Storing Unopened Clay

In 2012, I undertook a total reorganization of my Craft Room. You can see more pix of that in this post.

The barely visible black object in the center of the photo to the left, behind my chair, is my solution to storage for my unopened clays.

I purchased this cabinet at Hobby Lobby.  You may already know that Hobby Lobby discounts their furniture 30% every day. But did you know that you can save an additional 10%? When you get ready to check out, ask the cashier to charge the regular price of the furniture and let you use your 40% off coupon! BTW, I couldn't find a link to it on Hobby Lobby's site.

Make no mistake, I am NOT an organization guru.  In fact, much to the contrary!  But I wanted to have all of my unopened clays in one place so I knew what I was running low on or had available for use.

As you can see, I have a label maker in my craft room. The clays are organized by brand and further by type, so the Premo clays are in a separate drawer from the Premo Accents. The drawers aren't labeled that way because I often have to shift them around when I restock.

There is also a cabinet door at the bottom. You can see a little of it in the picture above right. I use it to store bulk clays. For instance, I sometimes use the original Sculpey when making pen bases or roofs on my fairy houses.

HAPPY CLAYING!
