Organizing your craft room is an ever-evolving process. Check out our five latest organization ideas that are sure to help you stay organized and stay crafty.
#1 Store Embossing Powders
If your desk space is limited, but you want to keep your embossing powders within reach, these two options could help! The first option is using the Fabric Grid Storage System (1.5 strips) to keep your powders organized neatly in a row. Keep this system in a drawer that is easy to access while you are crafting on your work surface.
The second option for storing embossing powders is the wall box system. Use the Wall Box System with a Thread Grid to keep your embossing powders visible and organized. Hang your wall boxes on the wall above your desk, or store them in a stamp case tower.
Bonus Tip: Flip your jars over to see the color underneath. Keeping your jars stored upside down will allow you to browse through your colors quickly instead of looking at the black or white lids!
#2 Color Code Labels
Level up your labeling game with color-coded labels! Using paper the same color as the supplies you are organizing helps with easy identification. Instead of labeling with the color name, use a piece of cardstock in the drawer label slots. Color-coded labels are perfect for organizing your beads, diamond drill colors, fabric scraps, paper colors, and more!
#3 Keep Thread with Fabric
The Fabric Storage Tower is a great way to store all sorts of fabric from patterned bolts to fat quarters. What you may not know is the Fabric Storage Tower is great for storing thread, too! Store your thread in wall boxes, keep them organized with grids, and place them vertically or horizontally on any of the shelves! This idea allows you to keep your supplies together and easy to see.
#4 Create a Sentiment Drawer
Sentiments are fun to use for cardmaking, scrapbooking, and even junk journaling! If you have a growing collection of sentiments, organizing them can be a challenge.
Using specific drawers just for sentiments is a great way to keep them organized and accessible. Utilize half trays to organize your sentiments according to color, size, season, or frequency of use.
#5 Dedicate Space for Unfinished Work
Drawers are also excellent for storing unfinished work. Many crafters find themselves dedicating a chair or an unmarked bin to their in-progress pieces. While this might work as a short-term solution, it can easily become impractical and a bit of an eyesore.
Choosing a drawer (or maybe two) to dedicate to your unfinished projects will help you stay organized. Plus, limiting the space you can store these half-done items in will motivate you to keep up with older projects and stay inspired. Keep your tools and supplies separate by using accessory trays in your in-progress drawers.
