Video #718: A system that will help you to become a super smart shopper when it comes to stocking up on your arts and craft supplies.
In this video I show you how to set up an art supply inventory system that you can use in your paper planner. I also show how to adapt these ideas if you just want to have a small booklet that can easily fit in you purse.
In a previous video I demonstrated how to set up a planner for your studio, to help you stay organized with your projects. In that video I promise to share more info about my inventory system, so here it is.
When you have a lot of art supplies, like pencils, glues, paints, markers, inks, etc, it can get hard to know exactly what you already have in your stash, unless you have a way to keep track of everything. An inventory book or planner is a great way to avoid double purchasing the same items, instead of spending your hard earned dollars on other supplies that you don’t yet own.
My first system utilized a small blank journal, in which I put color swatches of different products, identified by the appropriate brand name. That system is simple and works quite nicely, as you will see in the video.
When I switched over to an A5 sized planner, I wanted to include the color swatches in to the planner using pocket pages and printed color charts. Now I am able to list products that I do have, which in tern helps me to also see what I don’t have yet.
Below this video I provide a long list of products I used for my inventory system and the links to the printable charts that I have found online. Feel free to add your own suggestions for color chart resources in the comment for this post.
