After opening the package I end up with a label which could get lost and the roll of stabilizer, so what to do? Our newspapers come in plastic sleeves, I save them and store the stabilizer in them with the label visible, rather than putting the label inside the roll of stabilizer. It is great for the water soluble stabilizers, especially in humid weather.
What a great way to reuse the plastic sleeves and organize at the same time. Thanks for the great tip. Keep recycling!
Kathleen what a wonderful Idea would not have thought of plastic sleeves now when I go shopping for my grocerys I will get the sleeves as some stores have plastic sleeves instead of the bags thank you for that tip
Wonderful idea. Thanks
Kathleen-
Yes, I too have started using the clear plastic newspaper sleeves with the label completely taped onto to store my stablizers.
I 95% of the time purchase Sulky’s large 12″ X 11 yds.rolls that come in the “hard case plastic package”. I store my stablizer in a scrapbook paper organzier drawer system which is 12.25″ X 12.25″ inside each drawer. Sulky’s plastic package is too long and high for the rolls to fit in a drawer. By removing their package and placing the stablizer into the newspaper sleeve I am able to store 4 FULL roll in a drawer.
I also save the cardboard rolls and if I ever have to purchase the small folded up packages – I immediately unfold them and place them on the cardboard roll. I find this method really helps smooth out the fold creases. It also works for the scraps of stablizers – I use the ponytail holders to keep them on the roll.
thanks for the tip………I have such a mess with my stabilizer, and this tip helped me to finally get it placed so I can find it when needed.
what a great idea! wish I could say great minds think alike but not this time. WOW! thank you and the pony tail holder idea is very good too ! Thannks for sharing everyone.
