I made a pop-up crafting room out of old briefcases and suitcases. They stack very nicely when not in use and look decorative.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

How adorable!! Love this idea!! 🧶🧶🧶

A more eclectic idea, an old guitar case

I found an old partial board cabinet on the side of the road, brought it home, painted it with leftover chalk paint, spray painted the hardware gold now it sits in my dining room and holds all my crochet supplies. Can’t beat free! Love this video! My crafting space is in my dining room because it’s the best hiding spot from my two young kiddos. 🤣

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

I absolutely love finding things on the side of the road!! I've also found some great furniture pieces including a gorgeous antique mirror! And lol about the dining room!! Mommas gotta do what mommas gotta do!! ❤️😂❤️😂

[@rebeccaclark2614]

This really inspired me, thank you! I have a small-ish bedroom where I have to keep all of my clothes, books, things for school, ... just about everything plus my many craft supplies 😜 It definitely taught me to be creative and also how to install shelves 🤭 I am currently planning to sew a big pocket-yarn holder that will hang on the back of my door so that space is also used 🙂

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Now that's a brilliant idea!!! Wish I had thought about utilizing the back of a door!! 🧶🧶🧶

[@dolldesigna9681]

For my craft room, I divided my bedroom to half 😄 I’ve a whole wall full of yarn 🥰🥰 it’s the best decorations one can do for a room

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Ooh! I bet it's gorgeous!!! 🧶🧶🧶

[@marietamura4534]

I turned my very small dining room into my craft room. Using alot of repurposed furniture to make it work for me. It's always evolving with my new interests and needs. Of course, all of my yarn is there as well.

I mostly knit and craft in my living room. I have several ikea kallax book shelves and theyre great. Ive recently gone through mine and put away my calligraphy books and tossed items that literally cant be used because theyve hardened. It felt so good putting away things that make me unhappy and to make room for something i enjoy.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

That is awesome!!! I've been decluttering my home for the past year and i totally understand the feeling! 🧶🧶🧶

[@ktd3184]

Oh my gosh, thank you! I just had an epiphany about a space that is seldom used now and could become my new craft room! With kids leaving home there are new possibilities for storage and use of rooms. I am so excited about the prospect of making that room my own personal crafting haven.

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Hugs from across the Pond to you lovely lady 💖 Love craft rooms, they’re just full of loveliness. I adore my craft room, even though it’s the smallest room in the house, there’s not enough room to swing a cat in there as they say and you’d be hard pressed to decide if it was any bigger than Harry Potter’s abode in the cupboard under the stairs, but it’s mine all mine and my heavenly sanctuary.

This was awesome! I have had some interesting craft spaces in each of my homes. The house we are currently in has. ZERO extra room inside, but we bought cubbies from Ikea and put them in the garage 8 sets of the 16 cube cubbies. They hold a LOT. I had 3 of them just for my yarn craft and sewing things. It wasn't my favorite space but it was functional. I just brought in whatever I was working on... sometimes multiple projects (ok a lot of the time it was 3 or 4 at a time) and kept each on in a basket so I could carry it to wherever I planned to knit or crochet. All my stuff is packed up except for a bag of hooks and some needles and a few projects I'm working on now because we are moving. This video got me so excited about setting up my new craft space at our new house... most likely it will be in the basement but I will definitely carry my projects around the house with me too!

you've given me an idea...in the next 6-8 months I've got to leave my home in order for it to be sold and money divided between us remaining siblings (it's the family home) my plan is to downsize (yup, THAT's not going to be easy when you're a yarn-o-holic) put a granny flat in the backyard of my actual home and share the property with one of my sons and partner..so the idea of walking around IKEA and getting inspiration from their displays will be a good one, and just an excuse to go there...I'll be able to take pics and work out how to use my existing stuff once I know the parameters of the building..

I have a mega huge craft studio. We live in an old hall and the hall auditorium is divided in half..one is my gallery and the other is my huge craft space..it has looms and spinning wheels...a 14ft table..paints..easel etc. But as this video was posted I was on week 2 of a huge studio declutter. Too much stuff was crippling my creativity..I listened to a great audiobook called Decluttering at the Speed of life..and it clicked. I have paired down to a reasonable amount of supplies and the rest is trashed or the extras will go to my favorite animal charity. Its starting to look much much better..Size does not matter..before this we were on a farm and my craft room was tiny..but I still loved it.

We've moved quite often and I've had small and spacious crafting spaces in the different houses. It seems I fill up whatever amt. of space I have, so I think the smaller areas force us to be neater and more efficient in our use of space. I'm ready to pare down and reorganize so maybe I'll check my library for this audio book! Thx for the tip.

Another great video. I love IKEA and all my craft room furniture is from there. I am very lucky to have an IKEA that’s less then thirty minutes drive away from my home. Sometimes I just go there to go to the restaurant and get Swedish meat balls, and a dime bar cake! My craft room is a spare bedroom. It’s also my music room as I have my electric piano in there. It’s also my home office as I currently work from home cos of the pandemic. So it can get a bit chaotic in there at times! Thank you again for the storage tips x

I've just seen your video on suffering from Corjio, not sure but haven't picked up any work for few weeks!!
I think having seen this video has made me realise that I MUST sort out my crafting space!!
I just saw a table with wheels which would make my life much better as I'm using a wobbly table that I need to pick up to move around, honestly!
The other problem I have is that I live in the UK and my flat is on the ground floor which means damp. Because of this, I'm always worried to display the little animals and bags that I've made. I keep everything in sealed boxes which is not inspirational and I don't see my yarns at all. Also, what do you do about dust sitting on your lovely animal on display?
As always I have loved watching your video as you are such a lovely lady with great ideas :)
