Check this out: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#staticfiles-dirs
I put a static folder in my project root where I put all the project specific (ant not app specific) static files. The folder's path is then added to STATICFILES_DIRS. But note that this static folder is different than STATIC_ROOT folder where the collectstatic management command collects all static files for deployment (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATIC_ROOT) I separate them because the first one is checked into version control, while the second one is not.
