The problem with those little packs is they come in these dinky boxes that make it impossible to keep organized so I just toss them together in one big container. Well that definitely isn't a solution because when I want to use them I have to fish out each matching set... Waste of time, much? After a recent trip to Ikea, I snagged little spice jars that were the perfect size for each set. This is what I came up with:
They consist of: small jars (could easily be done with baby food jars), craft paper stickers, and stamped on words. I think they are a perfectly adorable and organized addition to my amazing space.
Materials:
Stamp sets
1 jar per stamp set
1 label per jar
ink pad
Instructions:
1. Get all of your stamps together
2. Sort by font
3. Gather enough jars for each set
4. Apply a sticker to the lid of each jar
5. Get the letters from each set for whatever word you want to spell out
6. Use a pretty color to stamp your word onto the sticker
7. I thought mine were lacking a certain something so I added a little stitch doodle on each to give some extra pop.
I had originally applied the stickers to the sides of the jars, but considering you view the jars from the top, I ripped those little babies off and put them on the lid. That way, I can easily see which set is which and only grab the stamps I want.
