Embrace the Seasonal Shift
As summer greens turn to autumn yellows, you can’t help but feel the coziness creep in. With the changing of the seasons is an opportunity to refresh and reevaluate your space and your creative priorities.
This fall season, we’re here to help you leaf last season behind and carve out more space for creativity.
Clear Out the Clutter from Summer Projects
The first step in embracing the new season is decluttering your leftover summer supplies.
- Take a look around your craft space and make note of all supplies and tools that you used for summer projects.
- Organize and store anything that doesn't have a home.
- Donate summer-themed items that you didn’t use and don’t plan on using next year.
- For finished projects that you want to keep, label a Drawer, Crate, or Storage Pocket “SUMMER (year)” for easy identification.
- Purge those 2025 pieces (like graduation cards) unless you can repurpose them (ex., into New Year’s Eve cards).
Refresh and Rearrange Your Space for Fall Vibes
What do you usually create during the fall?
Ask yourself:
- Which projects are you most excited to dive into?
- Which tools and supplies will you need most often?
- How big a work surface will you need for larger projects?
Pro Tip: Rearrange your layout to reflect your current goals by swapping drawers, labels, or inserts.
The Craft Island is ready to be your central project station, with a large work surface and ample storage space on both sides.
Rotate and Restock Your Fall Supplies
Once your summer supplies are neatly organized and tucked away, it’s time to bring out your favorite fall essentials:
- Stamps
- DSP
- Fabrics
- Tools
Use Drawer Inserts like Drawer Cups and Accessory Trays to neatly organize your supplies.
The large Drawer Cups are a great way to store projects-in-progress.
Don't forget Label Holders to keep track both projects-in-progress and your supplies.
Prep a Staging Area for Gift Wrapping and Holiday Projects
Getting ready for the holidays can be overwhelming—so batch your projects for less stress.
Create an assembly line:
- Use a large table or your craft room floor to spread out supplies.
- Add a "personalization and gift wrap" station at the end.
- Work in batches--finish one whole project type before starting another.
Examples:
- 50 Paper Pumpkins
- Christmas gift tags
The Craft Island makes the perfect final personalization station.
Cozy Up Your Craft Room
Fall crafting means more time indoors with:
- New projects
- Warm cups of your favorite seasonal drinks
Make your space feel like a retreat:
- Add warm lighting
- Use pumpkin spice scents
- Sprinkle in seasonal decorations
