- Small Craft Room Organization | Craft Space Organization on a Budget | Dollar Tree Organization
This is a different type of video for this channel but I thought I would take you along in my process to organize my craft room....which is really a front room in my home so I store all of my supplies in a closet. I didn't buy any thing to do the organization but used things I already had on hand.

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
haha I’m glad you could relate! I try to be real. 😊
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 put all my signs into my blanks..... you can always make them over. Looks like you are doing a great job! Carts on wheels are my fav! That cool rope can be wrapped around a cardboard box as trim to hide the edges of whatever you put on the box to hide the cardboard. I'm using the cardboard boxes as storage containers covered with adhesive paper. They make great storage. The Posh Paper Lady has some great makeovers. ❤❤❤ Love this! You could add some more shelves into the closet to make use of vertical space.
Sounds like you have a good handle on it and are making progress! The toughest part for me is always mentally figuring out what I want to do. haha Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts on this!❤️
@@SimplyEnjoyingCrafting I'm still sorting stuff out and trying to find a place for it...I would rather be crafting....🤣😂🤣... I think I'm going to clear a spot and get to making something!
@@jenxu2 there you go! A little reward for your efforts. ☺️
I love your thought processes. I can relate! Lol
Great job organizing’
Thanks Kendra! ☺️
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!
I can see how maybe you wouldn’t get out there as much but how awesome to have a space like that!! ☺️
This is exactly how my brain works as well, I can never decide how to categorize.
Yes! I'm not great at decision making. 😂
I need to get better at keeping my items organized. Nice job 😊
Yes, maintaining is the really tough part! 😂 Thanks Kristin!
You sound exactly like me and how I talk to myself everytime I try to do anything
Haha glad I’m not alone! ☺️
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 😊
Oh, interesting! I've never heard of that. 😊 I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
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.
Oh, that's a great idea! Thanks for sharing the idea!
under your shelf you could use hanging storage for shoes and fill with plastic shoe boxes
Great idea!
My craft area is in my small bedroom. We share lol
haha hey, we work with what we've got, right?! 😊
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 ❤
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We all have different situations so I figured it’d be nice to offer a video from the perspective from someone working with a smaller space. I knew there would be some that could relate. ☺️
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’m so glad you came across this video and can relate! Haha I understand your struggle. 😊 I’m glad it could motivate you and I hope you can make progress with your own crafty stuff. 😊❤️
❤ 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.
It's fun to go through everything because often you find things you forgot about! Yes, the braided rope would be great to use for a basket! Thanks for watching and commenting!😊
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? 😂
haha exactly!!! 😂
I have a craftroom! I prefer to have my personal, quiet space to get away from the day.
That’s wonderful!
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!
@@hooklineandinker haha I’ve been tempted but I don’t think I would craft as much due to the patterns of my day if I had to go to that space to craft. 🤷🏻♀️😊
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.
Reorganizing does sometimes make it hard to find stuff because you can't remember. haha Good for you for getting it done and getting rid of things as well! ☺
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. 🌻😊💛
Thank you for chatting at the premiere Sarah! You'll be so relieved when you get yours done! Keeping it organized is another story. 😂 Have a great week girl! ❤️
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.
Sounds like you've got a plan to tackle it. 😊 Decluttering definitely can make organizing easier. 😊
I have a fairly large craft space, but getting organized is still difficult. I think you did a great job with your chosen space 🙂
Yes, organization is tough for me! I just want to figure out the BEST way...and so I usually just put it off. haha Thank you! ☺
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
Sounds like it's a big task but you can do it! ☺️
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.
Sounds a bit like me! Haha
@@SimplyEnjoyingCrafting Kindred spirits. 😁
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.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I definitely have minimal gadgets and supplies. Sometimes I think I should expand a little but I do try and keep it contained so I have limits. ☺️
Love the organizing! But I would label everything. Otherwise I wouldn’t find it when I needed it.
Yes, you could certainly do that! 😊
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!
It can be tough but you can do it! With a little creativity, we can create a space in any situation. 😊
Rope for hot gluing to a frame for embellishment!❤
That’s a great suggestion! Thanks!
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.😊
Sounds like you’ve used some creative ideas for your craft organization too! I try really hard to not have more than can be contained in that closet. I’m glad you liked the video! 😊
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.😂
haha It was so bad! The smell did get better, but it took awhile. 😂 I guess it’s the price you pay for a good deal.😂
I can relate😊
haha Glad I’m not alone!! 😊
moving to a 10x12
shed this spring/summer, and I need ideas shabby chic style
Sound like a fun project! 😀
The rope ribbon would look great wrapped around a vase
Great idea!!
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 love a good multi-use space. ☺️ Mine is definitely that....I just have to learn to keep it tidy in between my crafting sessions. haha Glad you enjoyed it! And yes, that's a great idea for the braided rope/trim (not sure what to call it 😂).
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.
Great idea!!
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!
Those are great ideas! ❤️ I know I used some of it on a pumpkin DIY and used the braided rope in the pumpkin ridges….I think I used it in something else too but I can’t recall at the moment. 😊 It would look great wrapped around a basket though!
My craft room is in a walk in closet lol it works
That's so great! I think you can make any space work. ☺️
you could have a spot for your embellishment items , such as the little wood things you showed on your post
Good idea! ☺️
I loved this one. I share a lot of the same thoughts, so this was helpful. Thanks for sharing 💙
Yay, I'm so glad you liked it! ☺️
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!
Thanks so much! 😊 I love those ideas for the trim....I really like the handles for a basket! You just like to be frugal and reuse things.....a pack rat with a purpose! 😂 Thank you Favi. ❤️
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.
Oh that's great! I ended up sorting similarly. I'm always wondering though, if an item would be better in a different category. haha No need to overthink though. ☺️ Thanks for sharing what you've done. Lots of great ideas!
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
A cart like that would definitely be a great option! I didn't want to purchase anything for this particular organization process and just utilize what I had on hand. But yes, a cart would work great. ☺
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! 🙂👍🏻❤️
Thanks, I like those thoughts! It's hard because even if an item is likely to be used in a certain way, you never know what you could come up with. And if it's tucked away then it won't get used. These types of decisions are way too hard for me. 😂
@@SimplyEnjoyingCrafting Same. 🤣😂❤️
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 totally get that! I could designate a guest bedroom for my crafting but I simply wouldn’t use it as much. 🤷🏻♀ Plus I’d be tempted to keep way more on hand than I should. 😂
😊the rope can be used as a frame for pictures and signs.
Yes, it would be great for that!
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😂
Hey, we make what we have work! If we want to craft, we will find a way! 😊
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! ♥️
Thank you Diane! We are fortunate to have 3 spare bedrooms too...but I really try and keep them free for guests. And when we do have guests, we usually have little ones so I don't want stuff for them to get into. 😂 And one room can be used for guests but is also filled with my husbands musical gear. ☺️ It definitely has helped having a more limited space....it keeps me somewhat under control. Prayers for your upcoming surgery and happy crafting in recovery! ❤️
Maybe if you wash the braided rope with extra fabric softener, .it may soften up
Oh that’s a good idea!
I just have the kitchen table, trying to get storage ideas
I hope you found some ideas! Whether it's tucking a caddy in a cupboard or using a rolling cart and putting it in a closet, there are creative ways even if space is limited. 😊
Idea for the large braid on a spool. You can use it to hide seams and outline borders
Oh, great idea! Thanks!
Why not keep backstock and Christmas and hallowe’en in a spare bedroom?
That could definitely be an option! I do try and keep my crafting supplies limited to this space but putting off season stuff elsewhere could work too. ☺
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.
It's hard when we don't have much space to work with or a lot of options. I'd go through and purge anything I don't think I would use anymore, if there is any of that. 😉 Then look for creative storage solutions, store like things together so you can just pull out a container or caddy (or two) when you have a project to work on. Over the door shoe organizers are great and can be used on the inside of the door. I have one of those in my front coat closet....and I don't use it for shoes. But it doesn't take up any floor space so it's kind of like bonus space that would otherwise go unused. You've got this! Just tackle one area at a time!
You sound like me and trying to organize my craft stuff too. It is hard to decide
Haha I’m glad you can relate! Yes, the decision making is always the hardest part for me. ☺️
I have a craft room.
That's so great Laura! I bet that's wonderful. ☺️
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…
Those are some really great suggestions 😊
Me I never can get mine organized!!! I have so much stuff I don’t know what to do with it
That can be so tough! Maybe start by trying to use up some stuff. That will move stuff through and also maybe help you pinpoint things you don't actually want to use and can get rid of. Sometimes it's a process. 😊
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.
That’s a fun idea!
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
That's awesome! Where there is a will, there is a way. Sounds like you've found a way to make it work where you are at. 😊
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.
That's definitely a good thought! I would love to have that space in the closet to use for other things. 😊
"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
haha glad you can relate. Or sorry you can relate. 😂
Donate what you have had and not used in 6 months or a year.
That’s usually my timeline rule for clothes. 😊
Advice, don’t store too much weight on your shelves. Because as you already may know it will come out of the wall.
Yes, great tip! I've never had it happen but anything is possible, especially if they aren't installed correctly. 😊
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.
Thank you Linda! And great ideas! ☺
