Craft Room Organization Update - Part 2


Welcome to Part 2 of my Craft Room Organization Update!  The following photos go around the room, from right to left.  This will be a little long, but I really want to share exactly how I've managed to organize my massive amount of supplies in a relatively small space.

The shelving unit in this picture holds all of my beading, polymer clay, and leather supplies as well as my greeting cards, paper punches, stamps & stamp pads, and a few other bins of miscellaneous supplies.  Each shelf can hold 12 plastic shoe bins with room to spare!!

On the wall, I've worked out a way to keep all of my most used supplies at my fingertips.  The bookshelf will eventually hold my organizational binders, art journals, Keri Smith books, a container of gesso, and a sewing kit.  The  "Bygel rails" from Ikea are actually sold for kitchen organization, but when I saw them, I HAD to have them for my craft room!  The "Bygel wire basket" on the right bar stores my various glues and jewelry pliers and the 3 "Bygel containers" will hold my many scissors, pens, pencils, paint brushes, and markers.  I stretched the hooks on "Dignitet curtain rings with clips" so I could hang zip lock bags containing rubber bands, craft sticks, glue dots, baggies, plastic gems, and my spare clip hooks.

The sewing desk is able to open up so I'm able to pull my chair right up and under the desk.  It has some shelves inside to store supplies and has a shelf underneath in the back to hold my sewing machine when it's not in use.

This shelving unit holds most of my paper-crafting supplies.  I could fit up to 10 plastic scrapbook containers on a single shelf, but I've just intermixed my shoe bins and my scrapbook containers.

All of my 12"x12" scrapbook paper is in the containers on the lower shelf in this picture and on the shelf above that is my new & vintage ephemera, stickers, small papers, fabric paint, and some other miscellaneous supplies.

In this picture and the one above, you can see parts of the closet, which was originally full of household storage and some of my hubby's belongings.  There's still some non-crafty things on the top shelf, but at least I have the rest of the space for supplies.

The shelving unit on the right side of the closet has my craft books, specialty paper, sewing supplies, buttons, ribbon, lace, household paints, and other miscellaneous supplies.

On the left-hand shelving unit, I have most of my mixed-media/"altering" supplies.  This includes cigar boxes, books & journals, puzzles, picture frames, unfinished wood items, artificial flowers/moss/gourds, paper mache items, etc as well as my acrylic paints, paint brushes, and stamp carving supplies.

Between the two shelving units, I've piled my gift wrapping supplies such as bags, paper, and curling ribbon.  To the left of the beige shelves are my art canvases and larger pieces of cut wood.

In a future post, I will give step-by-step instructions on how to organize and store your craft supplies as I have in my craft room.

  1. I'm really looking forward to your step by step guide/instructions on how you created such an organized craft room in so little time!

    As a hoarder, I'm hoping to do what you did as part of my New Year Resolutions! And like you, have started to use crafting as a destresser, but my hoard may be taking up too much space.

    Thank you for your post. It's inspiring and hopeful! I found your blog through your etsy shop. I find myself fav. all your fortune ephermera at each visit!

    Thanks again! So motivating!
