If you’re like me, the worst part of trying to get organized is all the little stuff — LEGOS!! or crafting stuff like ribbon scraps, pompoms, felt bits, and all those other little itty-bitty bits. Today I’ve got one super easy, FAST solution to this organization problem: create a filing system using zipper-type plastic bags sewn together with pretty fabric scraps. [Go to tutorial]
Project Estimate:
-
Zipper bags, on hand (I also found packages of robot or mermaid theme ones on Target’s dollar aisle!)
-
Fabric or Ribbon scrap, on hand
Total cost: Free and up

I have done something like this for my scrapbook supplies only I used binder rings and punched holes in my bags and reinforced them with those little sticker hole things– sorry, I’m tired and my vocabulary is the first to go. :) But I have been using that thing for six years and it still works great. Just an idea for people who are sewing challenged, like me. :)

Great idea!! That would give you that tiny bit of extra space for paper scraps!
