I don't have any place to store them once full, inbetween biweekly pick-ups. My yard is large, many bags, and not in a position to fully compost yet. Thanks!!!

Can you take a picture of it, so viewers know what space you have to work with? What kind of paper crafting do you do? That would also affect any advice/
Share your thoughts! BRILLIANT!!!!
I bought some cheap shelves that have the square openings for use with baskets. You can buy inexpensive baskets or storage cubes at the dollar stores or big lots stores them use them to organize paper or accessories. I also use plastic storage containers that have drawers and pastors which are optional. I store inks and small things in them. Then you can move them around when working on a project. Hope this helps get you started.
I'd take a look at how the stores organize their aisles and try to duplicate that. Shelves, obviously - with separate ones divided into various tools and media that you use. Tools (scissors, cutters n' such) could be hung on pegboard or in dollar-store bins. Bins, too, for stamps, inks, ribbons and glue sticks. Same for the papers. Maybe one bin for each kind of paper. The highest shelf for works in progress and another with all your stickers and embellishments. (organized in a magazine holder or two) would be good, too.
Patty can you post a picture as it would help us answer you.
I would put a large table in the center with a chair. Then use shelves, book cases, baskets and file cabinets to store my papers and tools. When you start putting it all together you will think of so many good ideas.
What are you organizing, is there anything as far as furniture or shelving now?
if you're tight on space get some vertical cardboard magazine holders to store your paper upright. Take up less space and you're able to see your colors at a glance. You can go to the dollar store and buy clear containers so things are visible and try and label everything. They also sell the shower racks that you can zip tie together along with sink mats. Then take the tiny baskets that they usually sell for 2 or 3 for $1 and attach to the mats. Hang this to your wall for quick access to smaller items like scissors, washi tape, etc. I also found on the Facebook yard sale sites a multi drawer tower to keep my stickers, ribbon, punches, etc.
Purchase the 12x12 stacked plastic storage cabinets such as those sold at Walmart. Put your papers in and use chalboard labels to label each drawer's contents.
