Small Craft Room Organization | Craft Space Organization on a Budget | Dollar Tree Organization 

This is exactly how my brain works as well, I can never decide how to categorize.

I had to laugh, because I see myself in every thing you do and say. I love how real you are about what you're thinking and doing and not doing. Thank you

I have a craftroom! I prefer to have my personal, quiet space to get away from the day.

I used Sterlite drawers in my closet, stacked. Sturdy bins with lids on top shelves. Clearance and seasonal items always mess up my organization, I get lazy and don't keep it up. I turned my dining room into my craft room, we never use the table.

I just came across your channel today n started watching DIY’s then seen this organization video which I SO desperately needed to see! Ohhh boy, can I relate to talking to myself n thinking out loud too. 😊 I used to have an entire room for crafting then unfortunately moved to a much smaller home. Now I set up in the dining room since we don’t use it. I don’t care for it as I feel it looks like a wreck if I leave my stuff out. Yet, it’s a lot of work to put it away then drag it back out. But organizing my stuff is an entirely different thing altogether! 🙄😔 I’m terrible at making categories n much like others have said, if I don’t see my stuff then I forget I have it n it don’t get used. Funny how watching someone else organize helps motivate us to do it as well. Thank you so very much for sharing‼️

I can relate to all of your dilemmas! It’s wood and it’s Christmas. Do I store in my holiday bin or the wood bin? If I put it in Christmas, will I remember I have it if I need something out of wood? 😂

under your shelf you could use hanging storage for shoes and fill with plastic shoe boxes

My craft area is in my small bedroom. We share lol

❤ Loved your video. Right now I am going through all my things and organizing them. As for the braided rope you got at hobby lobby I saw some recent videos where people used it while making pretty storage baskets from cardboard. I am sure there are other uses for it to dress up items.

You sound exactly like me and how I talk to myself everytime I try to do anything

OMG! I do the same thing....My brain just can't work unless I'm talking myself through it. I have a small room that used to be an office that I worked from home at. It turned into a junk room.... now I'm turning ot into my craft room. I turned the closet into my office area and put shelves along the north wall. I'm currently sorting through all the junk into crafts. But.... I had to get through sorting it all. I just use general categories and throw out the crap and keep anything I consider a blank. I really appreciate you sharing this. I get so overwhelmed with all my stuff. Thank you!!

I love your thought processes. I can relate! Lol Great job organizing’

In the closet under those shelves I would hang those over the door shoe organizers. I have had luck with the narrow ones in small spaces. I screwed in tea cup hooks and hung them from the wall. I use them to store florals, paints, pretty much anything that will fit in the pockets. The clear pockets ones make it so you can see what you have and it uses vertical space for an inexpensive investment. You can cut the length down to the space you have available.

Love the organizing! But I would label everything. Otherwise I wouldn’t find it when I needed it.

I need to get better at keeping my items organized. Nice job 😊

I have a craft cottage. It’s harder to go out there than it was to go to my craft room. But it’s also a great space where no one bothers me!

You have done a great job, But why not a roll chart like those from ikea so you can most of your all time use craft supplies are in there and so you can roll them aside when not needed en take it when you need it like your tools en then the paint and glue and so in those rolling drawers thingie

I am a hoarder of crafts. I do so many different kinds of things. I actually have two rooms and part of my one bathroom that is full of crafts. My stuff is all organized and labelled just so much. I plan on working on it this year to purge some things. I also have stuff in my basement and garage.

watching your thought process made me smile. you need to take the clutterbug quiz. it really helped me so much once i started organizing for what works for me. i really enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing 😊

You did great in such a small space. My suggestion is for hanging items for the closet. Are those shoe organizers they hold the shoe bins from DT or the bigger ones for clothes. I have them I'm not using in my closets, so I'm getting ready to redo my craft area and gonna repurpose them into my craft space for storage.

I have a fairly large craft space, but getting organized is still difficult. I think you did a great job with your chosen space 🙂

Thank you for sharing this. I have a small space in my living room. I just straightened it a few days ago. I can' t find some of my stuff! But I did get rid of some stuff that I'll never use.

Kinda late for the suggestion, but wrapping a bin/basket with the large bulky rope would be cute! Any size would work but I’m envisioning like a blanket basket or for smaller a basket for entryway storage (keys etc). Or even for something in your craft space! I’d love to know if you’ve already done something with it!

moving to a 10x12 shed this spring/summer, and I need ideas shabby chic style

Thank you for sharing with us Lianne. Really enjoyed seeing u organize your area. Definitely will be doing tht soon. 😊💕💜🌻 Hope u have a fabulous week this week. 🌻😊💛

you could have a spot for your embellishment items , such as the little wood things you showed on your post

Why not keep backstock and Christmas and hallowe’en in a spare bedroom?

Thank you for sharing your thought process here. It's all about the thinking of categories and what works best for you, well done! I see so many vids of those with big craft rooms and they're deemed "small". Living in an expensive city, ANY dedicated space is a blessing -gotta make the best of what we have! I've got a 3m x 1.5m space (half a small room) with a chest of drawers for fabrics, 3 bookcases with boxes and bins for types of craft (clay masks, bottle cutting, chains, macrame, painting). Plastic bins/bags for ribbon, adhesives, cards, florals, bows, paper etc). Easy grab items are in trays, tins etc are close to my small desk, my scissors and beading tools are on a magnetic strip. No seasonal bins, it's not huge here to decorate except xmas. I bought stick on tile stickers in bold colours to put on large ares to make the design visually cohesive. I can see and display the pretty things and hide the rest, so it works for me ❤

Rope for hot gluing to a frame for embellishment!❤

I have a craft room and it is so full that I usually craft in the kitchen or living room- but I am in the process of cleaning it out too

The rope ribbon would look great wrapped around a vase

Thanks for some new ideas and inspiration. I have a craft room/office/reading room/cat abode. I would suggest using that thick braid for edging round signs oe pizza pan signs.

I have a craft dining area in a one bedroom condo. I don't think I have ever heard of anyone with extra bedrooms not use one for a craft room. I would have to! I need the space!

I can relate😊

Great job Lianne! I'm so proud of your efforts! Everything is so much more organized! I think I would use that beautiful rope for trim on a tray, pillow or tapestry or handles for a basket. It's so pretty! I have to many doodads, it's overwhelming! I definitely need to pare mine down but I'm a pack rat 😬😱 Tfs, this is definitely inspiring! Your home is so beautiful! P.s... I also still have a happy birthday banner up on my living room 🤣😂🎊❤️ Happy belated to your hubby!

I don't have a real space, so I use my desk or kitchen table. I moved into a small bedroom apt. I need to sort and organize myself. I have a lot of baskets and bins to use ,but I need to get a couple of storage racks. I have punched hole in I corner of my baggies and hung them from the shelf with the rings you get in the school supply area. They snap open and closed. Love this video ❤very nice.😊

I am totally impressed at how many crafts you make with videos and stuff and how few supplies that you have. I have a huge room that is stuffed to the gills and I just craft for fun and a little bit of money. Loved the video.

It is a dilema defining what goes with what, and where. Best is storing likes with likes. Woods with woods by category., frames, crates, etc.. Christmas small ornaments with small ornaments. Christmas beads with Christmas beads… etc.. and actually gather your organized categorized bins and put them close together so is easier to choose from one bin or the other by seasons when crafting. Everyone is different when deciding what makes it easy for each. So you can check videos and get storage ideas, but from there choose what will actually makes it worth Your organization and able to keep it maintained by putting stuff back. But.. yes… we all struggle over and over how to gather likes with likes…

For my seasonal wood cutout shapes I buy clear pencil box like containers with a hinged lid. They are all labeled with the contents and stacked on a shelf with the labels facing out. Labels are key to being able to find things easily.

Enjoyed your storage organization. In regard to your rope ribbon you showed you could always use it as an edging on a painted picture or if you do any diamond painting it would be a great edging to cover the cardboard or other backing you use.

I do my crafts on the dining room table because I dont have a craft room/space which I hate. I have all my craft supplies in one small guest bedroom in containers, small boxes, etc because I have no room for shelving units & no spare room. Its so difficult to work on projects because I have to go through everything. I desperately need help organizing my supplies. I only have a very small space behind the bedroom door 😔 I have to stash supplies under the bed which I detest because I have never liked to have anything under the bed...so much easier to clean.

I think little wood peices should go with little wood peices unless they are Christmas. I think it's good to see all wood peices when look for embellishments throughout the year. They wood peices are miscellaneous many times in those multipacks. I think Christmas should have its own bin of little pieces but this depends on how much little Christmas pieces you have to make it worth it. Hope this helps! Great job on your crafty space! 🙂👍🏻❤️

I have just a craft space which is about a quarter of my bedroom for Cricut stuff and a quarter for my homemade jewelry. They are separated by my rather large vanity. Lol😂

Since you have a utube channel, you Shouldn't feel bad about space you Use. With some more rollie carts and Some wall organizers, everything would have a place and you could use the closet for coats and other things.

I have 2 bedrooms upstairs now that my daughter r grown and moved out. However I much rather use a space between my dining and living rooms which I also use for work.

I am doing the same thing now. I have the same questions about sorting. Right now I use my dining room table but I have the same clean up issue. I am planning to make a space in my basement. Thank you for the inspiration!

"I saved this, there was a good reason for it, I just can't remember why". Are you me? If I had a nickel for every time I've said that, I'd be a billionaire

My craft room is in a walk in closet lol it works

Omg I agree about the dollar tree bins smelling bad! I was sure my closet had mold in it until I realized it was the bins.😂

When you make a project, do a giveaway. That way you get it out of your space and can move i On to the next thing.

I have a small craft room. Was my sons room. I put cardboard in the bottom of those DT organizers. I separated my stuff Christmas, fall, Halloween, Easter etc. Stuff that could be used for anything I put together. I put all my material together. Stencils together etc. The tiny things I got sectioned plastic holders. Get the ones in The fishing dept. at Walmart. They are cheaper than the ones in crafting. All my ribbon, I put in empty ribbon boxes from the Dollar Tree. They have lids. They stack. They did not care if I took them. I labeled everything. I don’t have a lot. I also got the small plastic totes. 4 for 10.00 I think at Walmart. I have them stacked and labeled. My husband is building me a shelving unit to put across one wall. You need something like that or some tall book shelves will hold the fabric organizers. I clipped together some cans and use them for pens, pencil, markers, brushes, scissors etc. I hope to one day make something for the ribbon to hang on the wall. It’s hard to get everything straight and keep it that way. 🌟. I just got mine somewhat organized.

Maybe if you wash the braided rope with extra fabric softener, .it may soften up

I have a craft room.

Me I never can get mine organized!!! I have so much stuff I don’t know what to do with it

You sound like me and trying to organize my craft stuff too. It is hard to decide

I just have the kitchen table, trying to get storage ideas

Donate what you have had and not used in 6 months or a year.

😊the rope can be used as a frame for pictures and signs.

You did a good job for such a small space. I wish my space was limited. I have 3 empty bedrooms upstairs and use them all! They are all organized but I know I'll never use all the stuff in there and DT keeps coming out with new stuff and I'm going crazy! I just bought all the new Easter products but I know I'll use them because I'm having back surgery next month and won't be able to do anything more strenuous than crafting. You made your space work for you to! ♥️

I'm 74. Most of my supplies are junk or were given to me. I break things down to their smallest parts and store those. 3 of us are in a 2BR apartment. Tina, Al's wife

Advice, don’t store too much weight on your shelves. Because as you already may know it will come out of the wall.

Idea for the large braid on a spool. You can use it to hide seams and outline borders

I loved this one. I share a lot of the same thoughts, so this was helpful. Thanks for sharing 💙
