Hi Crafters,
I have been busy the past couple of days re-arranging things in my crafting room and I decided since I can't afford most of the Organizers the world has to sell, I'd make my own! Sooooooo...Here are some of the pictures of the items I made! They were fun to make and didn't take too very long! I might make a video one of these days and show you how to make one of these organizers. The 1st pictures are of my Ribbon Holder which I made out of cardboard a very long time ago and decided to make it less heavy by making it with White Foamboard. It also has what most people call a "Lazy Susan" attached to the bottom so it can turn around and around! The Ribbon Holder measures 15.5"w X 5.25"h X 15.5"l. It holds ALOT of ribbon depending on how wide the rolls are! Mine has 52 rolls extending from it and a 5.5" X 5.5" hole in the center for extra rolls. You can even make just 3 rows and open the box when you need ribbon and it would hold more (approx. 66 rolls) but, I like to be able to grab my ribbon and pull a piece out quickly and cut it off (I have my ribbon scissors setting on top of the box so I never have to look for them) and continue with my project so..

Ink Pad Holder has 10 1"h shelves for ink pads, I have Stampin' Up pads but I don't have ALL of the large pads (40) but I do have all the colors in the Spots! Also, it holds the re-inker bottle on the 5 shelves that are 3.5"h plus my versa mark pads for embossing etc,
And now my Punch Holder! I'm so excited about this!....

| This holds my Stampin' Up Punches, Border Punches, etc. |

and last but not least... I don't seem to take the best pictures with the lighting overhead of me so I made a "Photo Box" to help me and my pictures look so much better! I also made 1 that can fold up for travel!!!!!
 |
| Photo Box (sort of) Measures 12" X 12" base is 11" square |

Well, that's all for now, hope you enjoyed the pictures, by the way I used 6 Foamboards measuring 20" X 30" for all of the above projects including the travel Photo Box! A hot glue gun, exacto knife, ruler, plastic for ribbon holders on outside, 18 large brads, Lazy Susan and 1 sheet of whisper white card stock and my time!
Keep on crafting,
Linn
