Cookie Cutter Organization

Although I'm not completely finished, I'm going to post this anyway. It took me a while to find a way to organize my cookie cutter collection. And I know, I said the same about trying to figure out how to organize my recipes. But with certain things I guess you could say I'm a little OCD. Well in our kitchen/dining room we have a counter where you can put 2 barstools. However our kitchen table is relativley close so it would not comfortably seat both. So instead I decided to put shelves under the counter where you would normally put the stools and on the shelves I will place my organized mass of cookie cutters. I haven't purchased the shelves yet, but I do have the containers and I have labled the containers. Now it would vary from person to person how you would catagorize them, what I have done just suits me and my OCD best. I've seperated them into these catagories:

These are just written on a pre-cut business card, you can find them where the printer paper is at your local walmart. If you can't find those you can always use index cards. Now even though this makes it easier to find the cookie cutter you want, I took it a step further. I took an additional card (or two) and wrote exactly what was in the bin. Here's an example from the Animal 1 bin :

I realize now this was a bad example pic because I spelled Squirrel wrong, but hopefully you can excuse that, I worked on these early in the morning and I wasn't awake.

The containers I used are just the standard "shoe box" size. I think it's like a 6qt. container, I got them from Walmart for 94 cents each. Which is quite a deal I think. Here's what they look like stacked up, like I said, I don't have the shelves yet.

All I did was drop the cards in the front inside of the box and put the lid back on. That easy! I also have 2 other containers not shown in this pic, one being for my piping bags and decorating tips and the other for food coloring/sprinkles/flavoring.

Hopefully, this will help anyone looking to find storage for their cookie cutters!
