About a month ago I decided I’d had enough of scrapbooking and packed up all my scrapbooking supplies. The question was what to do with all my 12 x 12 sheets of paper. I didn’t want to get rid of it only because I still have to finish off the baby’s first year album and of course the kids will use it for their crafts. Did you know a large pizza box will fit these papers perfectly? How cool is that!! So off I went to my local pizzeria and asked to purchase some large pizza boxes and the lady was kind enough to give them to me for free!! So now I have my papers tucked neatly away in my storage room and I don’t have to worry about them getting bent or torn and of course they stack beautifully!
Cheap storage solutions definitely Work for Me!!!!

That is a great idea!
I’m going to do that for my gift wrap – I have a box but it is too small and I think this will be perfect.
Have a great Valentine’s Day.
Great idea! I’m a dedicated box saver.
When I taught kindergarten we used pizza boxes to store the kids work which is often oversized or lumpy. We called them the Pizza Portfolios.
Joe Corbis sells pizza kits for fundraisers and their boxes are the best. I cover one for each child each year with contact paper, add a label, and use it to store their favorite keepsake works from school that year.
Great idea!
What a perfect fit! I love your idea. I will have to see if I can acquire some.
You are so very smart! I would have never, ever thought of that. I will have to dash down to our little pizza shop to see if I can get some from them. You are really resourceful, Laura.
Happy Valentines Day!
Thats a creative storage idea. Thanks for sharing this tip.
Even for current scrapbooker’s… what a GREAT idea!
Great idea and that’s awesome that you got them for free!
I love your new labels! Aren’t they the best! My head is still spinning from the organizational joy of it!
That’s so amazingly creative!! Wow!
What a great tip. I will have to share that with my girlfriends who scrapbook.
Way to think “outside the box!”
What a great idea!
Are you a mind reader or what? I was just pondering how to store my paper the other day!
Great idea! Thanks!
You are definitely the queen of clever ideas :) !! Thanks for sharing. My oversize paper drives me crazy, but now I have a solution.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I LOVE this idea! :-)
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Laura! Great idea!
I’m out saying hi to everyone and trying to catch up.
Have an awesome day!
Scrapbooking paper in pizza boxes…check. Then where do you store the pizza boxes???
Hi everyone!
Lynn ~ I have a storage room in my basement so that is just where I have mine stored for the time being. That could always change tomorrow though…lol!

I’ve been organizing my craft closet lately and this idea will help. I may even try to see if pizza boxes will work for storing felt.
Thanks for the idea!
Pizza boxes are great for all kinds of storage! I use them for kids puzzles, games that the original boxes are broken for.
How clever!! I would have never thought to look for pizza boxes since I don’t have plans to open a pizzeria anytime soon. lol
That is an awesome tip! You are so cool!
Hey, that’s cool! I bet I could get free pizza boxes, too!! :)
I use pizza boxes for my quilt projects. You are lucky tho, I cannot find any pizza places to purchase from even! I enjoyed your blog.
Fab-you-luss!
I’m so snatchin’ this idea and doin’ a runner. =P
I saw a link to this post over at Craft Critique today (www.craftcritique.com). Great information!! Keep up the good work!!
This is a great idea. I think we’re having pizza for dinner so I can stop by and get some boxes!
One of our local scrapbook stores fills large pizza boxes with a variety of papers, embellishments, ribbon, stickers, etc. and sells them for $20.00. You get a load of supplies worth WAY more than $20.00! Then I use those to store paper I already have! I know a lot of people decorate the boxes for art projects as well as storage. Thanks for sharing the idea about pizza boxes!

Pizza box idea is great! I just discovered another site that you might find interesting. It’s http://www.hobartforthehome.com. They have organizational furniture that you can lay your art down flat in and an area to put your kids toys in. Not bad idea if you want your storage unit to be a home decoration as well.
