I’ve always enjoyed watching all of your craft room tours over the years. It’s been through several changes, but one thing hasn’t changed and that’s how incredibly organized you are. I love it! Hoping for a wonderful 2022 for you, my friend!! 💜
Thank you so much, my friend! I know you have been here since I started sharing craft room tours on RU-vid! I really do appreciate your support and friendship. Wishing you all the best for 2022, Kari!
Yes! Incredibly organized. A place for everything and everything in its place......labeled and company. FANTASTIC JOB!! What an incentive for me. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
So many great ideas here, I'm sure I'll be referring back to this video a lot this year as I redo my craft space!! Thank you for sharing. Also... If anyone needs me, I'll be at Muji.. 😂
Thanks so much for the tour! You have a lot of supplies stored in your tiny room, but everything is beautifully organized which is key. I always like to see how people store all their things.
Thank you so much! I do like to show that with good organisation, you can fit a lot of supplies in a small space. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment.
I was looking forward to your craft room tour. I know I am repeating myself, but your craft room is by far my favourite. Not very big, but still completely sufficient and perfectly organised. I love it.
I've always enjoyed your youtube videos, especially your yearly craftroom tours. Your room is lovely, fresh and bright, and so well organised. I must admit to buying the odd item after watching your videos, the last one being one of those fold down paint/water pots, which is so useful and takes so little space, and those Hogma shelves for the raskog trolley which is great for creating extra space. Happy crafting.
I have been researching craft room organizing videos. You video is the FIRST video that is REALISTIC. I’m am going to be using many of your ideas. THANK YOU!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Roxanne. That really is nice of you to say. I watch a lot of craft room tours myself, so I do understand what you mean. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to leave me such a lovely comment!
I have followed you for years and your craft room organization is nothing short of inspired!!!! You have your room set up SO perfectly….and everything has just the right spot to be stored both functionally and beautifully!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!! Happy new year!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. I apologise for the delay in replying but I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave me such a lovely comment. Thank you so much for your continued support over the years. Wishing you a wonderful day and all the best for the year ahead! ❤️❤️❤️
You are the queen of organisation! Everything just fits so well in it's space. I need your organisation brain for sure. Desperately now wanting to update my whole room! 😫 Thank you so much for the tour Michelle, I loved seeing it xx
You are too kind, Lisa! Still lots to do but it is always evolving! Seems to be a full-time job organising! Haha! Thank you so much for watching, I really appreciate it. One day, I hope to see yours! ;) xx
I LOVE your craft room, Michelle! It's really beautiful and so well organized...WOW! Thank you so much for taking the time to share a peek with us and for sharing a link to your blog for more information! Also, thank you for all the great videos you provide for us all year long ~ Wishing you all the best in 2022!!!
Happy New Year, Inge! Wishing you a happy and healthy one. Thank you so much for your kind comment. I am really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I am really glad you like it. I used to craft on my dining room table and had a little drawer set to hold my supplies. I am really grateful to have a dedicated space now. I am glad that you could adapt your bedroom to craft in there. Thank you for watching.
I just like the details of your room and how well organized you are. I need to buy more things for my craft and art items and organized rs for my supplies.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Melissa. I am really glad you like it. It does take some time to find containers/storage items that work. I hope you can find some more that work for you too. Thank you for watching!
The Brutus Monroe pockets do hold the 6 x 6 background stamps well. I just got off the top. Ellen Hudson has some as well I believe that are heavier. For such a small room it is very well done. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Pea
Thank you so much, Pea. I did not know that. I will go and see if they ship to the UK. Really appreciate you letting me know and thank you so much for watching.
@@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto let me know if they don't. Ellen Hudson is here and I can probably get some to you. We lived in Germany for awhile so I know what it is like.
Hi Michelle. I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years now but this is the first time I've commented. I just want to thank you so much for all your videos and the great care and attention to detail you put into each and every one of them. I find your craft room tour and organisation videos very inspiring and extremly helpful as I continue to organise my own space. It's an ever changing work in progress! 😄 I want to wish you a very happy and healthy 2022. Cheers and crafty hugs from Canada 🇨🇦!
Hi Laura, thank you so much for your kind comment and also for your continued support. I really do appreciate it. I am really glad you enjoyed it. My room is definitely ever changing too! I think most crafty organisation is. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2022 and thank you again! Crafty hugs from the UK!
Lovely room tour as always. Super organised. Definitely seems much bigger than what you said the dimensions were which shows how effectively you’ve used the space. Think I’m going to try the folder storage for stencils - seems more convenient and tidy. Happy new year. All the best for 2022. X
Thank you so much, Halima. It does seem to come across a lot bigger in photos and in the video. I like to think of it as a small but perfectly formed room! Haha! I really love storing stencils in a binder, I find that they do not take up much room and also easy to find what i want. I hope it works for you too. Thank you so much for watching, wishing you a wonderful 2022! xx
Thank you so much, Heidi! Do you know what? I would LOVE to come and help you! I keep thinking maybe I should start a craft room organising business! ;) Wishing you a happy and healthy 2022!
Amazing organization! My dream set up - a place for everything and everything in its place! Thanks for sharing your lovely craft room! Have a great day! 🙂
Hi Hannah, thank you so much for your kind comment. The case was custom made for me by a friend (Ruth's Reusables) but sadly she no longer makes them. I am really sorry. Thank you for watching!
I didn’t think anybody had a smaller craft room than me. The difference is yours is so nice and organized and mine is not. Where did you get those mint colored dividers that are in your stamp and die bins? Or did you create them yourself. I love the cabinets you have with the really skinny drawers where you store your ink cubes. Very nice craft room.
Thank you so much, Lisa. It is definitely a small space but it does depend on how you use it, as you say. The dividers I made myself. I have made another video explaining how I made them here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html sorry that I forgot to mention it in the video. Thank you for your kind comment and for watching.
I love all of your craft room tours!!! It is always tidy and colorful and an inspiration!! I would love to know what kind of labels you use to organize your paper and die folder. I love that font! Do you just print those out? Thank you and Happy 2022!!
Thank you so much, Stacey. I really appreciate your kind comment. The labels on my binders and also on my cardstock dividers are printed from the computer. The binders are just printed on paper and the dividers are printed on labels by a brand called HERMA. The font is called KG Sorry Not Sorry. It is a paid for font but I really like it. Thank you for watching and happy New Year to you!
Love your space! Question about your desks, are they something you purchased or built? They look to have quite a bit of depth, which is not standard for desks. Love how you have space on top of the drawer units that you have under the desks. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Karen. The desks were purchased from www.storage4crafts.co.uk although sadly, they do not sell them anymore, sorry. I got them for the very reason you state, they are very deep - 71cms. I can have storage on top of my desk but still have workspace. Thank you for watching.
Love watching your craft room tours... have you ever done a tutorial on how you make your organizing labels etc. For example, your stamp storage teal/light blue front organizers... are those just Cardstock with rounded corners? Unfortunately, things are available at your IKEA that either aren't available or are Out Of Stock at my IKEA.
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I don’t have an actual video on making them but I explain how I did in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html they are cardstock that I rounded the corners and then laminated. Different Ikea’s around the world sell different things sadly but I know all stores are struggling to keep things in stock at the moment, sadly. Thank you for watching.
@@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto Thank you so much. Of course, after I sent these messages, I found the next video and watched it and it explained. LOL Sorry for "jumping ahead" so-to-speak. Just love these videos... I'm in the process of re-vamping/organizing my little room and this is going to help me tremendously. As you said, although I can't afford to purchase what I need all at once, bit-by-bit, it will certainly assist. Thank you again, and Happy New Year. :)
I enjoyed watching your tour. I can't imagine how you did it My craft room is bigger than yours a little bit. How did you start? My room is a mess with things all over the place. Please give me some advice. I think maybe I should just clear the entire room and start from scratch what do you think?
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. Clearing the whole room and starting from scratch is a good idea. As you add products back in, ask yourself if you will still use it and if not, purge it. Having said that, my room did not start out like this. It has progressed and adapted throughout the years. I actually have some old photos over on my blog here if you would like to see - www.cardgrotto.com/p/craft-room.html as the years have gone on I have found new items of furniture that work well for my supplies and the space I have. I do think craft room storage is always a work in progress. Good luck!
Beautiful room, we have similar size rooms but yours is far more organised than mine. I am due a huge declutter. I find I can't see the wood for the trees. Happy New Year Beautiful Friend 😍 😘
But yours is so amazing to look at, Jo. Mine looks boring in comparison! I love your room! Thank you so much for watching, my friend! Wishing you all the best for 2022! xx
Fantastic use of space, Michelle! Such a lovely craft room. I chuckled at the end seeing the large Tim Holtz paper trimmer. Mine is in a closet. The thing is so big there's nowhere practical for me to store it. Where did you find the cardstock tab dividers? Those are fantastic!
Thank you so much, Adelle. That is the only thing in my room that I have never been able to find a home for. I love it and use it all the time but it’s annoying to store! I’m glad I’m not the only one. The dividers? The ones I use for my cardstock? They are BCW Magazine Dividers from Amazon. The aqua ones? I cut them from Lawn Fawn Mermaid cardstock and laminated them. Thanks so much for watching!
@@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto Thanks, Michelle! I meant the white ones. Found them on Amazon last night and they want $21 for 25 dividers. Did the math as I have over 350 colors of cardstock. Eeeeesh. I'll hold out on that for a bit. LOL. (I'm a cardstock "hoor") 😂 I do the exact same thing you do for your aqua dividers. I chose a mint color from Papertrey Ink. They sell 50-packs for $11. Cannot beat the price of their cardstock and it's fantastic cardstock. Thanks again for the info, and happy new year my friend! ❤
@@adelleemery6424 sorry, I realised afterward it was the white ones. They are very expensive, even more expensive here! I managed to get them when they were down in price a bit but still a lot of money. If you have a lot of cardstock, it’s a huge investment. I love PTI cardstock and use their white but it’s so expensive to ship to the UK. Glad you can get it cheaper though as it’s fantastic quality and good value without the shipping cost. Wishing you a fantastic 2022!
Which containers did you use for the envelopes and card stock in the drawer? Also, what size do you cut your teal dividers? Your organization is wonderful and I love your craft room. My goal for 2022 is make my craft room more coordinated. It’s a mix match mess. Thank you
Thank you so much, Michelle. I have made an extra video on the questions you have asked which may be helpful to you. It is here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html I apologise that I couldn't fit it all in this one. The envelopes are in a VARIERA box from Ikea and the cardstock are in the medium and long iDesign Lunus Organisers that I linked to in the second video. Thank you so much for watching.
Hi Lillian, Thank you so much for watching. Please forgive the delay in replying to you. I got it from Ikea - www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/hattefjaell-office-chair-with-armrests-gunnared-medium-grey-30494514/ it is this one but without the armrests. Thank you so much for watching! :)
It's such a lovely, organized space, Michelle! The perfect spot to create. I noticed that you have some kind of filter over your desk lamp. Can I ask what that is? I've been looking to do something like that for years to reduce the glare.
Thank you so much, Christy! I really appreciate you stopping by and for your kind comment. It is the Neewer Soft White Diffuser. This is the link to Amazon UK - amzn.to/3EFznI2 I know you can't buy it from there, but it might help you to see the details/dimensions etc. for you to find in the US. I really love it because I can put it on and take off easily and it stops the glare and some of the shadows from the lamp too.
Thank you so much! Yes, they are cardstock which was then laminated. Sorry, I explain it better in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html thank you for watching!
Wonderful peek into your creative space! Just wondering what models your desks are…they look like IKEA but not sure which one you’ve purchased. If you would please reply with the model. Kindest thanks😘🇨🇦
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment, Julie! The desks are from a company called Storage4Crafts but they no longer sell them unfortunately, sorry.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you and thank you for watching, Mollie. I am so sorry that I forgot to mention it in the video. I cut sheets of Lawn Fawn Mermaid Cardstock to size and then rounded the top corners with a corner punch. I then laminated them in my laminator and cut the rounded corners with scissors. I then labelled them by making clear labels in my label maker. No video (sorry) but I hope that helps.
@@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto Perfect. Thanks so much. That’s my January project lol! Thanks again for your amazing talent and channel. I have been a fan for many many years. ❤️
@@mollierhodes2783 thank you so much, Mollie. I really appreciate your ongoing support. I have made an extra video explaining the dividers (at the end of the video) here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html
thanks for the video - love the storage tips. Just a quick question- the Manfrotto tripod you showed briefly- do you have a model number? I am looking to purchase a new one
Thank you so much, Mary. The Manfrotto Adjustable Arm with Quick Release Plate has the number 244RC on it. I am not sure that is the model number or not. I have the one that I have linked in the description bar to UK and US Amazon. Thank you for watching.
@@maryr917 I am so sorry. It is the Manfrotto Compact Tripod - MKC3-H01. The other number on it is T1450675. I apologise that I confused the two. Thank you.
@@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto Thank you so much Michelle. Sorry for replying so late. I found these on Amazon and order a set - I think they are going to work wonders for all my little sequins, beads, sparkle things, etc. I'm also looking into getting a label maker because I think that will help a lot too. Totally reorganizing my craft room. A new 'try' for me this year with three things. 1) My word for the year is "kindness". 2) A place for everything & everything in its place. 3) When I'm done creating or finish a project... put everything away then and there - no leaving things out. We'll see how it works. LOL Thanks again. =:o)
Hi there, I am so sorry this comment is so incredibly late but my friend Ruth made them for me. She is called Ruth's Reusables over on Etsy. Thank you so much for watching!
I made them myself. I forgot to mention it in the video, sorry. I have made an extra video explaining them here - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html Thank you for watching!
Where did you get the dust covers made? I had someone on Etsy make me a cover for my Big Shot, and because she wasn't a crafter, she made it too big. *Ü*
The one for my Gemini Junior I purchased on Etsy but the seller is no longer on there by the looks of it, sorry. The dust covers for the MISTIs were made by Ruth's Reusables. For those I have added extra details in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fFRc5NxuCFg.html Sorry about your cover being too big. I think that is the problem if the maker is not a crafter themselves. I think I got lucky finding it on Etsy. Thank you for watching!
I got it from a place here in the UK called Storage4Crafts.co.uk. Unfortunately they no longer sell it but here is the company that makes them, which might be helpful for you - bestcraftorganizer.com/rolling-storage-cabinet/ thanks so much for watching!
@@MichelleShortTheCardGrotto Thank you so much for the info. I love your studio. I love a space that art items have a space and you dont see everything. You explain so well. Thanks again!
