I've amassed quite the collection of acrylic paints and sprays and I've been keeping them in wood boxes I got in the Target dollar spot, but I've outgrown that. I don't really want to have it in something that takes up my work surface so I'd rather have something that fits in a drawer or in an Expedit style shelf or something wall mounted. I've seen cool things on pinterest where people use spice racks, etc. for wall mounted storage, but I'm not sure I want to commit to that many holes in the walls.
Maybe I need to just really edit down my color palette and get rid of a bunch.
How do you store your acrylic paints and sprays?

My scrappy related paints and mists are just are in a photo storage box and I have it labeled mixed media and kept on a shelf. I have a enamelware bowl of small tubes of acrylic that I use for screen printing. I have a few favorites out lined up on a shelf so they are easy to grab. Just basic ones are kept in a plastic storage drawer unit (a deep drawer so they stand up) and not in my craft room as it seems my kids use those more for their projects than I do. I'm a big fan of keeping things that you use a lot visible and I've seen some cool storage ideas on pinterest.

I have three systems because I have tons of paint. You can see them all here (click photo to enlarge):  |

I have mine piled into a basket that fits into an expedit /kallax shelf. The big jars and sprays are piled into a second basket. But I really don't like my "system" because I'm always worried that one day I'll have a spill, so I'll be watching this thread for a better idea.

Right now mine are stored in plastic containers on my expidet shelf. Having all the paints, ink, etc. on a rolling cart may prompt me to use them more. |

linkNot sure if this will work, but I had 100 different storage containers before I watched this video. I have about three cases full of paint stored this way. If that doesn't link correctly, search YT for Craft Project Whiplash Craft Room Organization Series #8 Craft Paint Storage

Most of my paint is in a Raskog cart divided by type (bottles, tubes, sprays, etc) except for my flat Dylusions jars which are in an Ikea paper tray organizer in the Expedit unit closest to my craft table.

If that doesn't link correctly, search YT for Craft Project Whiplash Craft Room Organization Series #8 Craft Paint Storage Oh, this might work! I even already have one of those cases for storing embellishments, so I can test it out. If I got a new one, I'm also imagining repurposing the photo cases to hold ephemera/die cut packs. I like the idea of grabbing one and challenging myself to use up whatever is in it! So this idea is possibly a twofer! TFS @ quinmm14 While I like the idea of a Raskog, I don't need to take up any more floor space. |
