I’ve been thinking about our annual Christmas Open House and trying to decide on an invitation design. I usually have it nailed down by now, if not totally done, so am feeling a little behind schedule here. While thinking about the invites, I was a bit sidetracked by my little bottles of Stickles. Stickles are glue/glitter that are used to decorate craft projects, scrapbooking pages, greeting cards, etc. I often use them on our Open House invitations.
If they are stored upside down, Stickles will go farther because the glitter glue will stay at the tip end of the bottle. I had pinned an idea for organizing Stickles bottles a few days ago and decided to do something similar with my own small collection. If I do it now, they will be ready for making invites when I’m ready…hopefully within a few days.
The idea I pinned used a sign board. I decided to just use the inside of a cabinet door. Nothing to sit on the counter. Out of the way, out of sight. That’s the way I like it. I started by putting a length of the hook side of self-adhesive Velcro tape to the inside of the cabinet door.
I cut a small piece of the loop side of the Velcro (the softer side) to attach to each bottle of Stickles. I placed it at the bottom of the bottle, so that when I am using the bottle, the Velcro won’t be in my way. That would bug me.
When each bottle had a piece of Velcro attached, I just stuck them on the Velcro strip inside the cabinet door.
I can swing my chair around, open the door, and pull off the bottle I need. Within reach and easy to use. Now all I have to do is decide on an invite design…
