Ok other than your Atg or other major adhesive.... how do you store your pop dots and other items such as this? Trying to desperately clean up my stamping space which is very limited and needing ideas.
I keep mine in a canvas storage bin. I store my essential tools (paper trimmer, adhesives, bone folder, bling , etc.) in this bin. I pull this bin off my shelf each time I scrap.
I use a big spinning desk thing from Staples- it's black. All of my adhesives fit there, although the glue dots have to come out of their box to fit in the pockets. Lots of space for narrow things like pens, and bigger tall things like big scissors in the center 'well'.
I have a small plastic basket (the kind at the dollar store!) that I put them in. They are in a drawer right next to me. Actually, I have two 2 drawer filing cabinets and on top of that is a remnant 5' countertop. It makes a great work area and I can easily open the drawers to find what I need!

I have mine in a hanging basket that hangs from my towel bar from Ikea. In reach and an organized place for all my adhesives.

I love spending as much time as possible in my Color Studio
Thanks for all the ideas ladies... I need to take a pic of my craft space I think... and see what you all think... I tend to want everything at my fingertips so I can see it and use it but I think I am going to have to get used to having things in storage and get it out as I need it. Such limited space.
I have a little plastic bucket, about 6"x6" from the $$ store, (it even has a cheesy happy face on it) that sits on my desk. I store all of my sheets of dots and rolls of pop up dots in it and it is at my fingertips when I need it!
For my tombow mono glue, I just place it upside down in the same bin and it is ready to use when the lid comes off!
My desk has shelves on each side that I use for supplies I use all the time. I keep them in wicker baskets - I can reach and pull out all my adhesives in one basket.
I have mine in a rolling cart with drawers, and one is for those specific types of semi-basic supplies. I have one drawer that holds any kind of adhesive, one for embossing, one for coloring, etc. I can roll it away when I don't need it, too.
I keep mine in one of those small three drawer Sterlite containers in a cupboard directly underneath where I stamp - I am a "stander" so I get an extra cupboard for storage where there might normally be an open space.
The container is the one on the right, the top drawer houses dimensionals, glue dots, tape runner, spare Scor-Tape rolls, etc. The second drawer liquid glues and glue sticks, and the third drawer houses my acrylic blocks.
I have those same drawer units as above. One of them is all adhesives. In one of the drawers I have a transparent box with about 8 or so compartments. The compartments are about 1 1/4 by 6-8 inches. I take all the different pop dots and lines out of packaging and store them in the compartments. This way, I just take the box out of the drawer when needed and can easily select the right dot or line.
