 Well, hello friends and welcome back to my channel today I'm gonna be sharing this washy overhaul project that I've been working on for a few weeks now This all started when I watched one of plan with lakens weekly vlogs if I can find the vlog I will put it up in a card for you guys She was saying to her vlog that this is how she stores all of her washy samples And it was just really great for travel and I'm like oh my gosh. I need that in my life So I started this project and I'm almost done with it But I've had so many questions in my daily vlogs as well as on Instagram and Facebook If I can share how I'm doing it and what I'm doing so this is this video So as some of you know that might be might have been following me for quite a while I did have a washy sample Etsy shop. Wow, that's kind of a multiple. Anyways, that business has closed Over a year ago two years ago something like that. Anyway, but I have a lot of washy samples Which are on these little bobbins, which I absolutely love that they're on the bobbins and For me, I would put them in these big Organizers so these are like for Organizing like string and other things like other crafty things, but I use them for my washy bobbins Anyway worked out great for a very long time But this method seems so much better By the way, this is the end of the washy that I have to do like this is it guys And the ones that are out here So I'm gonna show you these in a moment and kind of share with you my method to what I'm doing So just to like share this one. So this is like a floral Like a floral card I'm kind of doing them in themes and you can wrap several washe's on one card You can get like up to five washe's on one card just depending on like the height or thickness or whatever you want to call it So just kind of depends on how you want to do yours if you want to you know utilize this process so let me show you what I've been doing and This little bin is just some like bathroom bin I got from like bed bath and beyond like several years ago And it's like absolutely gorgeous and beautiful and I love the way it looks just like So I did like all of my like reds are on one card Clearly if you have more than you know this amount of washy and red you can have like two reds But it just made sense to me like I didn't want to do Like all my stripes or all my like diagonals or anything on one card when it came to my solids So here are all of my solids and then over here is kind of when I get into more of the decorative things So I'm just gonna pull out a couple just so you can kind of see the method to my mayhem So like for these ones like here's all of my like colorful dots or Polka dots if you will so I just have this all on one This is a like a gradient one. That's kind of pastelly Like this one here is all like travel themed so like all my airplanes and Let's see like this one here is kind of like wedding ish stuff So this is kind of like a wedding text and then we've got some Bow ties and then like long neck ties. So, you know, I don't know Just some fun stuff and then here we've got kind of like some school Stuff or office stuff. So I've got some push pins and you know Pencils and things like that. So very cute and here I've got some sports because you know sports Yeah, and then I've got like some food. So I've got like strawberries at some apples There's more apples and like a little bucket thing and then some carrots I don't know. This just it makes sense to me guys Like I don't know what would make sense to you and your organization But this all just made sense for me and like this one has like all my diagonals in the multicolor I don't know like I feel like this is gonna be so much better. I haven't found an actual like Bin or whatever that I want to store these in You know, this is just kind of a temporary little bit of a temporary solution to my problem But you know, there's a whole bunch over here as well So I did like all of my like Christmas and December holiday Stuff Here so as you can see some of them don't have like they're not all the way filled up So if I do come encounter with a another washy that I want to keep for like a you know Sample size or whatever and then I've got some like wintery ones more winter more winter I've got like an Easter one. This is kind of more wintery again, and then I have some floral I don't know. I just I just kind of really like the way that this is and then I've got some like Trees more trees some like, you know, weather outdoors stuff I've had a lot. I have a lot of florals you guys like look at all these florals and to be honest I don't use florals that often so Yeah, um, I mean I did convert some of my full rolls of washy into this So I just put I've had a lot of questions as to like how much I put on there So, I don't know if you guys can see this well. Hold on. Let me let me do me. I am so I just put as much washy As I want on it. So as you can see here we go so like you can see like these three are a lot thicker and this one is thinner so the reason being is this one was on a sample and Actually these three were on a full roll But I know in my heart of hearts in my little planning world. There is absolutely no way I could ever use a full roll of these three So I'd much rather have them condensed onto this rather than having the full roll because to be honest I'm not gonna use the whole thing and If I have them on these I feel like I'm more apt to use them because on these three I had never actually used Either any of these three so I had to take you know the cellophane off or whatever and then actually put them on here So, um, I don't know. It just kind of works for my brain. So here Let me show you kind of what I'm working on right now Let me zoom you back out. Sorry for all the zoomies guys. We got a lot of zoomies. Okay, so let's move this over here Here's what I'm working on now. So I have like some of my Halloween stuff. Oh, sorry. I have to zoom you back in Oh goodness gracious. Oh goodness gracious. Here we go Okay, all right, so I have like all my Halloween stuff and fall stuff out at the moment So that's kind of what I'm working on. I got these Little key cards. I think they're called key cards or ID badges or something on Amazon I did get a set of a hundred and I was thinking like oh my gosh, it's so many. I'm never gonna use all of them Legit guys. This is as many as I have left and I'm probably gonna use the majority of them So I'm kind of glad I got the lot of a hundred of them. You don't have to get a hundred I will link the one that I got below if you're interested, but you can get like a pack of 50 I think a pack of 25 like there's a different. There's lots of different options that it comes to these. They are like kind of glossy which I like and You know, they're about the size, you know, they're like the size of like an ID ID badge or like a driver's license or something But they are nice and thick and I like them. So Anyway The way that I kind of do this is like so say here are all of my like spider webs and then I kind of just group like items together So I'm probably gonna put this one here and then I'll probably have three to be honest So I've got two different leaf patterns. So those will go together for sure And then I've got here's some pumpkins. Well, but these are like both kind of jack-o-lanterns So these should go together and then the bats So I'll probably put it like This like that. Does that make sense? Oh, hold on. You can't even see half of it. Come on. I'm like get it together Does that make sense? That's kind of how I do it So I'm gonna actually fast forward like showing like how I do at least this one So I can show you what I'm doing because a lot of people have had a lot of questions So I'm gonna move these off to the side I just want to like kind of share with you the method to my mayhem of why I'm doing what I'm doing and I only have a couple more categories left. So I have all my patriotic stuff. I've got St. Patrick's Day I've got some summer things and I've got Valentine's things So, um, oh before I do this. Sorry, I'm totally all over the place today. I'm gonna show you my bag Here's my bag of things. I Just have this like plastic Ikea bag that is like one of the little zipper bags Let's share What I've been doing with this. Sorry about the audio you guys. So there have been like this Washi is beautiful and from Simply Gilded there is no way in the world that I would ever use a full roll of this so I rolled myself a sample and Put it on one of the cards that is in my little filing system And so the rest of this is going in here and this little area is all of my extra things things I know I won't use I also with every category have been kind of like downsizing as well So just kind of going through everything like this one looks familiar, right? Well, it's already on here and I have a very thick Amount there's no way I need that much So if I have extra samples, which a lot of them I do have extra samples of I'll put the extra one in here Because this is all gonna go to my local planning group Just for like a destash table and then there's some things like here is like a leaf washi that I know I don't want so I'm just gonna put it in there and someone else can grab it or take it So yeah, but a lot of the full rolls. I already have or I just don't appeal to me anymore and Yeah, so It's just it's just a lot you guys. It's just a lot and You know, I I always encourage, you know, if you're not using something to pass it along to someone that might use it Nothing is wrong with any of these things but again the ones I know I will use I Rolled out a really thick sample for myself on one of these cards and I think that is gonna be it It's just gonna make my life a little bit less cluttered, which is the goal of everything So yeah, I just wanted to show you what I was doing with that. So let's move these aside and Let me show you how I do this so I just find the end of my washi which is right here which is already peeling up and Some of the washi if you've had it for a while, it might not be the best to be like completely honest and then what I do here is I just kind of lay it down as evenly as possible and then I start wrapping it's kind of a tedious process so usually when I do this I will have like Netflix on or a podcast in the background or something But yeah, I'm probably gonna get questions on to like where I got all of the washi and to be honest I've gotten it at lots of places. I've gotten it off of Etsy. I've gotten it from other meetups and swaps and giveaways and things like that lots of different companies have washi and I Don't know. I kind of like what I like and I don't really have I don't know I don't really have a washi style I just feel like after being in the decorative planning world for a while I kind of know what I like and I know what I really don't like You know, I kind of always have to think about it like like for instance the one that I'm rolling out right now I have to use this in this way like I have to lay it in my planner this way Like I can't really lay it that way because there is words on it. So I have to think about that I tend to gravitate more towards things that I Can use any way whether it be vertical or horizontal Hence all of the like spider webs. I can use any way I'd like and a lot of my washi is like that So I really do enjoy that. There are some that clearly you can only use one way, but I don't know I just don't have a ton of that stuff. I have I have some I just don't have a ton and I don't know that just one of those things that makes me happy I just like To have You know flexibility in my planner and to you know, make make pretty things And to look at my weekly spreads and my monthly spreads or budgets or whatever I'm gonna decorate and just you know, feel good about it at the end of the day So yeah, this is a really fun one. I think I got this particular washi I can't remember exactly where I got I want to say I got it at Crafts direct in st. Cloud, Minnesota. I just I really like this one. I think this is fun Like I said, I'm not a big Word washi person. Actually, I think this might be one of my only word washes that I have I'm not a word washi kind of person. Oh, no, I do have like a Patriotic one. I haven't gotten to that one yet Like I said, I haven't done that category yet, but I don't know I just really like this one some something really appeals to me about it. So, I don't know I think we all have our own personal options and Opinions when it comes to, you know washing and stickers and I don't know really really anything and I don't know kind of it's what I like and then I just move it all around the card and You know, some some washes are easier to lay down straight than others Just kind of depends and some of these washes to be honest I've had on these bobbins for a long time and some of them I had a real problem with trying to pull them off And I would have had that problem no matter if I was converting to this system or if I was trying to use it in a planner So some of them unfortunately went into the trash, which really sucks but it was time, you know, the adhesive doesn't last forever as we all know and People always ask I cannot talk today. People have also asked about like the stickiness and what I would do about the stickiness of them The stickiness is really about the brand of the manufacturer not necessarily how many times you've moved it I mean moving it several times is probably not the best thing for it to be honest If you have a problem with it sticking again like on your paper, so this one is all done Oh, sorry you guys for that what you can do is you can grab on this is a little tape runner that I use This is called Tombow mono permanent adhesive. It's a little tape runner You can put it right on the paper and then lay your washi right over it if you're having a problem with you know It's sticking. This has helped me in the past You know combat that issue and sometimes to be honest right off of the roll I've had that issue just depending on some washi tape manufacturers or what's on the washi tape or whatever So anyway, that's that that card's all done now. So anyway, that is how I have been using this project I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I know this is kind of just a basic video on how I'm storing my washi I will be doing a washi collection video at some point and Probably next month. I think someone next month. I think I think this is when I have it scheduled I haven't filmed it yet But I will be sharing all the washi that's in here because I know I didn't go through everything because it's kind of a lot And then I'll also be sharing my full rolls and things that I've decided to keep in a full roll as well So and by that time I'll have all my washi Wrapped and put in here as well And I don't I don't know if I'm gonna keep it in this Physical thing or if I'm going to actually find a different actual storage solution for it But I really like the way that it looks. I like it when it's sitting like this I also like when it's sitting up like this as well. So I think that You know, this is a a nice little alternative to the washi samples at least for myself So I hope you guys got some value out of this today and you enjoyed seeing what I'm doing and If you have any questions, feel free to put them down in the comments below I will link everything that I'm using here down below as well or at least as many things as I can find I hope you guys are having a wonderful day.
