It's time for the MFT Creative Chat. The My Favorite Things Design Team Creative Chat is a monthly feature, where we are challenged to explore our creative spaces and share valuable organizational methods, tools, and shopping strategies with you. You'll be able to peek into our creative spaces, ask questions, and share your own ideas in the MFT forum. This month, we were asked the following questions:
Show us how you store your embellishments.
What are your absolute favorite embellishments?
Any tips or tricks on how to use embellishments on stamped creations?
Visit Kim's Blog for a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge and get ready to delve into the minds of our creative team.
You can see my videos from previous chats here (Dienamics storage), here (cardstock and cardstock scrap storage), here (patterned paper storage), and here (desk layout). The desk layout video will be most helpful in seeing where these drawers are in relation to everything else.
If you've watched all my videos, you'll notice a trend. I like to have most everything within arms reach. My embellishments also need to be within arms reach, so I have three sets of drawers (one is stacked on another, on the right) to the right of my chair. The set on the left stores adhesive and ink refills, nesties, and large stamp sets.
The one on the right holds all of my embellishments or materials to make embellishments. Since the introduction of Dienamics, I don't have a need for as many embellishments as I used to. In particular, my flower collection is a lot smaller. I have a few of my favorites in the top drawer, just in case. In the other two drawers I store bling, glitter, washi tape, pre fab tags, pearls, and brads. My favorite embellishments are buttons and those are stored right on my desktop in glass jars.
Right below these drawers are larger drawers that hold felt, cork, denim, canvas and linen. I use these to make embellishments.

I like that you have your supplies "close at hand." I like to work that way as well. I'm lucky to have quite a large craft room, but with that, I have lost the "cozy" of having supplies nat hand. Now I spend a lot of time getting up and down, which is not a good thing. :( TFS another glimpse into your craft space. :)
love things close at hand ... love seeing where your store your embellishments
Love the close at hand plan!! Makes creating so much easier!!
