Stickles and Reinkers Organization!





For the last week or so I've been thinking to myself  "I have to get my little drawer full of Stickles, alcohol inks, and reinkers organized one of these days". It's a mess- they are all just thrown in there piled high- so I have to dig through them to find the right one when I need it.  Well I was making a batch of cookies yesterday and the recipe called for shortening. So I grabbed my Crisco sticks, and as I was about to pitch the clear case that it came in into the recycling box an  idea hit me, "Let's see if the reinkers and Stickles will fit in here?" (I'm a big fan of repurposing and recycling items instaed of just throwing them away). So I ran into my craftroom, opened up my messy drawer and grabbed a few bottles-and to my surprise they fit in there perfectly! Wohooooo! I had 3 sticks of the Crisco so I grabbed the other 2 clear containers to use, and how lucky could I get- all 3 containers fit perfectly into my drawer. All my little bottles are lined up nice and neat now, I even had room for a few tubes of microbeads. Simple- quick, and a cheap fix to my storage problems. You never know what you will come up with out of the blue!!
