Tip Thursday! I bought some pretty embossing powders while at Ipswich Papercraft Show. I can hear you saying "But you have embossing powders in your shop! Why did you buy elsewhere?!?"
1) I don't have access to these colors in my shop.
2) I saw them on sale and I helped out a fellow exhibitor with a sale.
3) They were $8.50 each or 2/$15.
4) I didn't have to pay for shipping!
Normally, when I use embossing powders, it's a bit of a struggle to get the lids off or to pour back into such a small container. I decided to decant my new embossing powders into our Clear Jars instead. They are wider and shallower, and I find them easier to hold without potentially busting the lids. Et voila, I can now see my powders better and I have more control over pouring them.

These are standard size jars of Ranger embossing powder.

These look so appetizing and easier to craft with now.

A lot of people use the
jars for storing
loose gems,
sequins,
shaker bits,
ribbons,
brads,
antistatic pouches,
wooden buttons,
acrylic shapes, snacks, and even packets of diamond dots!

I put all of my powders, my heat tool, and my antistatic pouch into a basket in my trolley. I have a lid for my trolley too.

Et voila! Easy to see, easy to grab, easy to put away when finished.
