I found a great way to store my acrylic paint that comes in little bottles. Put a dab of paint on each lid, let dry and then write the name of the color on top of the paint. Glue empty toilet paper rolls inside a shoe box stacking them on top of each on their sides. Set it up on a shelf and viola, you can see all of them. I have a different shoe box for each hue. It saves me a lot of time hunting. Recycles too! ~Submitted by Carol V.

To corral my paints, glues, etc. I've attached kitchen wire organizers to the walls of a closet. These come in a wide variety of sizes (from one shelf to four) and are easy to put up. My closet is deep enough that I could still "hang" my glue guns. Now that I can find the glue guns, I have the luxury of having one for hot-melt, cool-melt, glitter, etc. The Big Gun sits in its carry case on a closet organizer that hangs from the closet rod. I store patterns, fabric, papers, etc on it as well. Ribbons hang on a multiple pants hanger - each rod tips up at the end, which holds the spools on, and often a length of ribbon can be pulled off without removing the spool from the hanger. Very large ribbons hang from a plan wire hanger that was untwisted and the twisted end shortened and bent into a hook to latch around the hanging hook. ~Submitted by Merilyn S.
