I got a bright idea, and asked the local pizza parlor for a couple of extra large new pizza boxes. I cut up some cardboard strips and taped them lengthwise to make dividers. Then I could fill each slot with pinks or blues or yellows, etc. <br />It's not as fancy as your idea, but it worked for me. As I gathered more and more quilling papers, I filed the bags in a plastic box - easy to get to, easy to see. But then I don't intend to open a quilling store!sonomarosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149780025090144656.post-15768872546894220552011-07-15T08:56:05.125-07:002011-07-15T08:56:05.125-07:00Thanks so much for this :)I quill using a tray whi...Thanks so much for this :)I quill using a tray while I sit on the sofa while I listen to the TV. I end up surrounded by paper strips, lol. I do use a craft cart that has three drawers. One is for unopened packages of paper, one for wide paper strips and one for opened packages and pieces I store in baggies. My coffee table is covered with bottles of glue, dishes of completed flowers and shapes, patterns, graph paper, you name it along with the three or four current projects. (I can't just work on one at a time) If I used your idea and created a board to store my paper I could use my drawers for all the stuff laying on my coffee table. Plus I will be able to actually FIND the colors I need and know just what I need to buy next before I run out.Jealithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764421983896022668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149780025090144656.post-12829844065036857972011-07-14T15:20:15.540-07:002011-07-14T15:20:15.540-07:00I keep my strips in a #10 (business) envelope.

Bending the 24" strips in half I stick the curved bend in the envelope and the end stick out. I put the envelopes by color in a box lid that is about 12" wide that allows for the ends of each color to stick out of the envelope. I don't pack then in tightly so they don't get crushed. I also paste a strip of each color on the envelope so I can see at a glance what colors I have.

And the portability is one of the best aspects. Thanks a lot.maureen schutznoreply@blogger.com
