artbabe I too store my stuff by collections and have a massive amount of stuff. I've used the clear bags that seal on top and also the large zip lock bags. I have a Kallax that I store everything in, and the bags fit fine as long as I fold the excess over. I used to store everything from the collection together but then I began to run out of room and had to take the washi, thickers and 6x6 or 6x8 paper pads out and store them separately to make more room. 😳 I also had to add the cubbies cause my 14 month old Grandson was having way too much fun pulling out my collections! Hope this helps!

I have the modular panel tower on the bottom turned on it’s side on top of Kallax cubes. These hold Iris boxes as well as two gallon bags easily. I used to store my punches in Iris cases in this before I reorganized my storage last week. There is also a modular cube with one shelf that will hold 4 Iris cases.

I have some overflow fabric bins filled with collections that don't fit on my shelves. I recently put the bin inside these rolling crates and that makes it easier to move the bins out of the way.

I've also been eyeing these to put overflow bins on.

I think you need smaller bags.

I store my stuff as you mentioned (well, I usually take the diecut/ephemera packages out), in about a 13x13 zip top bag and use the Michaels cubes and most things are then in the storage studios paper holders that someone else posted. It took me a while to build up my collection of these, and I was also gifted some when someone was moving.

I do note on the front of a collection if I hvmave diecuts, a 6x6, washi, etc that aren't stored with it.

I tried the multipurpose bins from the Container store, and did not like them due to them tapering in at the bottom. That also meant they didn't make the most effective use of my space.

Thanks for posting these! I picked up a couple of plant caddies to put things on, especially in the area of the basement that sometimes floods. These will help elevate things!

There must be two different versions of these, because my multi-purpose bins from the Container Store do not taper at the bottom and hold paper really well. I love that I can grab them and go. I agree that bulky embellishments do not fit nicely.
