A Quick Tip!

Here is a tip that will help you keep your Heat tool accessible, out of the way and stored safely! I took the metal stand off the tool and reversed it. Now I can hang it in my work area; the hot tip will not come in contact with all my paper scraps, and it's out of my way! I even strung the cord up and over my head... my studio is in my unfinished basement so I have a bunch of pipes above me... plenty of places to hang things!

I like keeping my supplies accessible this way; especially embossing materials that can be cumbersome to use otherwise. See in the the picture below... to the right of my Heat Tool? That is a stack of Rubbermaid trays filled with embossing powders. They are kept handy and ready to use this way! No more cleaning trays off after each use or spilling powders!

Sarah, how big are those containers? I am always spilling.. and if I have something handy I might be more tempted to emboss...
