My wafer thin metal storage is a mess and I desperately needed to organize it so I could find my dies and actually use them!! They were in such a huge mess that I hated to delve into the stash and find the one to use since they would just spill on to the floor when I opened my cabinet. So here is my way to fix this problem so I can find the die I want to use and not break the bank on a way to store them!!
I used a couple of different methods to store the dies, but the main idea is to use a thick cardstock with a Deflecto magnetic sheet glued to it with Beacon Power Tac glue and slip these magnetic sheets into a plastic Deflecto pouch (or when I ran out a plastic wrapper the dies came in) and then place the pouches in a Heidi Swapp Memory book I had laying around.
Check out my full video tutorial on how I made this DIY Wafter Thin Die Storage below!
Now I can find my dies very easily so I will use them more and also store them on a shelf and they look pretty and not just a giant mess!!
I can even store my stamps and dies that work together in one pouch!!! Double win!!
