Ok, My DH is helping me re-decorate my little corner stamping space. I am so happy about how. It is coming along and everything is having it's own space. My problem is what to do with all of my powders. How do you store your pearlex, EP & Dazzling diamond etc...??? I hate them just stacked on the shelf. :(

I attached magnets to the bottom of the containers and then put a metal sheet above my work area and the containers stick to the metal. I put color samples on the top so I know what I am grabbing.
I'd show a picture but I am moving and all my supplies are already packed up :(
If you are bad about not screwing tops back on this is not a good idea though.
Mine are all in a small three drawer box thingy from Target. The drawers are tall enough for 2 dazz. diamonds to stack on top of each other. The other jars all fit perfectly. I also have my eyelets, buttons, etc in the same set of drawers.
I have them in a photo box, (the one that is like $2 at michaels.) It has a label on the end, so I know what is in there. I also keep my card samples in these boxes. If they werent so expensive, I would keep all my stuff in the Tupperware modular mates, they stack so nicely and hold labels well and have the added bonus that if for some reason water were to get to them my stuff would be safe.

I love this idea! Magnets on the bottom of the jars and a sheet of metal on the shelf..... WOW! I gotta do this!
I have all of my small container items in a lazy susan. Inside of a drawer. It works very well. It is divided, so they don't tip over. And I can divide things by category...glitter, ep, whatever, even my fibers and brads...
I love the magnet idea too. I like to have it all at my reach.:cool: I gave it a try. It holds fine for the DD & Heat & Stick but the embossing powders seem to heavy. What do you use for size to hold them? I had a roll of 1/2" strength rating #2.

My most used colors are transferred to our stack and store container and sitting along a wall on my desk. All the rest are in shallow stackable drawers.
I have this drawer thing from Home Depot that is supposed to hold nails and screws. It has about 15 drawers. I keep all my embellishments in it and label the drawers. I keep the pearl-ex upside down so it is easy to see the colors.
