Contain and Conquer Your 6x6 Supplies: A Simple Strategy for Making Smart Storage Decisions

When it comes to organizing your 6x6 supplies, the goal isn’t just to “put things away.” It’s to create a system that actually works for the way you craft. That starts with choosing the right containers, the right inserts, and the right structure so your supplies stay visible, accessible, and easy to use. With a little planning, you can conquer your 6x6 dies, stamps, stencils, scraps, and paper pads in just a few thoughtful steps.

Small & lightweight

The first decision is choosing your favorite 6x6 storage container. Each one has its own strengths, and the right choice depends on how you like to craft. If you want a small portable container with easy access, the 6x6 Paper Handle-It is hard to beat. It’s lightweight, compact, and perfect for keeping on your desktop or pulling on and off a shelf. Its smaller footprint also means it takes up less space while still holding a surprising amount.

Sturdy & Enclosed

If you prefer something sturdier and fully enclosed, the 6x6 File Master might be your match. Its locking lid makes it ideal for stacking, stashing, and protecting your supplies. It’s a great choice for long‑term storage or for crafters who like everything contained and secure.

Most Storage Capacity

Then there’s Fayleen—the powerhouse of the group. At 4 inches wide, she offers the most storage capacity of all three options. She zips closed, opens wide at the top, and gives you the flexibility to store a large number of pockets, folios, and paper pads in one place. If you want maximum storage with easy access, Fayleen delivers.

Easies Access

And now, don’t overlook Basic Box B. This box shines in deep drawers, cube shelving, and craft carts. Because you can connect multiple boxes together, you can build a custom storage solution that fits your space perfectly. Basic Box B isn’t ideal for travel or moving around, but it’s excellent for maximizing drawer space and keeping your 6x6 supplies visible and easy to reach.

Many crafters find that a combination of these containers works best. You might use Fayleen for bulk storage, the File Master for stacking and protecting categories you don’t reach for as often, the Paper Handler-It for the supplies you want right at your fingertips, and Basic Box B for drawer or cart organization. Thinking about how you craft—at home, on the go, or both—will help you decide what mix makes the most sense.

Pockets for most things

Once you’ve chosen your containers, the next step is deciding which inserts you need and how many. Flip Flap Pockets are the backbone of a well‑organized 6x6 system. They’re perfect for storing dies, stamps, stencils, paper, scraps, and anything mostly flat. Their label tabs make them especially useful if you organize with the 4 Section System, because they act as natural dividers within your Themes & Sentiments, Calendar Year, and Rainbow sections. If you’re not familiar with the 4 Section System, it’s Tiffany’s signature organizing strategy for crafters—simple, intuitive, and incredibly effective. Read more about it - click here.

Folios for kits & bulky items

For project‑based crafting, the 6x6 Fancy Folio is the better choice. It keeps everything for a project together—papers, scraps, dies, stamps, embellishments, ephemera—so you can pick up where you left off without searching for anything. These folios also fit beautifully into the 4 Section System, making it easy to store project kits by theme, season, or color.

Most crafters will find they need a combination of Flip Flap Pockets and Fancy Folios. The pockets handle everyday storage, while the folios keep projects organized from start to finish. Together, they create a flexible system that adapts to your crafting style.
