One of my favorite Stamping tools are my Sponge Daubers (see them online). But organizing them always seems to be a problem for me – They seem to pop up everywhere. Every time I open a drawer, pull out a project basket, or put away stamp sets it seems a few daubers fall out at me!

The other day I picked up some great boxes – PERFECT for organizing my daubers.

ETA: Many of you have asked where I found the boxes – I found them at a vendor fair. I was able to find a similar box on Amazon here – Sponge Dauber Storage Box

The .pdf of this chart is available on This Blog Post.

I printed up a chart to assign each spot a color (and but a fresh new set of daubers to fill the box). It holds 40 daubers – so this box gets the entire main color collection for SU. I picked up a second box for the In Colors and any other dauber needs that pop up.

and of course – because I'm me – I had to make the boxes a little prettier 🙂 So I decorated the tops w/some Designer Series Paper

I used Temporary adhesive to hold the DSP and color charts into the lid – that way I can change up the paper with whatever my current favorite is!

And just so you know I'm not kidding when I say I LOVE my daubers – I couldn't even get my photo box put up before using one of my shiny new daubers

    Hi I love the way you have organized these little critters. I am trying to download the chart, but I keep getting a blank page. I was wondering if you could possibly email on to me. If not I would understand.

    Wow! I don’t own a single dauber but I love how you store them. I might just have to start a dauber collection. 🙂
