Organizing: Turn ‘Em Upside Down
How many tiny bottles of paint, alcohol ink, glue, etc. you have taking up drawer or shelf space in the studio? If they are taking up valuable space, here is a fantastic idea from paper crafter Brianna Walling–it takes just a few magnets, some glue and an old baking sheet.
Attach a baking sheet or other flat sheet of metal (not aluminum … it won’t take magnets) to the underside of a shelf. If you have wire shelves, drill a couple holes and use ties to attach it, otherwise some well place screws should hold it to wooden shelving. Glue magnets onto the bottom of your bottles and pop them upside down onto the sheet. It’s a bit of space in your studio not often used and it keeps your paint and ink in the top of the bottle. Nice.

OH MY GOSH!!!! I have seen several ideas for storing these small ‘squeeze’ type bottles, but this one is the BEST! My studio desk has a hutch and the underside would be PERFECT to do this! That will free up an entire desk drawer!!!! Thank you so much!!!
I agree with Deborah – absolutely PERFECT!!!
this is brillant!
I’m moving soon and losing some space this will really help
Great idea this help to be more organize. Thanks
It gave me the idea of also putting the pearlex powder jars with magnets on the tops. Much better than in boxes where it is hard see the colors.
Thanks
