    As someone who struggles with ADHD the, "out of sight, out of mind" has always left me rolling my eyes at storage "hack videos" that focus on finding cute bins to tuck everything away into. If I don't physically see something, I never end up using it. I really love how much thought and planning went into each storage solution you came up with.

    Great ideas and well organized presentation! As a retired educator, I am always so happy to hear how my fellow art community is including their children in their exploration of the creative process. Children learn by watching and DOING. The way you have their supplies organized and accessible right next to your materials, tells your children that they are equal partners in the creative process and that you value their art. 👍🏼😊

    Hi JD. I can't believe the timing of finding this video. I am in the midst of reorganizing my craft room because having moved to a smaller house, the craft room is also much smaller and has just not been working for me. I took note of the "out of sight out of mind" mantra. I will be moving a lot of my supplies to more open storage so that I will see them and actually use them. Great video. Thanks so much. 😊

  • @JessicaSmith-gd1fu
    @JessicaSmith-gd1fu 5 років тому +8

    I loved your kid's corner. My oldest grandchild will be 18 next month. She has had access to anything in the secretary since she could reach the board that lowers to make the desk. She and her brother used to head straight there when they came over. The giant set of colored pencils sits out on a book shelf to this day. Most recently I used it to graph out a pattern for an afghan. My granddaughter earned a scholarship to study fine arts in college. So glad I could encourage her passion. You have given me several good ideas for my sewing room. Thanks!

    I loved all the organization ideas and I am sharing with my friends! It's so important to have all your supplies organized and visually available, as well as pleasing to the eye! Thanks for all the ideas! My favorite was your organization with the business cards. I have so many old business cards and knew I could use then for something! I don't have as many mini inkers as you do.. but it is growing! I am also expanding into many types of paper crafting and learning blending ideas with my stamps! I LOVE the way your ink pads are all organized in your ikea dresser as well as in your swatch book! Brava! I just moved and have been unpacking and trying to organize everything! Your tips are really helpful! Thank you so much!!

    Just a hint. I use velco placed 1" apart across my shelves and the other part on the bottom of each organizer. That way you can arrange all the different pieces where you want and chage them as needed. Now, no more sliding organizers! Love your ideas!

    JD - you are a genius!!! You have a clean and calm sense of organization as well as an obvious love of the process of collecting, housing and using your materials. I look forward to watching and rewatching your tutorials until I am myself educated in the habits of the well-organized artist. I have a great many THINGS....I know where they all are but the sheer volume of the mosaics and brushes and many varied pots of embossing powder, tubes of acrylic paint and various mediums, substrates, epoxies, letter tiles, LOTS of paper and interesting types of paper and interesting things done with the paper (I do a lot of repurposing paper into crazy unexpected things), stamps, ink pads, stencils., rulers, cutting mats, book binding gear, a box of encaustic material ready to be used but NO ROOM to lay it out and work and learn and it goes on and on.........I LOVE AND ADORE the stuff I've collected over the past 15 or so years but I have NO clear/empty table space left at this point. None. So, many many thanks for your Organization Tutorials: I will hopefully be able to clear off enough enough counter space/table top space so I can get back to work. Be well and be safe. And Thank You! Caroline

      I agree also. Some you tubers may have good content but it rakes them forever to get it out & when they do it’s in a very irritating voice that’s so hard to listen to. There’s one particular You Tuber who is on a design team so she gets crazy amounts of product & then keeps using the same phrases over & over until you start counting them instead of listening to what’s she’s talking about. What a waste of my time. She also uses the same words likely “absolutely “ and “adorable” and “gorgeous “. Has no vocabulary at all. Some viewers have pointed all that to her. She apologizes but keeps doing it. I want to pull my hair out ( & hers, too!! ) Geez. You’re great, JD. keep it up. Love you & l never miss your videos. Hugs.🤗🤗🤗👍❤️❤️❤️😊😊

    I have a lot of craft supplies for all kinds of crafts but I am very cheap when it comes to my storage (if I spend money on storage containers I cant spend money on craft supplies.) This is just one of the things I use in my craft room: for my pens I have found that the rolls that vinyl comes in are great. I cut them to size then hot glued them together for a stand up pen holder. I also use empty mayo containers for pens. I cut them past the neck till it is more tube like run a sand paper over the edge then put the pens in, they keep the different kinds of pens separate and they are in the house any way already paid for. I also use a lot of clear plastic jars for small things. and for shelves I bought cinder blocks and wood for that.

      Me too! Recycles every kind of container… mushroom cartons, cut down any squares container such as alcohol bottles etc. when I cut down a container, in a well ventilated space, I heat a stove eye or my crafting fondue pot (removeable pot and separate heating surface) turn the container upside down and hold to the surface a few seconds to smooth the edge and make it level. I like repurposing! If my room liked as nice as some on line I wouldn’t want to mess it up…lol

      I once had ants attack my rice so I turned to dry beans as a substitute. I also use beans to separate a set of dental type tools that I purchased on Amazon. These tools are perfect for not only clay application, but I use them to create texture in my paint, poke out paper pieces from detailed metal dies, along with picking up small jewels, and seed beads. Their uses are endless. In fact, I had to purchase my husband a set for his tool/wood workshop when several of my tools went ‘missing’. LOL

      I use clear acrylic organizers to store my paint brushes and tools in. I bought plastic beads from Hobby Lobby to fill them and help my brushes and tools stand up. I found them in the floral arrangement department. They're not only functional but more attractive than rice or beans as another person mentioned. And no chance of attracting bugs.

    another handy item … for ribbons, install a metal shoe rack on the inside of your door. Get a bunch of wooden rods. Make an S shape out of a large paper clip and place two at the ends of each metal row. Hang the wooden dowels between the paper clips. Two dowels will take up the row for one pair of shoes. (I have 13 rows full of spools of ribbon!)

    All of the craft room organization videos I've watched seem to be from crafters who apparently make cards, etc. for a living, and have MASSIVE amounts of every category of craft items! I'm small time, I don't have room (or budget) to have that many crafting supplies, but I still manage to find my very eclectic assortment of crafts (from painting ceramics, to woodburning, to stamping, to scrapbooking, and beyond!), in a tangle.
    I like your basic ideas, and I may be able to finagle some of them. I can probably make a storage box from thin plywood, as well as a tray. ;-) (Yes, I dabble in woodworking, too!) For me, the ink blending tools, I think I'd store them handles DOWN, so I could readily see what color they were used with! ;-)
    Cheers!

      Like you I don't do crafting as a business, but I have collected quite a bit, and needing lots of storage was expensive. So my solution was, since everything is out in the open to make it easy on the eye and pocketbook I looked around for all sizes of cardboard boxes, and went to my local fabric store and got some fabric on sale and covered all the boxes, using a glue gun and a bit of trim, I also made dividers out of cardboard and covered them,.then stored my glues, stickles etc. They turned out great and look great and now everything has a nice home, die, stamp sets, washi tape ribbon and embellishments. etc.

      DzyMsLizzy as far as ink blending tools, do you really use more than 4 or 5 at a time? You only need that many handles as the foams fit perfectly in the bottom of most of the mini inkers! Just sit right in there, grab a handle and the ink, and it’s all there! I’ve got foams under all my minis and I own 6 handles. Once I start a project, I’ve never had to switch foams!

      Just an idea that has worked really well for me, if you end up using flower pots would be to consider a plant stand. That's what I've used for years. It's great because it easily accessible but doesn't take up room on your work surface. You can move it around and if you have other pots with with different tools you can swap out pots based on what you need.

      This is so true. Sometimes you can even find very similar items in other departments that are half the price of something in the craft department. For example, have you priced those boxes ofen used for beads and small items? The ones with the small dividers to make little compartments. If they are sold for beads, the cost is nearly double the price of one sold for fihing tackle. I always try to look in many different depts. of a store.

  • @susanjane4784
    @susanjane4784 5 років тому +4

    Some I haven't heard of, some I have, but I love the business card 3-ring ink index! What a great way to keep them safe and yet totally visible. I've messed up ink pad indexes before which is heartbreaking after hours of work. This project is now on my list... after 20 years I'm about to index my wood mounted stamps! An additional storage idea are clear lipstick and nail polish holders with little compartments -- mine is stairstep style and holds my Big Brush Pitt pens and my Stickles. Also, different pens and markers are best stored in different ways -- check directly with the manufacturer since some are flat, while are some point down or up which means everyone is confused! Your pens and markers will last a whole lot longer if you store them to factory specifications.
