The wonders about scrapbooking is when you get to make something beautiful out of scraps, or something you find memorabilia in, but although wonderful, the scraps you find, or the cute product you just bought can still be considered scraps, cause you’ll have leftover cuts from really big patterned paper, or piece of box design that you see potential in. I love seeing potential in a lot of my scraps, but the hardest part is knowing where to put these potentials, cause from my experience, shoving them in my one cabinet creates clutter and sometimes a headache. So if you’re also struggling with scrapbook organization, here are 5 scrapbook storage ideas for small spaces that can help keep your supplies organized without taking over your entire room.
1. 12 x 12 Papers
Every once in a while, you’ll buy cute patterned paper just to use half of it, or even a rip of it, and it will lead to scraps; as a scrapbooker such as yourself, you can’t let these things go, so you keep them. When it comes to scrapbook paper storage, and especially 12×12 paper storage, in my opinion, the best place to keep these things is in school paper organizers (ShopeeMY). Not only are these things small and compact, but you can put them anywhere, so if you’re planning to shove scrapbook materials in a drawer, at least make it organized; plus you can hang it on the wall if you wanna save that useful drawer space for something else. Not only do these things organize my 12 x 12 paper, but they also fit papers bigger than A4. The school paper organizer is one of the best scrapbook storage organizers that I would recommend. But for those who have a lot of table space, I would definitely buy a vertical paper organizer (ShopeeMY) , especially if I keep forgetting about my old scraps.
2.Small Stickers
Sometimes I join an event that gives me a couple of free stickers that come in one piece, but what happens most of the time is that I get magnetically pulled into a really cute stationery store that sells a lot of cute stickers. It will magically take my wallet and buy the stickers for me, and when those problems arise, the best solution to this scrapbook storage problem is a reusable sticker book (ShopeeMY). It’s reusable, and there are a lot of pages to go around- to the point where I still have lots of pages, and I assure you that I always get pulled into these stores. Or if your issue is mainly small stickers you get from events, I recommend a small, tiny clear card binder (ShopeeMY). You can keep adding pages to it. If you collect photocards, you’d definitely have these lying around already.
3. Washi Tapes
You buy one or two, and suddenly you realize you’ve bought so much that you can use them like rings to cosplay a rich lady. The amount of washi tape you have has gone to a point where it can’t just be shoved in a drawer anymore, and this has become somewhat of a scrapbook organization problem. If your situation is similar to mine, where you have 3 drawers and a bigger table, you’ll love a washi tape stand (ShopeeMY). If you’re not into the wooden aesthetic, a lot of stationery lovers often get a desk organizer instead (ShopeeMY)
4. Glue Tape, Scissors, and Everyday Tools
Things like these take up more space, even though you’ll most likely only buy 1 at a time, so similar to the washi tape solution, I’d suggest a desk organizer, especially if you’re looking for scrapbook storage ideas for small spaces where every bit of table and drawer space matters. But for a craftier look, I’d get a craft caddy (ShopeeMY), cause it’s much more portable and a perfect way to transport all our tools when you want to do a scrapbook hangout with your friends.
5. Tiny Decorations & Embellishments
These things get lost so often; we’d have to search in the void, but they stay if you’re good at organizing. Tiny decorations come around every so often, especially when you want that scrapbook bulk. Charms, buttons, beads- anything that small- will get lost 100%, and the thing that has been helping me is a drawer divider (ShopeeMY). This helps me a lot, since I can still shove things in my drawer, but it will stay organized. For scrapbook storage in small spaces, I think using the storage you already have and simply dividing it properly is sometimes better than buying another big organizer.
