One of my favorite Stamping tools are my Sponge Daubers (see them online). But organizing them always seems to be a problem for me - They seem to pop up everywhere. Everytime I open a drawer, pull out a project basket, or put away stamp sets it seems a few daubers fall out at me!
The other day I picked up some great boxes - PERFECT for organizing my daubers.
ETA: Many of you have asked where I found the boxes - I found them at a vender fair but I looked online and was able to find them listed on Amazon - Sponge Dauber Storage Box
The .pdf of this chart is avaliable on This Blog Post.
I printed up a chart to assign each spot a color (and but a fresh new set of daubers to fill the box). It holds 40 daubers - so this box gets the entire main color collection for SU. I picked up a second box for the In Colors and any other dauber needs that pop up.
and of course - because I'm me - I had to make the boxes a little prettier :) So I decorated the tops w/some Designer Series Paper
I used Temperary adhesive to hold the DSP and color charts into the lid - that way I can change up the paper with whatever my current favorite is!
And just so you know I'm not kidding when I say I LOVE my daubers - I couldn't even get my photo box put up before using one of my shiney new daubers
Today's the last day of Sale-a-bration - and a GREAT time to stock up on things like Sponge Daubers and paper while earning FREE stamp sets!! If you have a few things on your re-stock list jump over and shop now to take advantage of the SAB special! Just click on my name below...
How sweet of you to share the chart with us. My sweet upline just gave me the organizer and I can't wait to line up these little soldiers. Thanks a bunch. Blessings, Diane

Boy do I ever feel stupid for paying $55 for this now!!! I can't believe another SU Demo would do that to other Demos!!!!

Wow! I don't own a single dauber but I love how you store them. I might just have to start a dauber collection. :)

Hi I love the way you have organized these little critters. I am trying to download the chart, but I keep getting a blank page. I was wondering if you could possibly email on to me. If not I would understand.
