Distress storage

I posted these on my personal blog but decided to post here also.  I have been making some storage towers for my Distress Ink pads, DI refills and Distress Stains. I lifted the idea for the DI pads from a lady in Australia. This is the link to her blog http://ozegran.blogspot.com/2012/09/distress-ink-storage-unit-finished.html . I did this because I was having to pick up several ink pads (or maybe all 48) before I found the one I wanted and this has completely eliminated that.

After I finished this for my DI ink pads, I realized I have been doing the same thing with all 48 DI refill bottles. Plus they were in a big storage box and fell over everytime I touched the box. So I decided to create a storage tower for the refills. I used the same basic idea as the one for the pads but because the bottles needed to be tipped back to stay in the tower it was more complicated but not difficult to complete. And here is the finished tower.
Now I have all of the Distress Stains also, so I decided just by making the boxes a little larger I could make a tower to hold them also. And here it is.
All of these have been covered with TH "Lost and Found" paper. I really am pleased with the way they have turned out.
This is a picture of all three together.

I would be willing to teach a class on creating these if anyone is interested. Please come by the store or give me a call 575-706-3447.

Have a great rest of the weekend.
Hugs,
Delo
