Need some scrapbooking organization?

Although scrapbooking is a blast, before long you end up with a ton of scrapbooking supplies and no where to put them. Well you will finally have a place to put everything because this article is going to show you how to make your own scrapbooking organizer.

Soon you will be able to keep all those fun supplies and materials in one place.

Materials Required:

- A nice shelf you can clear out just for your scrapbooking space. If you don't already have a shelf, you can pick one up at any office supply store.

- Four or five paper racks. These are the racks that you can put your documents in without folding them.

- Pick up some sturdy bins or baskets that can fit on your shelf.

- Polaroid camera.

- Permanent markers.

- Some freezer bags to keep the beads, stickers and other supplies in.

- Hot glue gun.

How to set it up:

1. The first thing you will want to do is find a great place in your home to keep your scrapbooking organizer shelf at. Some great ideas are your home office, the basement, (providing that it's waterproofed and not damp or wet) or your storage room.

2. Put your bins on your shelf and put all your supplies in so they can be ready when you need them.

3. Label each bin for the types of materials it will hold. For instance, if you have 3 bins you can name them embellishments, stamps, cutouts, etc… Include other things that are along these lines. You can use another bin for ribbons, lace, leather, paper flowers, and things like this.

The last bin can be used for miscellaneous supplies that don't fit into the other categories.

4. Now it is time to put every scrapbook supply in its matching bin. Take a picture of these items with your Polaroid camera. Use the hot glue gun to glue the picture to the font of the bins. This a nice way to make a photo label. You can also write on the bin with your markers if you wish.

5. Gather your different papers and place them in the scrapbooking organizer paper racks. This will ensure that you are able to find a particular type of paper quickly for projects.

6. Now, place your scrapbooking organizer bins and paper racks on your shelf where you wish them to be. Voila!
