![]() ![]() You can put smaller quantities together to bulk it back up. So I do need to remember to keep the sheet level as I handle it. A loose fit in the row could result in it sliding out of the plastic sheet due to its own weight. ![]() Other than the paper being a loose fit within the row, it doesn’t seem too bad. When this happens, the paper can skew diagonally. As you use up your paper, it won’t have as much friction because there’s more room. To figure out the row width, all I did was slide some paper in, and pinched the plastic to see how much friction was there, when I slid it back and forth. Then detach the other side and slide the single strip out. To detach a strip, pull the paper out slightly on the left, and detach on this side. Its easiest to slide the paper in from the left, because the top piece of plastic is shorter than the plastic on the bottom. I plan to use Washi tape to remember the brand name and color.Īs I slide the papers in, the rows help tame the strips with a few taps. The clear plastic lets me find any color and check the width by turning the strips. The wider/thicker strips obviously needed more room, so there are less rows on this sheet. ![]() I grouped colors in warm, cool, multi color, and wider/thicker strips. I can stack several layers on top of each other in my drawer, and reach for a specific sheet, even if it’s on the bottom. The plastic sheets are very thin, so it takes up less space in the drawer. ![]() I needed to extend the plastic sleeve a bit, to make sure the ends don’t flop around, so I cut another plastic sheet into thirds and added it on the right. The conventional quilling paper I have my craft room are between 18 to 24” long, depending on the brand. Since the plastic sheet organizers were so perfect for storing my short strips, I was happy to find a large format or 11x17 inches sheet as well.

Best of all, I can store the leftover strips in the same area. I love how I can put them in a binder, or in a container on my desk to reach for any color. In a previous video, I showed how I organize my 11” quilling strips with a plastic sleeve. The binder is very condensed and great for travel too, especially if you’re just travelling to your kitchen table or couch. I could combine the similar colors together. I really didn’t like it when I reached for a new strip, only to find out I already had a half used one ready to go. I love how I can find the exact left over strip. This is also when I started using a binder for the left over strips ( read more here). Then I even used removable tape across the channels keep them fenced it. In the end, my foam core organizer looks nice and works in theory, but in reality, as I reach for a strip, it would jump out of the channel, so I wrapped paper bands around them to keep them tame. I liked how I could set the box on the open drawer, and make it behave like a table, and it didn’t need space on my desk, but it was a hassle to access the trays below. The foam core was the perfect height for protection against accidental crimping. It was meant to be like the cork board method without the pins. We moved again and I had more space, so I made a custom foam core box with dividing channels and notches to access trays below. ![]()
