Although scrapbooking is a blast, before long you end up with a ton of scrapbooking supplies and no where to put them. Your worries are over because today we are going to make our own scrapbooking organizer.

Soon you will be able to keep all those fun supplies and materials in one place.

What you will need:

- A medium sized shelf that you can devote entirely to your scrapbooking. (You can find this at a home decorating store or an office supply store.)

- 4 or 5 paper racks. The ones that lay down and hold your documents or paper flat without folding. (You can find these at office supply stores.)

- Several medium sized bins or baskets that will fit perfectly on your shelf. (You should be able to find these at any home design store, or office supplies store.)

- Polaroid camera.

- Permanent markers.

- Small Ziploc bags for stickers, beads, etc.

- Hot glue gun.

Now it is time to put it all together:

1. To begin you want to find the perfect spot for your scrapbooking shelf. A few great places would be the basement, storage room or even your home office.

2. Set up your shelf in it's designated area, then get all of your other supplies ready in a good working location. Be sure to have your scrapbooking supplies available as well.

3. Label each bin for the types of materials it will hold. For example, if you have 5 bins, use one for markers, pens, glue sticks, crayons, paints, and stamps. Create a bin for every category of supplies. You can use another bin for ribbons, lace, leather, paper flowers, and things like this.

Your last bin should be named miscellaneous for things that don't really go in any of the other bins.

4. Now, assemble every item that will be placed in one particular scrapbooking organizer bin. Take a picture of these items with your Polaroid camera. Hot glue your picture to the front of the bin or basket carefully. If you don't have a camera, you can always just make a label out of markers.

5. Gather your different papers and place them in the scrapbooking organizer paper racks. This will ensure that you are able to find a particular type of paper quickly for projects.

6. Now simply place the bins up on the shelf and you are ready to go. Voila!
