Hello Friends,
This weekend, I was bound and determined to get organized so that I could produce some Holiday cards! As I was cleaning my workspace, there was embossing powder EVERYWHERE! I then thought "I need a dedicated space for embossing AWAY from my workspace", so that I won't get powder all over it again.
Then I remembered a blog entry I came across from Jennifer McGuire. I loved her idea and storage method, but I thought I could go smaller and cheaper. Click
here for her storage method.
Then I ran across
this blog entry. I loved her small containers. I evened owned some of those green lid containers. I knew how expensive they were, and how difficult it is to take the tops off without spilling the contents. uggghhh.
So, off to the dollar store I went. Here is what I found!

| Sterilite 1969 Clear |
 |
| Perfect for my powders! |
 |
| Six for a dollar each! |
They were a dollar each and the tops are snapped on with the handles. I also found these:
 |
| Bag of spoons for a buck! |
Pack of regular spoons for a dollar. I knew they were too long for the containers. I thought I could snap the handle in half, or cut them to make them shorter. I liked the idea of velcro rather than the expensive clips that Jennifer used. Again, a dollar.
 |
| Velcro to adhere the spoon to the underside of each lid |
 |
| six containers, six spoons |
Here is the final product:
 |
| Velcro holds the spoon to the underside of the lid |
 |
| finished product! |
I was excited to show this frugal way to store your embossing powders. This set of 6 colors cost me a total of $8.00. I think I may have to go back and pick up 6 more containers.....hmmm.
Brilliant. I love the dollar shops. I get all my containers there. So clever thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI use a similar system for my embossing powders. It sure makes embossing less messy and more fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and grugal way to organize your embossing powders! I never find cute containers like that at the Dollar Stores that are local to me.
