The problem with being an artist, or any type of creative for that matter, is that you end up with a plethora of supplies especially if you love to try new mediums. Then it becomes very difficult to make all your supplies easily accessible, organised and pleasing to the eye.
One of the main contenders for this craft supply nightmare I personally found was washi tape - so easy to collect and cheap. Which made them all the more difficult to store, I ended up throwing them all in a drawer that had trouble closing. Every time I wanted to use my favourite washi tape I had to sift through this drawer of washi tape hell to find the dang thing. So naturally, after refusing to get rid of any, I took to the internet and tried to find cheap, and easy solutions for not just washi tape but paints, stickers, brushes, markers and so on. And needless to say, I found a few options that'll suit everyone.
