Slowly but surely, my messy creative space is being sorted, tidied and pretty-ed up. It's a huge job but I try to jump in and do a few things at a time.
I recently used a sweet set of nesting suitcases I had to put cards in; the small for hair clip backing cards, the middle for brooch back cards and the large for business cards.
Today the task was to find a way of keeping my Japanese washi tape. I did get a bit of washi-tape-storage-envy when I saw Thea's new holder, but this year, as we're saving madly for a new home, I'm trying to use as much of what I had around me. It's not the neatest solution, but I grabbed a few baby food jars I've been saving for this project and wrapped them in washi tape. In the bottom of the jars I popped some clay and then some bits of dowel we had around the house. The best thing is, the storage has a very small footprint.

Thats a great storage idea. I too have washi tape envy. Do you know where I could fnd some in Brisbane? And kudos for the no sugar - I am still trying to convince myself I could do it!
OOOh Washi tape...nomnomnom!
Necessity is the mother of invention - it's so easy to just spend money on something instead of looking around at what you already have that can be repurposed:) Cyndy
Very clever storage Mel. It only shows off your envy-worthy collection even better.
Great re-purposing there and your washi collection looks beautiful. In fact your blog looks beautiful and right up my alley...of to explore :0) Max x
