I decided I needed more craft storage but I needed to keep it frugal. Having made storage for my Promarkers the next thing was storage for the Perfect Pearls. I bought a baking tray for a pound and everything else is from stash.

I used some plastic reinforcers with rivets from packaging and stuck them to the back of the tray. I then threaded ribbon through them to hang it up.
I made the background paper using Craft Artist and printed it onto pearlescent paper.

I added flowers and skeleton leaves to one corner of the tray.

I used punches to create this rosette with scraps of paper. I added a gem from a pin to the middle.
I coloured the edges of the tray using dabs of alcohol inks and pearlescent ink.

I cut and stuck magnets to the back of the Perfect Pearls.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Corrosive Challenges – Another Dimension
Anything Goes Challenge – Altered Projects (anything but a card)
Papercraft Star – photo inspiration with lovely bright colours (I decided on turquoise and pink) for inspiration plus something from kitchen
Crop Stop – Include at least 3 flowers
The Crazy Challenge – Use a Die or Punch
One Stitch At A Time – Use a Digi OR No image

I’ve been making some storage and I’ve finally finished the first 2 sections! Bearing in mind I’ve only been cardmaking for about 5 months it probably isn’t the best storage ever made and it is wonky in places. I’m really proud of it though and as I’m making it to suit my needs it is perfect for me. It is very MSE as I made it from mountboard and card from stash.
I made drawer sections from mountboard and then stuck them together. I reused some corrugated cardboard packaging and more mountboard to make an outer skin.

The drawers are for my Promarkers. I used the Letraset chart, coloured it in and mounted each portion to the front of each drawer. The drawer holds all the markers for that section of the chart and the drawers are colour coded for ease of use. The markers are in the right order in the drawer 😉

The drawers were made to measure.

The second section of storage is for my distress inks and perfect pearls. The drawers are colour coded again. I attach my blender pad to the ink pad using adhesive velcro. I also have a sponge dauber for each of them in the drawer.

This is the second storage unit.

The storage so far. I plan to make more tomorrow and play around with the layout!

More to follow!……
