Organizing your washi tape with Shelly

Shelly was born for washi tape. If you’re a “gottalittle” crafter you may find that 1 Shelly bag will be perfect to contain all of your washi, but if you’ve got a washi addiction like I do, you’ll need 3,4,5…

Organizing your washi tape is no different than organizing other craft supplies.  Follow the same steps, gather, sort, store, label – Voila! You’re done.

Step 1 – Round up your washi

Step 1 always seems to be the same when we’re going through the organization process.

Gather up as much of your washi tape as you can find.

Step 2 – Get your organizing tools – Shelly Buddy Bags

I’ve got 3 Shelly bags to tackle this pile.  There are around 50 rolls of washi in my pile.  A couple of them are pretty wide.  The interior of the Shelly bag is about 10.5″ or 27cm long, so she’ll hold about twenty,  1/2″ rolls.

Step 3 – Sort by Theme/Sentiment, Holidays/Calendar, and Color.

This is only a small portion of my washi collection.  As you probably have already guessed I’m partial to turquoise, so I’ve got a full Shelly bag of just that color.

Step 4 – load your Shelly bags

It’s fast and easy to load your Shelly Bags once your washi tape has been sorted into the 4 Section System (we did only use 3 sections this time).
As you filling your holiday bag you can easily put washi tapes in calendar order.
Colors can be arranged from light to dark and themes/sentiments can simply be organized alphabetically.

Step 6 – Label and Store

Thanks so much for stopping by today to see how I used our Shelly Buddy Bags to organize some of my washi tape.  I will admit that I have a problem with washi.

I hope you’ll pop back by throughout the week to see all of the other ways I’m using the Shelly Buddy Bag to get, and stay, organized.
