Since
I do not have a lot of extra space in my small apartment I have to make sure
everything has its own place . That place for my recycle papers that I use to
make my paper beads is this plastic bin.
I just love how each
papers container fits nicely into each other to help keep this main bin all nice
and organized for me. This also helps me to not get to carried away with the
amount of paper I store.
In this bin I keep 3
separate containers for my papers of choice. For my Paper beads I prefer to use
the pages from spiral note books mainly as I am always making notes on crafty
ideas and have tons of these. Every 4-6 months I go threw them all ripping out
pages that I no longer need and transferring the ideas I want to keep to a main
note books on whatever craft they are for.
The large plastic
container is where store old Avon books and other magazines that I no longer
have a use for, and old printer paper that is either printed wrong or has
served its purpose.
This smaller
container holds pages from all of these smaller types of spiral notebooks.
The medium wicker
basket holds pages from medium spiral notebooks.
When I need more
paper to make my paper beads I then pick one of the containers and prepare
them for use in my paper bead creation.
I use this effective
little paper cutter to trim off all of the tattered ends caused from ripping them
out of the notebooks.
I toss all of theses
paper trimmings into a separate container.
Later I will use
these paper scraps to make my home made papers.

When I am all done I
end up having a good supply of nicely trimmed papers just waiting on me so that
I can make all the paper beads my little heart desires.
