Acrylic Paint Storage
I saw this idea over at Funky Junk Interiors a while ago and finally got around to carrying it out in my craft room. I had an old Coca-Cola crate in the basement that I’ve been wanting to do something clever with and this fits the clever criteria for me. I cleaned it up with the hose outside and it gave it a light coat of clear polyurethane.
I grouped my acrylic paint colors by color family in the little cubbies and now I have a great acrylic craft paint storage solution. So much better than the plastic shoe boxes that my paints used to be stored in – I love it!

VERY nice solution for organizing your paints. U love when a thrifted item finally finds its purpose in your life 🙂
I love that brand of paint, very cheap yet still vibrant, perfect for crafts and you don’t feel guilty when you use a lot of one tube!

Amanda Says
That’s very smart! I have huge stacks of felt sheets that I need for my kid’s crafting job, and that’s the one thing I still haven’t figured out the best way to store. Still brainstorming!

It is necessary to clean the clutter and make sure that the old and the unwanted are cleared away.From dump and stack comes the problem of dirt and dust and thus mold.
