- I don't have a craft room, so I need to regularly declutter and organize my craft supplies to keep it contained. Are you also overwhelmed with your craft supplies as well? Let's declutter together!

Why is it that someone else's supplies seem so much more interesting than your own? Nice inspiration to begin organizing, at the very least. TFS the inspiration!
That's so true!
Was nice to see a fellow crafter with a small space decluttering. I find that I need to keep like supplies together always - all my markers and inks together, ribbons together, etc.
Hmmm, maybe you can challenge yourself to make a journal or two using only your beautiful ready made items to help pear down your stash? Yes, would love to watch more decluttering - gives us inspiration to work on our own spaces with you! :)
Thanks for your kind feedback! You are the 2nd person suggesting that! 😃. I think I would want to mix those items with newer ones…🤔
Definitely more declutter videos! Not only satisfying but also interesting to know all the things you have and how you use them! Thank you so much!
You can wrap lace on the spools and put in a jar.
or wrap skinny snippet rolls on them.
@@ljcmsw Great idea, going to do that. Sooo clever.🤩🤩🤩🤩
I would love to see you continue to declutter your Scrap Box. How about making a few journals out of most of your completed items and sell them in your shop? You’d free up space and make a little bit of money. 😘
Thanks! I appreciate your suggestion! ❤️
That is a great idea! Please, Barbara!
I was thinking something very similar.
Is anyone else the grateful if their craft stuff looks like the ‘before’?
I love this video! Please do more of these!
Lol- typical hoarder moves- “I never use these… I’ll keep them for now…”
“These don’t really belong here, but they fit, I can change it later…”
“I can figure that out later…”
“I’ve donated these before … but took them out of the donation bag…I never use them…”
Might I suggest trying the Kon Marie method: instead of trying to figure out “what to get rid of” (which can be incredibly difficult) come at it from a different angle: “do I LOVE this?”
When you’re on the fence- ask- “does this fit into my ideal picture of my studio?”
Thanks for your suggestion! Maybe I need to get back to that method. I have actually done that in another video I. The playlist in the description box ☺️
Yes, please continue this. I need all the help I can get, as all of us need.
Are you kidding? This was just an appetizer. We're waiting for the main course dear B. And all these Scaps made me want to dig into my Scappy shelf. And that in turn brought so many Scapping ideas. Well done Barbara, thank you so Scap.
😂😂😂❤️
So fun watching! Would love a tutorial on those multi fold out pocket books!
Thanks! The Tito is linked in the description box 😊
I keep my punches in a clear shoe holder bag that hangs over my craft room door. 🤗💕🦋
This was so much fun Barbara to watch you go through your craft supplies! Like a kid in a candy store!
Oh Dear Barbara, please don’t think that more space equals more organization 😅😂🤣 at least not in my life!
This was a great video and very encouraging to de clutter and clean out stuff as our style evolves.
I actually have been struggling with this issues and you have inspired me! Thank you so much, ❤️🤗🥰😘😍
Stay well and yes more of these videos and after a few videos on using all of those beautiful tags and ephemera! 💕
Thanks so much Maria! I’m sos happy this was inspiring! 😃❤️
I think your little bits of lace might look nice pinned to the door you don’t use. It might be nice to put a pastel collage or master board behind them. Thanks for sharing.
Interesting idea, thank you! ❤️
Love the video. Please more. It's helpful to see what might be able to do on whatever our budget allows
Thanks for sharing. Love you too.👍😊
Thanks for your kind feedback! I’m happy to share more! ❤️
I find the difficulty in decluttering is the part of going through everything and re-remembering what I have and getting excited to use it again, but I only remember when I go through it all them I forget them again. Only way I remember them is when I go through everything and I only do that when I am decluttering. It’s annoying
I, for one, would love a 49dragonflies-made tag as I can’t afford whole journals. Maybe put pacs of 3 or 4 in your shop. I store short lace in baggies, sorted by color.
Thanks for your feedback! ❤️
Oh yes, please. It really helps to see how others organize. I agree the ephemera you already have made is awesome. Why do we neglect to bring it out instead of making more new stuff especially if we made it and still like it? Because it’s FUN to create ❣️
Yes more please of organizing and decluttering. Good ideas. Tons of motivation and inspiration.
Perhaps a happy mail of the things you don't want anymore to someone that does have that style.? Or maybe put them in your shop as random ephemera :) Thank you for letting us "help" you organize ❤
Gi Kerr waters down her glue to get it to come out easier from those little bottles with the needle tips. I just use Scotch Create glue in them and they work great (best glue ever!! for everything). It was very satisfying watching you organized. I'm amazed the amount of work you do, that you actually don't have a lot of stuff! I think I have way more than that so I guess I'm just a hoarder vs a an actual creator. LOL!
Thanks for your kind feedback! ❤️☺️
It was fun watching you declutter your Scrap Box! It was interesting to see how your style has evolved. Thanks for showing us that it is “ok” to get rid of things you’ve made or purchased, but know you won’t ever use - I have a hard time letting go of stuff! My things are stored on shelves in those beautiful boxes with printed images on them - the trouble is that I can’t see what is inside of the boxes, so I am constantly shuffling boxes around and then I get frustrated. I need to follow your lead and get to work on organizing my stuff!!! I would love to see more videos of you tackling the other sections of your Scrap Box.
Thanks and good luck! ❤️😃
Many of love to make the embellishments and have tons of them ourselves. As someone else commented, it would be nice to watch you assemble a journal using what you made already and how you pick out things in your stash to match. I rarely follow anyone like i did a few years ago since everyone started dedigning their own digi kits. On occasion I'll purchase one. I enjoy watching the process of they put them together.
Yes please to more decluttering & organizing...very inspiring & motivating!! You're doing a great job, so keep going, & remember progress not perfection!! 😘❤🤗 LOVE the "Scaps"!! 😉🤭
Haha thanks so much! Im happy to do more! ❤️
Yes! I would love to see you continue!♥️ A very helpful series.😄
I just did this two weeks ago! I was getting super annoyed with my messy shelves so I went and bought storage boxes and organized everything. The result being of course, that I can't find anything anymore 😂
Haha Im sure you will get used to the new system soon! ❤️
Lol. We can all relate. 🤣🤣
All so beautiful.
It was fun to watch re-discover items you made and loving on them. I think your next journal should be only to use items from your stash. You can always make a prototype/idea journal with some of your stash for future projects.
Hello Barbara!! I love your videos! I think it would be fantastic to see more organizing videos!! I have always wondered how much space those cabinets really have!! More for me please!!!
Thanks Katherine! I’m happy to share more! ☺️❤️
Thanks, this decluttering never ends does it?😻
Never! 🤪
@@49dragonflies I've always maintained that this is a 3-fold hobby: acquiring, creating and organizing. Not sure which I love more! Thanks for the video, Barbara. I had to take screen shots of bunches of stuff to try to recreate!
Love this!!! Thank you. Would love to see more organizing, please.
When I clean and find something I haven't used but am not ready to let it go, I put a brightly colored note or tag on it and schedule a day for playing with the tagged items. Sometimes it's not until I use them and get dissatisfied with the outcome that they end up in the donate pile. It's not always a quick decision, but cleaning day is not always the decision day for certain items.
I appreciate your input, thanks! ❤️
One lady that has the scrapbox, took coordinating beautiful cardstock and cut pieces to slide just inside each bin to hide all the clutter appearance. She used glue dots to adhere it gently inside each bin.
A friend did the same thing with hers. Looks so pretty!
You made me laugh so much when you were sorting and said "yay, I got rid of one" mission accomplished is what I say. 😆 🤣 lol. Those tags and ephemera are so you and I can see you pulling them out and using on a future journal. Absolutely we want to see more. It's inspiring. I can say I'm probably one of the few organized crafters but mostly cause I'm OCD. Lol
I also agree that watching make a journal just out of the pockets, tags, clusters, etc. you sorted through.
Yes! More…more…more! Then come over and we can work on my studio! 😂 Thanks for doing this and I wish you well with the rest!
Haha ok Deal! ❤️😃
I'm using this video to keep me company while I declutter my own stash, thanks! :)
Really enjoyed this video. Yes, do more!
I just started watching and you had me cracking up before the 30 second mark. Because I can relate so much!
😊❤️
Yes please can we have some more.🙃
Great video so interesting to see your supplies. Can we see the rest please. Xxx
You gotten a great start. Love your scrapbox. They are amazing but very expensive in the US. I love organizing so I really enjoyed this video and look forward to the next one. Happy decluttering.
Thanks for your kind feedback! They are expensive here as well! I saved up for it and it was so worth it! 😊
I have seen bits of lace wrapped around wooden spools like you have and did not know what to do with...just a idea for your lace pieces and spools. You are Very Talented!
Thanks for the tip! ❤️
I think alot of your makes would fit your Urban Nature journal!!! ❤️
Really?! 🤔 I need to look into that, thanks! ❤️
so inspiring!!! keep on keeping on!!!
Yes please more!! I have no clue why it is so enjoyable to watch you declutter-organize but it is TFS
Baby girl I would love to see more decluttering as it really is very inspiring. I watch lots of craft room decluttering and garner something different from each one.
You mentioned "only getting rid of this much", but you tidied up, got the ball rolling, and found stuff, both supplies and treasures you've made, so this mama says you did pretty good.
Love you angel, MomK ♥️🤗🏜
Thanks MomK! I’m happy to share more! ❤️
Barbara you can get an insert for the scrapbox on the outside door that matches the one on the left. So you have the little shelves the same as the other door. I didn’t like the look of the plastic bags on the felt either. I use the bags to keep items separated in the larger drawers. I love organizing videos! More please!
Thanks for your kind feedback! I should look into that option! 😊
It looks great. I have such a sick mind when it comes to getting rid of craft supplies. Its like I will never eat again if I purge it!!!!!! I really need to do it too!!!! I'm handicapped and my very patient husband and helped me several times to get things straightened up and settled and I even try to purge a little. Next thing I know I back in the store restocking! Its almost like a sickness...an addiction if you will!!!!!! Thank you for sharing you neatness overload with us! It looks really nice!!!!
Thanks Betty! It is a constant struggle! ❤️
It's so satisfying to see the results of your organising/declutter.
I would use the wooden spools for narrow ribbon and lace, maybe twine or similar.
I don't have much craftsupply, it all fits in one Ikea Råskog rolling cart. I go through and declutter it every now and then, when it looks messy. I have a craft room where there is a printer and a cutting machine and I keep my sewing machine and toolbox there. I also keep some books and paperpads (aquarelle and scetchpads) that are not in use.
Results after declutter is always so satisfying.
Also it's a way for you to show what you have and how you keep it all. It is easy as a viewer to think crafter's on UA-cam have it all. This video is keeping it real.
I would enjoy more of this kind of videos.
Much love ❤️
Thanks so much for your kind feedback! I’m happy to share more! ☺️❤️
Such a satisfied exercise
Thank you for giving me a wakeup call. I’m off to The Range to get 😮some large storage jars ,, some plastic and card boxes.. I’m going to make some decorative slow stitched bowls to sit on the work top and hold buttons, charms etc.. I’ve already taken loads of craft papers to our commumiy centre for courses. Also the local school might be happy to receive some of your goodies. Or you have a UA-cam sale or give away. 😀
oooh just love this so so much I love that you love tins and packaging that are unique I too love wooden bobbins
SO fun to watch; definitely want to see more! Use your beautiful vintage spools for the lace ribbon :) My lace scraps go into a large glass jar, but I have the space. ADORE the clusters! I have two craft rooms and can tell you it does NOT get easier! A full pot of extra caffeinated coffee will usually get me through a room ;)
Thanks so much! ❤️
It is so satisfying to clean, organize and declutter things. I like to change things around, even my furniture, I rearrange my furniture every 3/4 months. My husband used to say "thank God we didn't know Helen Keller". Love watching your videos.
I finally finished organizing my craft supply closet. It's a regular closet and I'm just beginning to collect all the things for junk journaling so I greatly appreciate watching how you put things together! Also I loved the idea of making a stamping block with big washers as I happen to own some. I so enjoyed seeing your "makes". I'm similar to you in that my craft table is in a room with couches and chairs, but I really like that because it's homey. Thank you for sharing your inspirations with us, Barbara!!
You are so organized and neat! I hoard way to many things. I really need to discover my style. I just happen to love every style! 🤷🏻♀️ I love seeing your thought process as you decide what to keep. Please share more! ❤hugs
Thanks! Pls check my organizing/decluttering playlist 😊
Your scrapbox is amazing. I dream of owning one of these one day, but I don't have the space for one. My supplies all need to fit in a set of 3 drawers, 3 shelves on a bookcase and the cupboard inside my dropleaf table! I am also going through a period of consolidation and clearing out of things I don't use anymore. It's hard but necessary and does make me feel better afterward!
Good luck with your own declutter process! ❤️
Please show us more.
Yes, please, I’d like to see your process; it is so helpful watching others declutter and to learn different thoughts of what to keep, toss, or donate. 🤗💕🦋
YES ! I want to see more! Your video came at the right time. I'm in the process of clearing/ ordering my little craft room! Thanks for sharing!
Good luck with yours! ❤️
Hi new subscriber..so I'm going to start journaling ..it's new to me so by seeing this video it tells me to be careful and not buy to much ....
Hi Betty and welcome to my channel! Yes, that’s a great idea! Good luck! ❤️
I’m sure it’s too late for your brushes but you can fix paint brushes that have hardened paint on them with Master’s Brush Cleaner. I had a couple brushes that had dried paint on them for 30 years and I was able to get them clean. (Don’t ask me why I kept them that long!) It took several tries but it works really well.
Thanks so much for the tip! ❤️😊
@@49dragonflies
You’re very welcome. That brush cleaner also conditions the brushes.
Great series, helps remind all of us to decanter and donate what we can so others can enjoy.
So tidy! Indeed it is true that our style and tastes change with time. When I was homeschooling the grandkids everything was bright and neon which they loved. I enjoy more subdued and gentle colours now. Hugs and blessings, ❤️🤗🇨🇦
I love watching decluttering video's so would like to see more.
You're doing so good and you will feel amazing when everything is organised. It's overwhelming but so worth it. I admire how you were able to declutter the things you don't use. Someone who doesn't have any supplies and not a lot of money will be happy receive these.
Can't wait to see you do more. Yes please.
Oh my gosh Barbara! That was very difficult to watch. When you got to the ephemera pieces that you’d made. I was saying, oh! So cute!WAIT! Stop! How’d you make that? With every piece! I’ll have to rewatch on slow mo ten more times. Hahaha
I decided to organize my laces.
That turned into a complete room overhaul. I’ve been working on it for months. Nothing fancy. I had a mish mash of shelving units that I drug out and mounted 15 shelves, that match, from Home Depot. So much better! Almost done.
Love you, your art, and your videos! 💖
You go, girl! Good job! Isn’t it so satisfying! ☺️❤️
Hello Barbara, it's always fun to see someone's craft supplies and how they organize them, thanks for sharing.
I feel so much better about my space and supplies now. Thanks for sharing.
Your embroidery is beautiful. It’s fun to look at what other people have.
thanks for sharing this video. I love organizing and learned to because of having small space to have my craft and sewing supplies. My tidbits of lace and ribbon that are small I put in an antique canning jar, or truthfully jars. hahaha You can see everything and it keeps it contained.
Thanks for your feedback, Tracy! ❤️
Morning Barbara, this was sooo interesting to see how you organise your supplies. It gives us the inspiration to declutter and organise our own craft rooms. I love your craft cupboard, it is so cute and totally handy, fits into any room and will always look part of the furniture, not out of place at all. All the wonderful goodies you have, maybe you can give some as Happy Mail, I am sure there will be someone who will enjoy that which you have made, especially, and as you say is no longer your style. Lovely ephemera. Well done with the work you have already done, BUT........... maybe we could see more of your clean out??????? It is great inspiration and so interesting to see what another crafter actually has. As always, I am sending Blessings and hugs from Cape Town. Diana
Thanks for your kind feedback, Diana! I’m happy to share more! ❤️
Yaaaayyy we want to watch the rest 😍😍
I keep vintage spools in an old glass jar and display it on my shelf. Punches are always awkward to store. Would like to watch you continue your organization/declutter - lots of inspiration - love the use of little tins.
I purchased a shoe holder to hang on the back of craft room door and there I have my punches… all are easy to see and don’t take multiple spaces/drawers in my Craft room. I have a craft cabinet too and I’m constantly reorganizing it!
Nothing better than a good spring clean! Now I'm gonna go and declutter my room too
Good luck! ❤️
You need to make a declutter journal to put all of your random pieces in!
I love your craft space. I live in the UK in a shared house and I have a super small space. I hope to be able to return to my city one day and then I will create a nice space for my crafts. It occurs to me that with all the things you don't need, you could make a second-hand market so that people who don't have so many resources can buy nice things at a good price. A big hug for you Barbara.
Thanks for your suggestion! ❤️
You could donate things you don't want to a senior citizen's centre for their craft sessions
I wish i had one, but yes quite expensive. Also, i know myself. I'd probably start adding things on the floor in front of it. And i could poetically never close the table. It'd be full too
This is very helpful. I live in a studio apartment and feel very overwhelmed by my art supplies. Thank you!
Thank you so much for tackling the topic of decluttering craft supplies! More, please...
Really nice organising video and very inspiring too, I'm itching to get crafting now 🤭
Yay! 😊
Enjoyed as usual. Would love to see more.
Maybe you can make an idea journal with one of each of the ephemera you made but haven't used.
We all seem to have the same problem no matter how small or large of a space! We all need to declutter. Great job keeping your space organized. I would love to see more! xo Deb
Great video. Love all that Ephemera and tags you made. I had to laugh because you didn’t get rid of to much. I did clean up my crafting mess a week ago. My kitchen table after 5 years or more is clean. I have moved a lot of stuff to my living room craft table. Bought a few storage containers on wheels. Two are in my kitchen coat closet and one I put next to my table in the living room. I have many storage containers on wheels in my walk in closet and small hallway in my bedroom. But like you I need to give away a lot of craft stuff to someone who enjoys crafting. When cleaning I found stuff I hadn’t seen for years. Tools I don’t use. It’s hard in a apartment because mine is so small. I have crafts all over the place. But my kitchen table looks nice again. I even had crafts on part of my kitchen counter. All gone. Feels good. I can breathe.
Thanks! I totally get it! ☺️❤️
Yes it does motivate us to do our own space. It’s interesting to watch how others organize!
I keep my small lace scraps and other similar craft items in empty Yankee Candle jars (sold here in the US). Variety of sizes, with the side benefit of residual scent . . .
Great idea! I love those jars, but don’t have space for them….
Yes please do more. You have many many things that I do not have and yet I can learn cuz my stuff is starting to grow to. I've already discovered that being a junk journal or does mean you have to continually arranged and rearranged and organize and reorganize. I'm also having people give me all kinds of things useful things but not useful if I don't find a good place to keep them. So this was very good thank you so much
Cool! You actually have more space for organizing then you think 🤔...love that cabinet thingy you have, that you put your stuff in....I’m having a garage sale at the end of March, here in south central Texas...hopefully, I can sale some of my mandalas, slumped glass, and other arts and crafts that I got into....😻
Thanks! Good luck with your garage sale! ❤️
I would love to see more declutter videos, it gets me motivated on my own mess.
Every video by you is worth watching it 🤩 And it was really interesting, would be great, if you would make more like this 😀 (I would love to see a Vlog by you!!! 😍🤭)
As I move end of March , I have to rearrange and declutter my stuff, too 😱 Always wondering what I keep with thoughts like: "oh, that could be used!!" and years and tons of dust later you realise: no, it cannot be used another way 🤣
Aaaaw you are so sweet, Alexandra! ❤️ good luck with your move! 😘
Yes! I would love to see more declutering . Is so satisfying plus it motivated me. 😊❤
Love seeing what you have in your scrap box. Always fun to see what you love and what is not so loved anymore. Thanks again for sharing
That was incredibly satisfying. Now I want to declutter too…
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but those thread spools can be used as ink daubers. Adhere the little sponge to one side and you have a nice ink dauber!
Thanks!
You've got more space than me !! I think the problem is the joy of purchasing supplies that needs to be addressed at least for me it is.
Definitely needs to be addressed, as well as receiving happy mails!
I resemble that! How many uTube videos must I watch before seriously getting at IT? Thanks so much for sharing your GOD-GIVEN TALENT in both ART and the manner in which you SHARE and TEACH… 💖💕
Oh my goodness...great job on your decluttering. You inspired me. You are so creative. Beautiful creations. Create it. Enjoy them. Use them one way or another. Love. Love. Love!!!
Thanks so much! Good luck with your decluttering! ❤️
