JustRite Stamp & Stickle Storage


Photo 1: Original Self-Inking JustRite Stamps
What's the best way to organize a bag full of oddly shaped stamps? That's the challenge Dotty faced when she asked for ideas on how to store her collection of original, self-inking JustRite stamps - so, Dotty, here's some tips to get you started!

1. Sort your stamps by size and style, then group similar types of stamps together, as shown in Photo 1.

Photo 2: Label Your Collections & Secure The Tops
2. Contain your stamps and label them as needed. If your stamps came in cases, label them on the bottom and tape the lids so they don't slide off. If you need a case, look for a small box or tin to place them in so you can see what you have at a glance (Photo 2).

(Original Use - Product Packaging For A Stationery Kit)
3. Decide how often you will use your stamps and where you would like to store them. I wanted my stamps close at hand, so I created a Desk Organizer specifically for them (Photo 3).

Photo 4: What Else Should Go In My Extra Space?
4. Since I had extra room in my Desk Organizer, I added Stickles and a few other crafting products that I wanted to keep close at hand (Photo 4).

Photo 5: My Stamp & Stickle Organizer
5. Photo 5 shows my complete storage solution! Now, whenever I open my desk drawer, my collection of JustRite Stamps and Stickles are at my fingertips!

So, that's What's On My Workdesk This Wednesday! For more Organizational Tips, see my sidebar!

Have a fabulous week - and be sure to check out the latest Tsunami & Legend antics at Kaleidoscope Kitty!

    Hi Ramona passing through to say hi!!

    These stamps would be great for my 7 yr old little artist. She and I are in the process of turning our "canning room" in the basement into a Craft Room we definitely need storage solutions like this.

    Have a great day!
