Happy New Year from Mini-Small Packages.
I know that many people will be organizing their minis this year, well maybe this month, as resolutions often get put to the side as the year wears on. But I know that you won’t be one. You just need a boost.
Here’s my boost for you. Check out the ideas on The Organized Miniaturist blog. My blog has many ideas I have used to organize minis. I believe that being more organized helps me to make more minis. Or to put it another way – when I make minis I make more because I spend less time trying to find things.
Organizing doesn’t happen overnight. Start small, do something every day until it gets how you want it.
Here are some of my favorites:
Beads and findings -I just love to pull out one of these trays and see what I have in a particular color bead.
Ribbon and Trims – when I want a particular color of trim, I flip through the tabs to the right section.
Paint – I’ve come full circle in the way I have stored paint. However the bins are now in a different direction.
One of my main ways of sorting is by color but also by theme. That’s how my swaps are stored. This makes is so easy to find something to use in a project. Recently I used a bunch from my Swaps Mall which isn’t a finished project but a way to organize and display minis until I find a project to use them in like this bunny box.
Comments are welcome.
Happy miniaturing!
