Default 6 x 6 and 8 x 8 paper storage ideas

I have shelves for 12 x 12 and 8 1/2 x 11 paper that work wonderfully! Does anyone have ideas for storage for 6 x 6 and 8 x 8 paper?

The Jetmax 4 drawer cube fits most 6 x 6 pads. I use this to store my Basic Grey, SU!, Bo Bunny, and Kaiser pads. The only ones that I own that don't fit into these drawers are the Cosmo Cricket mini deck, and SEI 6 x 6 pads.

I found some empty boxes from Costco that held the bottles of epsom salts. They are just perfect for the paper. I have filed them with dividers and you can just finger through them. Also the picture boxes that M's sells would work for this. I keep them right by my desk so I have my design paper right at hand to work with.

I keep mine in a CD storage shelf. You can see it in this picture on the left hand side. The shelves are adjustable so I can fit my 6x6 pads as well as the 8x8. (You can see the 8x8 on the top shelves.)

Kirsty where did you get that CD shelf? I like that the shelves are adjustable!

I'm pretty sure this is the shelf I got:
Tvilum-Scanbirk - 4806949 - Spectrum 46" Bookcase and CD Tower in White | Racks and Stands

You can find other shelves wider, taller, different color, etc. I needed one that would fit in that specific spot and I wanted white to match my Jetmax cubes. That was pretty much the ONLY one I could find that would fit where I needed it to. If I don't slow down, I may need to find the floor space for the 80" tall one. :p

I just use baskets and put my 6x6 or 8x8 paper pads in them. Then I can flip through them to find what collection I want to use. Been storing them this way for a couple years now and it works well for me.

I use mrechandise display risers - you see in the lower left corner of the picture. I turn them upside down and they work great and they are affordable.

You can see them in my stamproom - lower left

Thanks, I have to be really organized because I'm a really messy stamper. My gallery has lots of pics and explanations about where I bought things.

Everything that I use most often is in my "cockpit" area. I am really lucky to have a little piece of stamping heaven.

Yes! I was just going to post exact thing when I read your comment!!
I wish I could stand the CC pads on end, like all the others... but noooooo, they have to lay down flat in the drawer. *groan!*

They fit perfectly in toy bins! I used to use a toy bin unit I altered for my room. When I moved rooms, I purchased a piece from Hobby Lobby that works beautifully too. Here are both links so you can see what might work best for you.

I keep my 6 x 6 paper in four stacks in the 3-drawer 12 x 12 Sterilite units. So far it works for me!

Right now I am using a Plastic snap lid container. It's an 8x8 size and will hold 6x6 designer paper or card stock.

Thanks Nancy! My parents found that for me during one of their antiquing trips though we are pretty sure it is not an antique. Still beautiful to me, and it stores lots of great goodies!

I have a very small stamping area so limited space! I went vertical and have mine all lined up with the spine facing out. In order to keep track of all patterned paper pads (12x12, 8x8 and 6x6), I have written the name on the (glued) spine side in sharpie. I write the brand and the title on each. This works really well for me! That way I know which is which without having to take them all out.
