I actually stole this idea from Marie but will post it here anyway. Crafting is kind of like going down a long rabbit hole. You start out with just a few supplies but it quickly can turn into a heap in the corner of your bedroom that your cats sleep on and you have to step over unless you are careful. This is why I learned from the masters that organized crafting is the best crafting. I am still not the best at this, but slowly am picking up speed. Here is a simple way to organize your magazine cut outs so that you don’t have stacks of magazines hanging around your house just waiting to be modge podged. It also saves you a lot time when you want to make something because all the coolest pictures are neatly organized in this bin.

Materials needed:

-File folder
-Magazines
-Marker

1. Take your stack of magazines and tear out anything you think could be used in a future collage. Then try to categorize them and make little tabs like this:

2. After you have filed away all your magazines throw the old ones away. Resist the urge to be a pack rat and bam, now you have an organized magazine file just waiting to be used for modge podging.
