How do you store your Twinkling H20's? I am looking for a metal/tin box with a clear lid on it to store these in. I cannot find one. How are you all storing yours?
I put mine in the new channel alpha boxes from su! It works great but I am on number 2 now! Just love thos H2O's

I use the acrylic box frames. Two of the 11x14 size will hold all 120 of the 10 gram size, and they fit on a shelf and stack very nicely. I store the H20's upside down so I can see the labels. I also use these acrylic box frames for storing my non-SU! stamps. I think that was originally a JanTink suggestion.

Make sure you dont put the lids back on them when they are wet...they will mold.
Wow ~ I've never thought about them getting moldy, I'll have to make sure to keep my lid off until they dry! Thanks for the tip ;)
I also store my in the acrylic box frames, the frames stack really nice on top of each other. I also use the box frames to store my wooden stamps that aren't SU!

silly question, what are acrylic box frames?? I'm confused. thanks

Good idea, but can you keep upright in those with the lids off?
this got me thinking. what if you stuck them to the bottom of the box with glue dots? then they woldn't move around. the only drawback is that then you can't really take them out very easily either. but I guess if you didn't ever want to take them out it wouldn't matter (but I re-arrange things too often for this to work for me.)
hey! I didn't say it was a good idea. just an idea. hehe

I have mine in one of those drawer units that sits on top of one of my Iris carts... Yes, I'm a drawer addict!!! Little drawers everywhere, full of STAMPIN STUFF!!!!!
I store mine in fishing tackle boxes from Plano. (My dh is a fisherman). They have dividers that can be moved to suit your needs, and I think they work very well.
I have a fishing tackle box that holds 4, they slide in like drawers, and I can put them all in there. You can look on their website. Eileen

I searched for fishing tackle boxes, and the sports authority has just what I was talking about. Check our www.sportsauthority.com, and look at the plano boxes. they have 2 sizes, I have the smaller that holds 4 plastic units, they also have a larger size. I love it, I can grab it and go. Eileen

Mine are upside down in one of those 3 drawer thingies from Wal-Mart. You can fit 2 layers in each drawer I just make sure I let them dry before I put them away.
Oh, I just dump mine in a small wicker basket. Lol, probably not the best or convenient way to find individual colors but it works for my small craft area.

I also use the three drawer plastic units from Wal-Mart and Target. But I store mine on their sides...sorted by colors. I went nuts with the little buggars and I think I have every color (or that was the plan anyway). I did not know they would mold though so I'd better check mine too!! I'm sure you can just remove the "color pod" and wipe it off though if it did!
I found some clear plastic boxes made for DVD case replacements and use those. I can see through them to see the colors and the can be stacked or stored upright. I bought them at Walgreens.

I got these little 3-drawer things at Office Depot, see photo attached. I downloaded the color chart from LuminArte's website and printed it on Whisper White CS. I painted a bit in each block on the chart so it would help me choose the colors when using the paints. I store my H2O's in the same order as the color chart so I can find them easily. You can see in the photo that there is a divider in the middle to help keep them in order. When I pull a color out to use, I stick a small wedge of stamping sponge in the hole to keep the place. I bought two of the drawer units. I keep my H2O's in 4 of the drawers (all colors currently for sale. I think it's up to 120 now). I keep erasers, my aquapainters, CM cutting blades and more tiny stuff in the other two drawers. These units stack nicely and fit on top of my other plastic cart next to my desk.
I also make sure mine are dry before capping them. I usually let them sit overnight. It's almost always evening before I have time to get serious enough about stamping to use H2O's.
I have mine in an old plastic case that was supposed to be for cross stitch floss---has a snap close lid and 3 jars fit perfectly in each little square. The boxes were $1 on sale once. I have 2 cases.
