bank Holiday Glitter Craft Storage Inspiration

As we near the end of a bank holiday weekend I thought I would bring you a little storage inspiration for your craft rooms. 

Everybody loves a bit of glitter...

But how do you store glitter without getting yourself, your house covered in it. I have found some amazing glitter storage inspriration for everyone, from those with very little storage to those of us fortunate to have a stunning space we can call our own.

 

These storage boxes are great, they are cheap to pick up and are great for storing all those little bits and pieces....

 

 

Salt and pepper or spice shakers make great glitter storage as the glitter is always confined and the top allows you to get an even sprinkle of glitz on your work.

 

This storage is great to brighten up your craft room walls. The air tight containers are great for all kinds of craft storage from glitter, ribbons to buttons. These airtight containers are available for a great price from ikea and are available in all shapes and sizes.

 

 

I saved the best for last....

This is what every true crafter dreams of having in their craftroom. This is an amzing example of how to show off all your beautiful craft products to their best.

Now most people think crafters can be a little strange, but I guess that is only half of it.

I know there are many of you out there who love to stroke their paper, buy 2 sheets of every style as you cannot bear to cut into one, but most of all we love to arrange and then rearrange our crafty treats. Well at least I do anyway!

So to give you all a little inspiration I am going to start bringing you uniques and inspiring craft room ideas every week. Maybe you will find a little gem that suits your own creative space.

So for my first storage inspiration I am bringing you this amazing paper organiser tutorial from emily over at Remarkable Home.
