Description
I'm a stencil junkie... both purchased and my own... as such, I have a ton of them in all sizes. Now, granted, I probably have an excess of supplies for my tiny apartment which serves more as a studio than a living space, still, I am always seeking to organize my supplies so I can find what I want when I need it. All that disclosed, I had been looking for a system to organize my stencils when I ran across a YouTube video explaining out 12x12 photo sleeves were the answer. The sleeves could be purchased with the opening full size or divided into 4 6x6 sections... perfect! NOT! It was also recommended that I use the big 12x12 photo binders but once I filled them with the stencils, they became too heavy to handle comfortably... I was sad. What an investment! Then it hit me...
"Make your own covers, Silly Girl!"
And so I took the cardboard packaging from the sleeves and made covers out of them by collaging tissue paper on them and painting them to make them sturdy.
*This is one of those covers... the front cover of my 6x6 stencil collection.*
Needless to say, I'm excited about having recycled the cardboard to make this amazingly comfortable and easy to manage system. All total, I made three books and they are working out exceedingly well! Hooray!
