Art Paper Storage

[SilverSabre25]

I need better organizing/arrangement solutions for the variety of art/drawing/construction/painting paper in all sorts of colors and variations on "rectangle" what I'm doing just isn't working.

I use a small drawer bin system. I think I got it at Walmart. Each drawer is two colors

I use the plastic drawers also, but my colors are mixed up I just grab a stack and let them pick from the stack.

I use this:


It works great but does take up quite a bit of space. It's made of cardboard, but it is very sturdy.

I have this one Silver

I think I paid $60 for it but it was MORE than worth it as I've had it for over 10+ years.

Otherwise here is the one Spud has:

You can also buy similar storage units at Michaels or Hobby Lobby in the scrap booking section. Michaels seems to always have theirs on sale so you can probably find one pretty cheap.

Oh, I love your wooden one, BC! I would have preferred that but had a spending cap . Maybe in the future I can upgrade!

I have several storage methods:
drawing paper is in a basket on a low shelf where kids can reach it
large watercolor paper and fingerpaint paper are stored in a closed cabinet for me to get as needed
easel paper on a tube stands in the corner
all variations of colored paper: construction, wallpaper, scrap gift wrap, etc, etc, etc. are in magazine storage boxes sorted by color. (wooden, from IKEA)

Same here. I got it for a dollar at the thrift store

I had a file drawer in a filing cabinet and used a hanging file folder for each color of construction paper. Any paper that was the size of construction paper had its own file including newsprint drawing paper, etc. Mine was a two drawer wooden file cabinet and I also kept my daycare files and any daycare worksheets in it. Very frugal since I already had the cabinet.

I have the trofast storange system from Ikea and I put the construction paper (and other special papers) in the top couple of bins.

I have this but got it full of paper from a garage sale for $8. I often see them for sale or for free on craigslist on businesses closing
