2021 Craft Room Tour (A Dude's Version) 

Cutting foam board to organize your drawers is genius!

I love your room. just want you know you should never apologize for what you have. I have been crafting for over 20 years and have a lot of supplies. Those people who are bashing you are just jealous.

The ID badges as containers is freaking brilliant.

Thank you for the tour! You seemed really shy about showing off your stuff, and we really appreciate that you still did a tour despite that. Also, since I'm such a fangirl, the fact that you have a Scan n Cut only solidifies my burning desire for one! Lovely, lovely room!

How refreshing it is to see a man's craft studio space! I love it!

I can never understand why anyone would NOT be kind. If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all. LOVE your room - so neat and tidy. Want to come to Australia to help me out????? LOL. Beautifully presented - well sorted and stored. Great job. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you for the tour, I’ve currently got the builders in converting a bedroom into my creative space or as I refer to it my craft cave, they’ll be finished soon and then I’m off to Ikea for furniture and storage so your tour has helped me with some choice decisions. Thank you once again and good luck for the future. Ceri The Crafter.

Looks like paradise to me! What an enormous task this must have been. Thank you for sharing.💖

Reorganizing is never ending. I also get becoming crazy when I don't have things put away. Most of the time it is because someone in my family that borrows something and does not put back which if they do not know where it goes then it is better they just toss the item on my desk. I am just happy they bring the item back. Your craftroom is beautiful.

Thank you for sharing your fantastic craft room. I got a sone great ideas for when I move into my creative space. A couple of years ago I transferred my stamp sets that were in dvd cases into storage pockets (for 4 x 6 stamp sets) and I couldn’t believe how much more room I had created. A local church took the empty cases to create bible study kits for the youth members. Thanks again for the inspiration.

Your craft room grows and changes with you. Your process of moving things and then seeing if it works and then adjusting is great. I have found I have been the most successful with my organization when I do that.

so many comments as I am watching this! 1) LOVE your glasses! 2) foam core between the stamp sets, brilliant!!!!! 3) Fuze tool to make your own sleeves! woot! 4) Kathy Rac bags for coloring!

I’m IMPRESSED! A guy that crafts AND organizes his craft room. Totally awesome and a great room! I just happened onto your channel and will now subscribe. Looking forward to see amazing projects you make! Congrats on the room! 👏👏👏

You are so simplified & exact. It's very calming! U have a lot of supplies but the way U organize is fantastic! Mariah...😱... What!!!! That's amazing! Front & center... Yes please💗🦋💗 we "ALL" collect things & those that say they don't are lieing 🤣😁 hahaha❤️I have way too much of everything but don't get rid of anything😳❣️ I love my stuff though. Thank U soooo much for sharing! Love that u went through everything! I appreciate that! Oh course we want to see everything 🤣❤️ great video. Love that giggle at the very end from ur friend! Cute! 🤣

I highly recommend Command strips for hanging items on your walls. They're easy and don't leave marks on your walls when you remove them.

Love the foam dividers. Good idea

Thank you for recording this! Still want to see your pen collection and the four ladies under the clock. Katia is my spirit animal and she lives on my desk. Thank you for bringing up the conversation about the filming equipment and lighting. Your AWESOME!

Thank you so much for showing us around your craft room. Loved the tour. You can never have too much sparkle! x

It is looking so good - functional but still elegant. Keep us up to date on how you develop a catalogue system. Wishing you much joy in the ‘new’ space 💕

You know crafting is a passion when you can speak so passionately about your ‘stash’. Nice storage for the space you have.

I love your space. You have some great solutions and room for transformations as you get ideas from your intuition or other colleagues. I enjoy watching your card making videos because you are so inspiring. Thank you for your vulnerability. You are wonderful teacher and person.

Just found your channel and this was the first video that came up. I LOVED the craft room tour. Really enjoyed you opening up your space and sharing how you have organized it. I appreciate this video.😊

I love seeing how others make their space functional. I think all of us crafters are always evolving our space. I love the ID badge holder idea and so many of the things that “drive you bonkers” also drive me bonkers so it’s nice to see you owning it and being so real. Can’t wait to go and watch some more of your videos. Cheers!

Beautiful craft room! I love all of your organization. Great idea using the clear badge holders for smaller stamp storage. Thanks for sharing.

So awesome! Easily the cleanest, most organized craft room I have seen. And embossing powder residue... ugh! I am with you on that! Don't get me wrong, I love me some embossing powder, but the "leftovers"... dang. I cannot deal. Your space is so soothing to see on this video. You know where everything is at and, obviously, how to use it! Thank you for sharing!

You are awesome! Love the dresser storage. I think it’s brilliant to choose items that can be multifunctional, not just specifically made for crafting. Using id badges for small sets? Perfect! I, too, get overwhelmed with too much on display, so your minimal decor is on point for me. Thank you SO much for not inserting multiple commercials- may you be blessed ten fold! You have a beautiful relaxed vibe so it was just lovely to watch and listen to you. ❤️

I love seeing other people’s craft rooms and the storage they utilize. Thank you for the tour your room “in progress” is great!! 💛🧡

Mr. Ricky, Every craft room is unique, just like you! Thanks for taking time to share, sincerely appreciated! Blessed crafting! 😊

Oh the goodness of it all! So happy for you (and so envious). I started stamping a dinosaur age ago. So, clunky, wood blocks. A binder only of unmounted stamps. But millions (well almost) of embellishments and ephemera. I am successfully ignoring die cuts. My crafting area is in continual flux. Yet there is always a vision and hope of the could be.

I love love, love your craft room. I’ve been watching craft room videos for awhile so I can decide how to do my new room and I find yours is the most practical, user friendly and has about the same amount of stuff I have! I was looking at going a totally different way but this is so perfect for me. TFS! Oh yeah, it would be great if you could have someone (or you if you’re handy) put full extension drawer slides on your stamp dresser. You can buy a big pack of them on Amazon for around a hundred bucks. You would get so much more enjoyment out of your stamp drawers if you didn’t need three hands & your knees to hold them while you rifle through them. I’m putting them on the IKEA drawers as I put them together instead of the ones that come with them. So much nicer!!

Wonderful craft room you have there. So well organised and the colours are fantastic. Well done and thanks for sharing it with us!

I love your area and devices. You have a real talant for your wants and needs. I'm truly inspired.

Wow ! That’s an amazing craft room. And I feel like you if people don’t have nothing nice to say ; don’t say anything at all. my parents always said that. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a blessed day darling 💎♥️💎😍

I love your room! Why afraid of bad comments? it's so nice! I like the 2 chests of drawers, with drawers of different height. They are perfect. I might want to invest (in the future) to get at least one of them. And the dividers are a great idea, I have never seen that material before, must investigate. Well done and good crafting!!! 🥰

Loving the craft room!! I think you did a fantastic job making it all you!!! I do believe that a craft room is ever changing to our individual needs!! I keep changing mine up here and there to figure out if something works better for me or not!! 😉 Anyway it looks great and it looks like your really loving it!!💗💗💗

just awesome!!!!! MY room is one happy mess. You did give me some great ideas. Thank you for sharing

Oh my you are so organized!!! I love it! I’m a messy artist, but I do know that order would make my life and art making easier.

Where have you been all my life? You just came up in my “recommended”. I can relate to you on so many levels. I have pretty much the same tools and supplies you have, only less because I don’t create professionally. I mainly make cards but I also love pretty much all arts and crafts. I enjoy watercolor, oil pastel, mixed media, art journals, junk journals, etc. Thank you for sharing your talent! Hugs, Jody

You are soo inspiring! Thank you, glad I found you!

Amazing craft room! Very organized! Great ideas!

Thanks for sharing your craft room! Just a thought on hanging pictures, you could use the 3M picture hanging hooks that stick on and remove when you are done. I hate putting nail holes in my walls too :)

Very nice room. Very organized. Thanks for you comments & tips.

Super organized and lovely craft room. Thanks for all the info and ideas! ❤️🇨🇦

So well organized. Don’t worry any of us that love things just so are always a work in progress. The colors are lovely and calming.

I loved your craft room tour and all of your storage ideas.

Awesome...Craft room. I totally understand about the walls but you could use command strips...no holes ever and you could change you photos as often as you would like. 😉😍💜

I have moved several times and each time the size and configuration of y craft room changes! Right now I’ve become so frustrated with my current “ make do” organization systems. ( By make do I mean using the cheap stuff that I’ve collected over the years of my crafting , that doesn’t really work, it I’ve “ made it do” ! Lol! ) For my birthday this year I’m going to drive the 3 hours to my closest IKEA to buy some well planned and thought out storage items. I’m in a frenzy of measuring ( space and existing storage that I’m keeping) and searching the internet for videos about craft space organization and storage ideas! So thank you for this video! I’m also thinking of making some RU-vid videos so info about filming is very useful too. So as a solution for your Copic markers I have this to suggest- I have all of the colors and was really struggling with storing all,these markers in a way that I could use them effectively. So I went on Etsy website and there are sellers who make a laser cut wood, organizer that fits all the Copic marker colors, and it will fit in the top shelf of the IKEA Raskog cart. So now I just roll my Raskog cart over to my work area and there are all my Copics....or I can lift the whole organizer unit out and set it anywhere I’m working ....I have all my Copic colors at my finger tile! So easy to color now! You don’t need to keep it in a Raskog cart , it’s very sturdy and since it can be lifted out to sit on a table, I would think it could be stored on a shelf. Also a tip- Raskog carts make useful,storage solutions if you store them under a stand up style desk, and just pull out a particular car as you need what’s stored on other. I use these for un” most used” supplies. Also ichaels makes a version of the Raskog that’s larger than the IKEA one and larger than the Michael’s copy of the Raskog cart. It’s the same width but is 24 inches long! So offers much more storage! Maybe someone can use this tip. Also, if other pens/ markers are a similar size or smaller, the laser cut wood organizer might work for other pens you have. It’s also just visually pleasing to see all the Copics arranged by color , and it’s a very tactile satisfaction to touch all the markers in their organizer! ( I am visual and tactile kind of artist, I love textures! ) This is really working for me. I can’t remember who I bought my organizer from, but just go onto the Etsy website and search for Copic organizer . Check it out and see if you like the organizers and if they would work for you. I have 7 die cutting machines! And I’m seriously thinking of buying a Brother scan n cut! Lololol! ((I have a Cricut maker but I really dont like it) . And each of my die cutting machines serves a slightly different purpose! So no shame in having a lot of machines, if crating makes you happy , then go for whatever makes crafting more fun and easier!

I'm so glad to see a man to do crafting, organizing, and to show that a man can create what ever there is.

Awesome organization ideas! Love your room! For your small stamps could you cut apart hockey card holders? Higher quality ones so they are as thick as your ID sleeves? I organize my flat embellishments in these and love them. I subbed you :) Love your sense of humor! TFS!

Acrylic box frames make great tray storage for wood blocks

Great room. My favorite part is your Copic marker case. Also...Foiling intimidates me too.

Your room is amazing! I laughed every time you said, "It's ridiculous - you don't need that much". We love our craft supplies. Don't feel you need to justify what you work for.

Your craft area looks great everything has a place.

Thank you for sharing your craft room space! ❤ I am trying to organize my craft room and have found a lot of great ideas from your video!

BTW- you cracked me up with “Oops- Blooper” when you knocked something onto the floor 😂😂

Such a calm atmosphere. You have given me inspiration for my room re-do. Thank you for sharing.

You craft room looks amazing Ricky! You came up with some really great storage solutions.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do a tour of your craft room. It looks awesome and very well organized!

It is so awesome to see a male crafter. Hello Sir nice to meet ya. Awesome craftroom. TFS Stay safe & Be Blessed

What an extremely organized space. I love Ikea, their storage solutions are very affordable. Would rather spend more on my crafty supplies, not storage! I have to purge a bunch of my supplies first & then I will organize. I am definitely going to use some of your organization solutions. Thank you for taking the time to share.

New Subscriber! Love your room, but mostly, I love your glasses!!

Ricky, love your space-thanks for sharing! Lots of great storage ideas and inspiration!

Just found you and am def a subscriber now! The ID badge idea is fantastic, I have a bunch of those 2 x 3 stampsets and have driven myself crazy trying to store them. Thanks! P.S. What kind of dividers do you use to separate your stamps / dies?

Super great video and tour. I love the set up and especially how some stamps are not put away in the sleeves. That is so real life right there. I got some good ideas to use and also I don't feel bad that I have stamps that need to be put away.

What an amazing space. So thoughtfully laid out and I love how much you fit in a small area. Are all the desk components from Ikea?

Ricky!!!!! This room is PERFECT!!!! I love open shelves with baskets and storage bins. I spied some Funko Pop in your room too! Love them! It’s such a great space! ♥️♥️♥️

Where do you get the sleeves that you store your stencils in? Also did you have the glass cut for the ikea units, or do they sell that size?

Love your craftroom. I have been crafting for 11 years. I have lots of stuff too. I make about 400 cards a year. In 2020, i made in excrss of 1600 cards. I sent cards of thanks to every police station in Philadelphia, New York city, Seattle, , Chicago , Portland, Kenoshia, Washington DC, some cities in NJ. I never expected to hear back from their commanders but i did. Only cities were Philadelphia and overwhelmingly from New York City.

The bags you have pencils and pens in, black and white that you saud you need more of.... Where did you get them?

I think that you have done a very nice job with your room. I love how organized it is and that you don't have to look at everything you own. Thank you for sharing; I definitely got some ideas from you.

I don’t think our craft rooms are ever complete 🤣

great room! thanks for sharing it. you gave me a couple of ideas for modifications I've been looking for. I'm a life long crafter and have many interest which of a ton of supplies including equipment. Enjoy your awesome and organized space

I use fountain pens and i was just thinking how many bottles of black ink do i need? I have 7 different bottles across a few brands all with all different properties. Its an addiction.

You have a really nice room Ricky! I love that not all of your stamps are in sleeves (yet) and that you're room is still a work in progress. Having a place for everything so everything can be easily put back in it's place is the key to having and keeping an organized room. I had that with my last craftroom and then we moved to a smaller house and now I am back to where you are with working out where everything should go. It's fun but can be frustrating until you get it all figured out. I also really like your lamps on your desk for doing videos. What a great lighting solution! Thank you for sharing the details of your room. Oh and that Elephant clock on your wall is also very awesome!

How do you remember all you have?

Our rooms have a lot of similarities! I also have a double decker desk...and multiple paper cutters and die cut machines 😜. I use the same embellishments containers too! FYI Brutus Monroe has small stamp pockets that I love. I am glad you have a happy place to create in. I love mine so much. I have 5 grown kids so it took me a long time to have my own space. I am like every crafter...always rearranging to meet my needs. I have several chronic illnesses so it can be hard sometimes. Thank you so much for sharing your space!!!

Wow! I love your organization! Great ideas for everything. You make great use of a small room!

❤️ your craft room. Very well organizad. You also utilize the space so well. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful paradise where you inspire so many of us !!!

Totally get you regarding embossing powder. I have a little vacuum on my desk that looks like a lady bug. Useful and is decorative!🙂

This is the first video I watched on your channel, loved some of your storage ideas (hello foam board). I have since watched a few more of your videos, and really enjoyed them too. Lots of inspiration!

Omg you have such great organizational skills. What a very talented person you are on so many levels!! Love your studio. What a great happy area to work and play. Peace, Love and Light 🌿💜✨

I am only half way through this video. Thanks for sharing. You have so many great ideas. I am reorganizing and this is very inspirational. Back to the video.

Thank you for sharing your creative haven! I'm one of those people who likes things behind drawers too lol having everything out just gets messy and is so overwhelming. Now I just label my drawers, and I love that everything can be tucked away. New subbie! Excited to see more of your cards xx

What a great craft room. I like your organization and appreciate you sharing it with us. I like the use of the storage containers & that they fit in the kalax units. I just got a unit myself & wasn't sure if things would fit nicely. Also, noticed a few elephants in the background - they are my favorite animal!

happy to find a new channel to follow. I'm in the middle of redoing my room, because I couldn't find anything anymore and it was just taking the fun out of creating. much more happy now.

I really enjoyed your Craft Room Tour. It is interesting to see how others organize and work in their craft space. I laughed because I have that same wooden holder kicking around my craft room, thinking I would use it for my We R Memory Keepers Boards, but nope, never have!

This was so fun! Thanks for doing the premier! I'd love to see another one of you make changes!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your craft room. Thank you for showing it. Are the envelope storage bins Ikea's VARIERA Box, white, 13 1/4x9 1/2 " to fit in the KALAX?

Great tour. Love your organization. You have really thought things out to make them work for you.

You didn’t show us your fountain pens! I am also a FP user, lover, collector. You should see my ink storage cabinet! Loved seeing your crafting space and organization. We’re in the process of moving, and I’m finally thinking about how to consolidate all my crafting material into one room and how to store everything efficiently. I’m very interested in your ink pad storage units. I definitely need some of those. Thanks so much for taking the time to create and post this video. Very helpful to me.

I like your organizational idea for the stamps. I need to be organized myself so things can be found when needed. I can make a mess, then once done....I have to clean it up before starting another project. I guess it’s my organization OCD! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing your craft room. Greatly appreciate storage ideas.

Love your minimalizing visual clutter. I'm loving your video and I'm in the process of redoing my small craft space

What a great space! I would never leave it

Thanks for the tour. I’d love to see your fountain pen collection too.

Love!!! "You don't need this much"; yes, yes you do! 🤣🤣 My obsession is paper. I have way way too much. But it's all on display and it's the rainbow is so beautiful. Shout out to Kevin! Thanks for being the cameraman!

This is an amazing space! I enjoyed the tour and feel so inspired. Thanks for sharing!

Great organization. Good idea to use foam board as dividers. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely craft room!! Yours is one of the only ones that's facing a TV, love it!!

This is a tour that I really enjoyed. Thanks for doing this. I picked up a tip or 2
