Are your stencils out of control?

Hi Friends! Last weekend I came up with a new and better way to store my stencils and it cost less than $10. Have a look:

It was really just an update of this method but I love how I can grab all of my messy stencils and take them wherever I want to work. My other templates (tracing and cutting ones) live in a binder I can flip through but for the messy ones it does the trick.

Here are the categories I have my stencils sorted in:

• Small stencils (6″x6″ and smaller in the front of the divider so I can see them from the outside)

• 12″x12″ background stencils-store bought

• 12″x12″ background stencils-handmade

• 8.5″x11″ stencil backgrounds

• DCWV brand 12″x12″ stencils

• Oriental Trading 12″x12″ stencils*All others are 8.5″x11″

• Basic Shapes

• Nature

• Borders/Designs

• Occasion

The only ones that do not work in the Darice Spectrafile are my large decor and homemade hot glue stencils. I hope this gives you some ideas to corral your stencil stash. Happy crafting!
