Creative Space – Inspiration Files
Part of creating a space to work in involves finding places for all the “paper” things that inspire me. Here are some of my storage ideas:
3-Ring Binders – Are great for holding pictures and articles that inspire me. They’re also a great way to save space. Here’s what you do: Take a pile of magazines you’re holding on to because there’s an article or picture you like. Tear out the images and articles you find inspiring. Then, put them into a beautiful 3-ring binder. Now you have everything right at your fingertips and a big pile of old magazines, gone.
Magazine Files – Are great for storing magazine and books you want to keep, neatly and by category.
Hanging Files – Are great for patterns and pattern pieces. When you’re working on a project, grab the file and you have everything you need.
How do you store the things that inspire you?
Pretty binders, Lori.
Within my binders, or files of any kind, I have sub-categories. So as the files get larger, they remain easy to sort and find specific topic or project.
Thank you, Mel. I agree! As I was putting the pages together, I could see categories naturally emerging.
