Trying Professional Organizer HACKS In My ART STUDIO?! 

A few comments have said "make sure you donate the art supplies" and I would like to say that I did in fact mention that I would donate any art supplies that were still usable, but most of them were not and I had someone help chop some of this video down for me as it was over 4 hours long, they cut the part where I mentioned donating the puffy paint once I realized it was still full and usable. But I ended up keeping it anyway. To make it clear, I am heavily eco friendly, I donate clothes, items, old toys, unused product and my art supplies in the past I have usually collected and sent to people. Most recently I sent a big box to a young girl who didn't have many art supplies. I just don't splash that all over social media because I do things like that in private, so while I appreciate you mention me donating unused supplies, I do. And I didn't throw anything out except old dried out paint that was unusable to anyone.

Not me watching and taking notes for my studio hahaha

2:00 "my problem stems from the fact that I seem to be physically unable to remain organized" same. same chloe, same

Ahh I love how all those acrylic containers looked once they were full and labeled. Like a rainbow of artistic satisfaction!

Interior designer speaking, a little suggestion for the next organization video. Painting the inside of the dark cupboard with white paint will make the items in the back more visible. Right now, with not much lighting, you basically look into a black hole with items in it. A light colored wallpaper would do the trick too. :)

another tip for you Chloë: paint the tops of your paints so you can see the colours you have and just pick out the ones you need. (for the paints where you can't see the label but you can see the tops)

The art side of my room looks about like the before, but I call it my organized mess. It looks messy and unorderly to someone from the outside, but I know exactly where everything is. You need a blue Sharpie? It's in the right desk drawer in the back under the Blue's Clues towel. Sticky notes? In the Victoria's Secret bag behind the basket of canvases on the left underneath the box full of calculators. Lmfaooo

Nothing is more relaxing than staying in bed and watching Chloe's vid...

Whats your best organizing tip for your art supplies?! My favorites that I learned for this video: If you're limited in room, stack up if you have space vertically versus outwards IE use stackable containers Have clear containers that match and butt up against eachother with no space in between Pull everything to the front instead of pushing things to the back Pull everything out at once, get messy before you get organized so you can lay everything out at once Stack everything upright (my hack here for my paper and sketchbooks was to use a makeup palette holder) Utilize "shelf organizers" if you have lots of different things. This way you can see what is behind the other things instead of having to dig through everything to get to the back. I linked every product I used in this video in the description if you want to see what I used :) Thanks so much for watching!!

Chloe: im an organised person Her room at the start: yes if you say so

My problem was with holing on to old supplies. My rule is: Is it expensive? Is it hard to find? If I answer no to both questions, out it goes.

I feel like this sounds like a rude thing to say but seeing that you dont have like a gigantic hoard completely full of art supplies left and right in a giant studio like some other art channels ive seen makes me feel like more, able to organize my own things?Relatable? Like seeing you be able to organize all your art supplies that isnt in a gigantic studio while holding a whole bunch of just a bajillion art supplies makes me feel more connected to you i guess. I don't have alot of room so i don't have the best organization (alot is on the floor) but seeing you able to roganize your stuff very well in a small area itself makes me feel like ill be able to organize my own! And i don't mean that people shouldn't have a huge amount of art supplies because they all work hard to earn everything they get and absolutely deserve it but i feel more...i guess connected to you in a way? Im not sure but love your art and videos and the patience you have to paint for literally hours

Can I just say how much this video has made me feel better about myself and my crafting space. Honestly it's so refreshing to know the truth behind the scenes and it has honestly made me feel better whilst going through a rough time at the moment ❤

the start: FACTS 😌💅

Suggestion: those paints tubes with the flat top, use binder clips and put them on a cork board with pins or peg board. You can easily see the colour you want and access it without rummaging. I think I saw someone do that with watercolour tubes too, watercolour misfit maybe?

Thank you for putting into words my affliction: "...physically unable to stay organized..." and it's such a relief to see another person with the same struggles! I too love organizing and seeing organized stuff, but somehow I'm not able to keep it that way.

As soon as I said "I have nothing to watch" 🤩🤩chlo saving the day again

Collecting art supplies and using them are two very different hobbies. Thank you for motivating me to get all my craft supplies organized.

I have never felt so validated as when you showed your REAL studio and when you said you seem to be incapable of keeping it organised. I love you

Being an artist is honestly making a continuous mess and constantly organizing and reorganizing. The journey never ends. Thank you for the links!!

Chloe, I’d take the doors off the cabinets in that small space so you don’t have to struggle to open and reach in. It would also motivate you to keep it organized.

Chloe: I have my Cricut here that I’ve never used. Also Chloe: I bought pretty labels for my acrylic boxes. 😂🤣

Art supplies organizational videos are seriously my weakness. Love it! Favorite tip: find and use clear acrylic containers that have drawers if you need to stack containers more than 2 high. That way, you can access everything directly without having to make a mess of pulling everything down and having to re-stack things :)

I love the honesty and openness to show something that’s really hard to open up about

Me: cleans my craft room..... (Two days later) Me: uhhh I think I gotta clean it again

Me here in a messy room with every art tool I have scattered around on the floor eating Doritos : ahhhh *nom nom* I need this

I 👏 can 👏 not 👏 even 👏 begin to thank you ENOUGH for showing your filming space and setup!! My filming space looks just like this and I thought I was alone 😭 plus, I love seeing your equipment to get some inspiration! I LOVE your tips and ideas and what you did with your space!! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing 😊❤

Wow, an artist organizing her art studio. This was so much more helpful than a professional organizer throwing everything out and organizing 10% of the supplies that you need. I have an art space that looks like this but scattered in the garage, house and shed. Have your viewers send in photos of their art spaces. We are a oddly creative bunch that think outside the box. It would be interesting to see.

Another idea for your apple paint bottles is to take a dab of paint and place it on the white caps, that way you can see which color you're looking for, and they're standing right-side up :')

I wonder when/if you have your own house it'll be easier for you to stay clean & organized because you'll have more room or if it'll be worse because you'll have so much more to clean & organize & spread out in? I think it's easy for either to happen.

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one with a messy art space!! Thank you for showing me some tips on organizing!

I'm just starting out and it's comforting that it's not just me whose surfaces are a disaster and a half lol. Especially when you're in that creative space nothing gets neatly and quickly returned to order! Things just flying around 🤣

People get notifications and instantly run to see chloe

Can we appreciate how amazing Chloe is!

thank you, not only are you an absolute joy to watch, but i am in the middle of a huge remodel/re-organize in my whole house, my shop, and my studio... thank ya lovely, much appriciated.... also, you truly are an absolute joy to watch

I can’t wait for Chloe to get a art studio with some more space!! When you do can you do a video on it like organizing,tour,etc. ❤️❤️❤️

I also never considered her set-up but a walk-in closet is actually really smart: it is small, it can be well ventilated depending on if it on the edge of a building or if it is inside attached to a room, and sound will not bounce so there is little echo. Although yes: two lights, multiple cameras, microphones, and props for videos can become overwhelming real quick

Me: comes back from a hard day :( Chloe: Hello! My spirits: 📈📈📈📈📈📈

I have a huge desk and six drawers; now dived, my school books, my computer, my colors and markers, my coloring book, my pens, pencil, glue,and scissors. Thanks you Cloe, for your professional advice. 🤣😄😁, I'll just rewatch this video and maybe some more I haven't seen, I can fix my desk later.

Can hardly move around in both of my creative spaces, so no bad feelings needed! This helps to see how nice your supplies look and how they should be more available! Blessed and safe days!

looking at the comments, i guess i'm super lucky that being tidy comes easily to me. just seems like more work to have to hunt for my art supplies before i get creative than just being able to put my hand on it cos i know exactly where it is. life is much easier when everything is in it's own space.

I'm an art teacher and I have been using clear acrylic everything for a while now, because the kids will try to hide trash everywhere and I discovered that my very first year of teaching and I just said no clear everything. if it's on their desk at all it's clear and if it's not clear it's not on their desk it's by me. XD I would highly suggest instead of chalk labels get a label maker. They don't peel off so easily, but they still can come off cleanly and it will always be legible.

Well Chloe you are fun to watch even when trying to organize! Please do not worry about being "professional" Most of us lumber along as best as we can I think you did a great job and it looks so much better and easier to use to I am willing to bet! Keep you head held high and we will see you next video!

Heyy. I discovered a hack for my own studio. Pegboards! Honestly, pegboards on the wall saves SO MUCH SPACE! All those paint tubes can hang from pegs, containers of non-tube paints can be on top of pegs, cup holders for pens/brushes, shelves for cans and such on top of pegs. I can now throw away a table shelves!

This is too good. The intro with all the tik toks killed me. I am so excited 😁 Also thank you for posting it made my messy life better

I commented but I'm guessing it was removed because I added a link. It was just so I could show what I was talking about. I'll try to describe it. I've seen people use those clear, hanging, shoe racks that they put on the back of their doors, to put their large acrylic paint tubes in. I mean the ones you showed that are in clear plastic tubes with the blue labels. I hope that helps ^-^

Yes, this sounds so familiar! In my art room I have to get vertical. My horizontal surfaces are covered with STUFF, so there isn't any place left to work. Nowhere to go but UP! I need a wall rack that holds transparent bins. Thanks for energizing me. 😊

Glad I'm not alone in needing to reorganize. I've been working on reorganizing my own space. I just have a small RU-vid channel, but the need to stay organized is real. Thanks for sharing your tips. :)

I also thought it was pronounced "cry-cut" and honestly I'm so glad I'm not the only one haha

I'm somewhat surprised that not many people use the, "Make more chaos to remove chaos", method. That's what I've always grown up learning, but many people around me thought I was insane. I always just say, "How do you know what you need to organize if you can't see it all?"

The organization containers are a big investment, but sooooo worth it! Having a craft space where everything has a place (and looks pretty and/or neat when in place) just makes things so much nicer, and you don’t have the stress of the mess. 💜

If I could offer some tips. I have a similar size space and supply volume. 1. Organize that pen jumble. You will regret a cluster pile later. 2. Only stack up if you put least used down first. 3. use that michaels bag for your upcoming video. Load it and put it on the desk before shooting to avoid mid video messes.

*I don’t want much for myself. I just want the person reading this to be healthy, happy and loved. Wish you a good day.*

The amount of anxiety I had seeing all those paints... on a carpet

I can totally relate. While not an artist I am a teacher. This means I have heaps of art supplies, craft supplies, books, stationary and resources.

That white cupboard with the flower pattern is really pretty. It would be cool if it got sanded down and painted.

YAY!! I wasnt having the best day but now I have an amazing video to watch tysm I love you sm chloeee

i would just make the walk-in closet my bedroom and make my bedroom the studio.

I'm the same way! I love watching people organize and seeing my stuff organized but in reality I am a super disorganized and messy person! Hahah

I LOVE organizing. Cleaning is horrible, but every now and again I pull everything out of my cupboards and throw them on the floor, go over everything and put them back more neatly. It's the best. And apparently I also like watching someone else do it! Those raised platforms are a cool idea, might have to get some of those.

Life lesson " make more mess to get rid of the mess"😂😂 it's.not her exact words but....

you should sell your canvases that you said you have so many of. I know for a fact a lot of people would love to own your original artwork. just an idea :)

LOVE IT! It will still get untidy often, but now you have allocated a place for everything, tidying up with go super fast.

While watching this video I decided to organize my little cart I got from IKEA that holds most of my art supplies I use on a daily basis. It’s amazing how it has become a dumping place for things I haven’t put away or needed to discard. Thanks for the motivation!

I say this all the time ( because it’s who I am) but artist is just a fancy word for hoarder😂😂😂

I just watched Chloe organized for 30 minutes straight ✨❤️

Yess! I love organisation, I CAN be good at it.. but consistency is almost impossible especially when I get in the flow of creating. A few minutes in and I'm loving it! Thank you! X

I am struggling with being a multimedia artist in a small area, and felt the messiness before the calm in my soul! You did so well, Chole!! Great results, so satisfying.

Cool vid

i forgot she filmed in a walk-in closet lol

Seeing other people in cramped messy spaces makes me feel better about my cramped and messy space. You are already more organized than me before you started organizing.

I love organizing art supplies and it’s great to be watching you do so.

"Just keep getting messy before getting better." -Chole 2021 Am I on crack or is this legit a really good quote for people who struggle with achieving something?🤔👌🏻

No one : Literally no one : Me : sees Chloe uploads *clicks faster than Chloe can say Hello There*

This video is giving me life! This is speaking to my craft space and giving me therapy at the same timeeeeeee 😛😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Really nice! Thank you for sharing, my friend. I enjoyed watching it until the end. I hope you have a happy day.

Me about to revise: okay lets get this over and done with Notification for chloes videos: that can waittt

I viewed the video when it says no views and i am the second comment. I am speed ❤️ Have a great day/night/ evening everyone im !

This video makes me feel so much better about my own art space, I'm not alone in having to work with a tiny space and being terrible at staying organized lol

A cool trick I saw my friend do was mount binder clips on the wall (You could mount them to a separate piece of wood that you can hang on the wall the same as a picture frame) and use the little squeezy clip parts to hold the bottom of paint tubes. So all her paint was displayed on the wall and easy to see. And it looked cool!

No one: Me: Clicks faster than Capone can say "Oh no Oh no Oh no no no no no"

Omg I'm never so early!!, LOVE YOU CHLOE

I also have a secret giant pile of mess on the floor next to me during EVERY video. It’s just what happens in the rush of filming and trying to keep the desk and on-camera area so tidy 😂

3 of my favorite things: Art Supplies, Organizing, and Chloe! 💕 Love these kinds of videos!!

Hahah the start

Omg I’m early ly Chloe!

Chloe! Your left over cleaner organizing makeup palates plastic/ glass slots in that so the gouache would not make a mess. I know your metallic gouache in a box but it would help so the other ones would not go sliding around the clear container. If you read this I am a HUGE fan and I would like to thank you for your funny awesome content! Have a good day!

I think you did a fantastic job organizing your art supplies. If you don’t want to stack the containers in the black cabinet, you could add some shelves. It would make accessing the lower containers much more convenient. Another quick tip for removing dried paints, adhesives, etc. is to put some hand sanitizer on it and let soak for about 1 minute. It should wipe right off. That way you don’t have to scrape it off the marble. If you are interested, another great organizer is Clutter Bug here on YT. She actually helps break down ways of organizing based on your personal style, which will help you stay organized. Again, great job!

Chloe: throw them out because they use up valuable realestate my mind: thats free real estate.

Notification from chloe: ooo yey art Open the video: oooooo tRasHhhh iM tHe tRasH mAn

You are such a joy to watch. Especially in these trying times. Thanks for the smile I always have on my face when I watch you .

You can also add some drawer inserts that are meant for socks to stand the paint tubes upright :)

Omg I'm earlyyyyy

"wipes are so bad for the environment" - spends 150$ on plastic containers 😂

This was a great video. Flashback to me reorganising my room. I did a very similar process and now have everything in clear containers. I also film my videos in my bedroom which is a good excuse to tidy up after me or I won't be able to get into bed. Lol

Take the doors off the cupboard behind your chair, so you can get stuff out easily and put it back without a struggle. Maybe having all on display will encourage you to keep it neat. Looks great BTW.

Chloe, I love you but please be careful about just saying "that's bad for the environment (and is bad)". I understand that you meant that with the best intentions, but that kind of mindset, and promoting that kind of mindset, leads to judgment on people's individual circumstances. I'm disabled and sometimes the only way I can get clean is to use a wet wipe. I know you would say that's fine, but I have heard plenty of people say that any usage at all is bad - and that kind of thinking is just a more black-and-white version of what you said. I've known people who are visibly disabled get evil eyed for using plastic straws, when many disabled people need them and alternatives won't work. Targeting single use products is great, but it shouldn't be the main goal of any environmental activism to disallow them or demonise people who might use them (not saying you're doing this, it's just a problem I have with a lot of environmental activism). What we need to be doing is looking at ourselves and our lives holistically. You were upset about using wet wipes when you bought multiple acrylic plastic containers online and had them shipped to your house. In the span of time, the containers will be here long after the wet wipes have degraded. But even before that, you have the production of the chemicals for the plastic, the transporting of the plastic nurdles, the manufacturing of the containers, the energy usage of listing them online, the energy usage of you buying them, and the pollution from them being delivered to your house. And how are any of these workers being treated? We know Amazon workers are treated horribly, but what about in any of these factories? What about the company that produced them? What about the company that produced the plastic for them? I'm not judging you for this at all, because it's just not something you think of. You are not to blame for the problems, the companies are. So we need to be targeting the companies above all else - including to make wet wipes more environmentally friendly - and look at the changes we can make in our own lives to better facilitate that. Practice what we preach, y'know? Find the points in our lives where we could be doing better (not perfect, just better) and working out how to do that. No one person is ever going to produce no waste and no pollution/damage to the planet. It's impossible, especially right now at this point in time. Disabled people are often seen as a burden on other people, and on the environment due to the amount of things we are unable to give up or need to survive. I use wet wipes, fleeces, have multiple electronic devices. I ideally need to use cars. I pollute the water system with the amount of medication I'm on. I order almost everything I have online and have it delivered to me from the other side of the world. But I have looked and I can't give it up. I can't make my life uncomfortable for someone else to feel better about themselves for ~saving the planet~. However, I am a vegetarian/mostly vegan, because that is a major source of pollution and I don't want to be responsible for the slaughter of intelligent, sentient animals. I am working on a garden and hope to grow a lot of my own vegetables. And I actively avoid companies that treat their workers and the environment poorly, and I tell other people to, too. These are the kind of mass changes we need to make, collectively, as individuals. We need to stop looking to ourselves and to others to stop this when we can do very, very little to change anything. The people in power in governments and in giant corporations (like Disney!) are the ones who are able to fix this. We need to stop telling other people to give up plastic straws or whatever because the main source of plastic pollution in the ocean are discarded fishing nets from mass commercial fishing. Stopping buying products that pollute is a good first step, but not everyone can or will. So we need to look to those companies and governments to make better products and deal with the harsh reality right now, however unpopular. Ultimately, we need to look past this system of capitalism and consumerism. Buying things and showing them off, rinse repeat. I'm sorry this only partially related to what you said in the video, which I know you meant as a throwaway line out of good intentions, but I really have a lot of issues with how environmentalism is currently being handled and aimed at individuals, and I needed to explain that to explain why I think people should be more careful about this kind of thinking. Again, I really like you and your videos, and I personally also do art and crafting so I know that there are a lot of earth-unfriendly products that you kind of have to buy if you want to create high quality etc. pieces. I also love tidying so I loved this video! I got part way through redoing my bedroom when the pandemic struck and now it's partly done and moving slowly, but this has really gotten me in the mood to do some cleaning and organising around here! (pity it's 11:30pm lmao). Anyway sorry for the massive essay about environmentalism and disability on a gosh darn organising-art-supplies video. I literally have three essays I need to write for uni and none of them are about this or supposed to be submitted through youtube comments haha why have I done this to myself

I’ve mounted my lights on the ceiling. It works wonders for making use of floor space. There are very inexpensive brackets on AMZ, then you can add adjustable poles to get them just right.

Cloe u r just the best .U should get the award for the best youtuber on Earth and n you will get it soon .No seriously I am nit kidding . I purely just love your videos.

This video and the fact that its a nice day and I got out of work early makes me want to be productive but I'm living out of boxes (moving) and don't have furniture to organize.
