This is a perfect example of crafting seasons. I had a tailoring business where each micro category had a plastic shoebox on a wall shelf system. It was necessary for efficiency of time, effort, and waste of materials. If you need to find a size of button, a snap fastener, a bodkin, or a particular size of wiggan and can not find it, you will order more only to find it later. When I closed shop and packed up, I emptied each shoebox container into a ziploc bag, labeled it, and put it in a large storage tote that was labeled "Sewing." It was a new season of crafting when the sewing items went into bulk storage and the paper crafting things came out to play. Now, I still sew but it is not taking up prime real estate on my tables or shelves and I can still find what I want with a quick rummage in the big tote. I use the 27 gal construction totes from Lowe's because I wanted to stack these in the closet and did not want to risk damage to the contents. If I had EVERYTHING out and in adorable storage containers, I would need to use the entirety of the downstairs living area. You just don't need that much stuff out because it is overwhelming and distracting when you just want to play. I have the 5 x 5 Kallax from Ikea with white bins that I re-label when I "switch gears" as my husband says. The current hobby favorite gets placed in the unit and the previous gets bagged and put in the tote/totes. Things are still accessible, just not in the way. When we were in the military, everything lived in zippy bags in big totes. You just did not have room in base housing for craft room things. Of course, back then, I had only 2 craft totes, lol. So pick your season! Norrine has such beautiful ways to make your prime crafting real estate shine!
Thanks, sewcrazy423! You absolutely have it down to a science! But I like your analogy of 'seasons'. Thanks so much for sharing!
"Hi, I'm Jen and I'm a container addict" Don't know why I believe another bin is the answer, it never is. Thanks for this video. It feels as if it were made just for my issue. Great ideas!
Hi, Jen! You are not alone.... those sneaky containers are MARKETED to seem like the answer to all our problems! LOL Have you ever been into the Container Store?? I feel like I could conquer all the world problems... if I just buy the entire Elfa line!!! (KIDDING! I'd never do that!)
I am right there with you! I find good containers that I think will work amazing, only to NOT be used or they don't fit.
Thanks I tend to over organize then get overwhelmed and give up.
True..
But 10-15min rule helps
Everyday a little... Lo behold in few daya.. Many places cleared of clutter..
Slowly but surely you can... 😆
Give yourself an outline of what you want your organizing system to look like.... this will keep you from over organizing (micro-categorizing) and I love setting the timer, so you can't go for too long. 💜
I know exactly what you are saying, I have a real job of thinking what’s the best things to start with!! Then I get bogged down thinking, I need to separate these beads into colours, then im confused if perhaps i should store the pearls somewhere else.....etc etc etc. One thing i cant do is to say I’ll only do an hour, I’m disabled and i know if that day is good enough for me to get sorting then i have to keep going as i dont know when ill have another good enough day to do some more. Best thing is when my husband has my craft cabin built
I wont have to work with built in wardrobes and dressing tables, cant wait till its done lol
@@TM15HAKRN non
thank you. i swear i am trying to declutter and organize and your videos are really getting me through it
I'm so glad! Let me know how else I can help. 😊
I just redid my craft room, because I did exactly what you are talking about. I had containers coming out my ears. So I ditched all the deep tubs & went to drawers so I could get to things more accessible. But I still need HELP still to many. Looking forward to your post.
Hi, InspiringCreativeExpression. Let's see if I can help. Email me pictures of your area (wide-shots of the room/area and close-ups) to CallClutterFairy@gmail.com and I will take a look. 💜
The Crafty Organizer ok, I’ll do it, it’s better than it was but still needs more help. I’ll take pics tomorrow & send. Yeah!! Can’t wait to hear your feedback. Carol
I also just passed your info on to Alysia
English. She and her family live in a Canada and she has a great utube page. They want to get themselves organized, green & maybe even minimalists. So I know you could help. I’m hoping they will connect with you.
I am the queen of micro organization. It is a problem because I run out of space. What I have realized is I have a problem thinking of large categories like adhesive then glues and tapes. I did out grow that drawer now it’s a tape drawer and a glue drawer. Now to do that with all my micro categories. Thanks for a great video!
I will always be grateful to Kay (Organizing Soprano) for pointing me to your channel - apart from being a total pleasure to watch and listen to, your ideas and tips are so very insightful! Even here in South Africa, living now as an old age pensioner, and not having Dollar Store, TCS, or Ikea at all, I find being inventive with my existing storage solutions but applying your tips, really makes my tiny space so very functional - thank you!
Wow!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks. This should help me because even after 'organizing' things, I have no idea where anything is! LOL!
You can do it!
I always love your ideas. You make me a more organized crafter.
Tips nice
💜
Me tooo!!
I know what you mean, I have lots of bins that I toss "little things" into, but after a while, it gets full and I cannot see what I have. Noreen's shelving is so nicely organized AND LABELED, which is one of most important parts, I think. If you put something in a category and then forget your plans for it (like me!), organizing into separate bins ISN'T a help at all! Thanks, Noreen for making SENSE out the chaos! 💖
@The Crafty Organizer it suddenly occured to me during this video that most of the reason I can't get organized is because I'm sorting brads by type then color then size. That's not really my main problem. My main problem is that it's not just the brads...that's how I organize everything. 🤦🤷
That's why I desperately need your help, Norrine. 😔
Micro organizing gets in the way SOOO often!
EXCELLENT INFORMATION!
Plus DO NOT BUY containers until you have all the ‘likes with likes’!
Then do some measuring and go get the containers.
GREAT advice!!!!! ;)
Hi Norrine, greetings from Down Under. Thank you for another fabulous video. I am a real container person and also like pretty boxes and tins. However, when I was packing to move house I discovered that I had a lot of plastic shoe boxes, each containing embroidery kits. I put the contents of each box into large press seal bags with the pattern facing up (like food storage bags but bigger) and then placed all the bags into one big tub. This tub is much easier to store and I can see what is in each bag as I go through them. As for the shoe boxes, well, they stacked inside each other and then I stood the lids in the top one upright. Look forward to seeing your next video soon. Stay safe and well, from Di 😘💕🇦🇺.
You did a FABULOUS job using those baggies and taking back that space!!!!!! Those shoe box sizes are great for so many things!!!! Keep them for now... but if you don't find you are using them in a year - donate. They are easy to replace and inexpensive. 🌺
The Crafty Organizer They are so useful and cheap, as you said. I am sure I will be able to put them to good use and, if not, donating them is a great idea. Take care, 😘💕🇦🇺.
Oh, Noreen! Thank you so VERY much!! “Categories” is where I really struggle - and I find I DO micromanage. You are so gifted at helping turn our chaos into order and I thank you so much. All of your videos are helpful but this particular one, for me, is like teaching me to fish rather than giving me a fish! You had so kindly answered me before encouraging “likes with likes” which I am doing, but this tells me what to do with all the small containers of “likes” and creating a single spot for groups is “likes”. Thank you, again!! May God richly bless you.
Yay!!!! I am so glad it helps. Please keep me posted and don't hesitate to let me know if you need more guidance. 💜🌺💜
The Crafty Organizer Thank you so much for taking time to answer me, Noreen. Your kindness always touches my heart! I surely will keep you posted! 🍉☺️🌻
OMG!!!! The filing idea! I have taken almost ALL of my paper crafting supplies and have it in one box!!!! ONE. BOX. You are my lifesaver!!!!!!
Woohoo!!! I’m so glad you liked the idea! 🥰
Consolidation! Your instinct for our little foibles is spot on! Thanks!
@The Crafty Organizer I need a "LOVE" button! 💗👏🏼 Noreen, I have chills because this is *exactly* the answer I was looking for!! *This* moves me forward to the next step in my challenge to create an aesthetically pleasing, yet micro-organized and functional 1-bedroom apartment! 😍 I've rehoused soooo many items, over the past 3 years, and am heading toward my dream space for this chapter of my life (well, a dream within these walls, without spending much 😂) Due to my unpredictable chronic health issues, I *need* to create as much space as I can, while I can, in the event I eventually require my mobility aids inside my home. Finding the most efficient use of my space is essential. *You* have helped me visualize the next step! Thank you!!! 🤗💕🙏🏼🇨🇦
I am so glad I could help!!!!! I hope you are able to create the dream space you want - and stay healthy enough to enjoy it thoroughly. Please let me know if you get stuck - I'm happy to make suggestions. 💜
Best of luck..
Infact we all need it to
Tidy up..
I use a mesh shoe organizer which I hung over a curtain rod (from a window I never opened on one of my office walls), I put ribbons, glue dots, foam adhesives, tape rolls etc which makes a perfect catch all for craft supplies, and I can see thru the mesh to quickly find what I need.
I use to do this ALL the time. I love containers and organizing, but it got out of hand quickly.
Great ideas, I’m always buying containers. I’m addicted to them. Lol! Thanks for helping with that!
Any time!
I inherited a card maker's huge stash, who passed away. After donating tons of it, I am overwhelmed with the doubling of precious supplies. I will begin with your technique of too many plastic bins. Thanks for the excellent xcellent tips.
How exciting - and overwhelming!!!! Keep only your favorites in your space - store the rest away or donate!!! You can almost always replace crafting supplies. It's better to buy more later - than feel overwhelmed now!!!
I always think of you when I organize now....LIKE ITEMS TOGETHER.
:)
Exactly! There are so many youtubers using hundreds of containers and that literally creates more clutter IMO 😂😂😂
And the COST!!!! I won't name names.... but I watched a show where they replaced every container the home owner had with acrylic boxes. They were pretty - But I know that each box was around $35+ PER BOX!!! NO!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. That was quite mind blowing . I’d never of guessed you got it all in the jars etc .thanks. 💛
I LOVE my jars!!!! I need to see things - but I get overwhelmed if it looks messy. This is the perfect blend for me. :)
The Crafty Organizer 💛👍🏻
Not only do I have the scrapbook/craft items..I also do alot of jewelry and have TONS and TONS of beads, findings, chain ect... I so need this help!!
THANK YOU so much for this. It came at a very good time. You have motivated me to not cry and tear my hair out because I cannot find anything in my work room. There are literally hundreds of little containers and jars that I have "cleverly" sorted into....so much that I can't remember OR find anything. I am starting all over tomorrow and taking your advice.
Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions! 💜
You've totally nailed my issues! Micro categories spread all over my space uh! Lol thank you so much for your videos ! 💜💜
You're so welcome!
Same Here Beckie Brand! And if I want to go craft in front of the tv its pretty much impossible cuz I'd have to bring a jillion little containers with me. This video was very helpful to me too!
You are leading me exactly where I need to go! I have been going through my house, started with bedroom and working my way out. I have already taken four 33 gallon bags, three 13 gallon bags, and a couple of grocery bags out of my house! It feels so good. Still have a lot to do. I have been trying to get, my craft room done and instead it just seems to be getting worse. Seeing this visually has really helped me to see what I am doing wrong. I really, really like the jars! I have quite a few of them, and they are just sitting empty. I absolutely need to put my twine in one, needed some the other day, thought I knew exactly where it was, nope, in a jar I will see it right away! Thank you for reading my mind once again! Blessings to you and your family and of course Domino!
Yay! I am so excited for you!!!!! Please keep me posted on your progress. Remember, it gets worse before it gets better - and it didn't get like this over one day, so getting it organized won't get done in one day either. Be patient, take breaks, you've got this!!!!
This was an amazing tutorial.
I have just begun to re-organize one space in my home......my office!
I’ve pretty much started doing as you have shown here......and it really does work. As soon as I see you in my thread with another post....I click and learn. Always an opportunity to see what you are sharing and how I can incorporate it into my spaces.
You have such a kind spirit and it comes through each and every time you post🥰
You are truly a blessing to many through this channel🥰
💐
Thanks, Z'Nycé! Always nice to see you here in the comments. 🌺 Let me know how your office goes!!!
Ys
Positive vibes...
I wish I had your skill with organization!!! Even your background looks beautifully organized!
Thank you so much 😀
Oh my....I like your thinking! What about buttons? All together or separated by color? My system of “by color” is taking up too much space. Update: I put them all in a canning jar and it’s much more compact and I can see through it! 🤓
I love by color! But in a bag or smaller boxes so that they can ALL be in a larger container together.
Good reminders it’s always helpful to me to visually “see” how things stack up lol
I like your ideas. I'm knowing some of this by trial and error.
This is right on time because I just completed part 1 of a 3-parter video series where I am making over my master closet. Will keep some things in mind. Good idea about breaking down smaller items & Basically grouping them together in a larger bin. That way it’s not all these tiny little containers everywhere. #subbed
Welcome to the Group, Home Fix!!!
The Crafty Organizer Thank you!😀
You got this Right. To many in the way.
This inspired me to go around the house & the garage & gather up all different kinds of tapes & put them in one bin labeled "tape". All glues, glue gun, sticky pads, spray adhesive, etc, in another bin labeled "adhesives". Extra bins were sitting around from when I decided to start decluttering & organizing, so it didn't cost me anything but 10 minutes & it feels wonderful!
Thank you!
Woo hoo!!!! That makes me so happy!!!!
This is excellent for those of us who are Majorly OCD!!!!
Thank you Norrine for all of your helpful videos. I will be watching many of your old ones as well to help me organize my new apartment when I move.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!! I was stuck. I bought shelves and drawers. I did not know where to go from there. You saved me
Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions! 💜
I enjoy watching your ideas 💡! It gives me hope! I saw your episode about your struggle with pain and depression. I am fighting with MS and gave had a hard time with organizing and keeping the house clean and I felt hope and stirred up that I can do this!!! God bless you and thank you!!!!
Hi! Kimberly - sending you giant hugs. I know it's hard. I have a wonderful Facebook group where we just support each other in all ways - if you'd like to join. It helps to be in a group of people who support, encourage, and understand 💚: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/
I am so enjoying watching your organization videos. Thank you so much. Please continue the awesome work.
Thank you! Will do!
You are giving me such amazing ideas. I just need the muscle to arrange my shelves and then I can really start my adventure of organization
Oh... I hate that part!!! Sometimes it takes me days to get the 'oomph' to do the physical stuff!!!
Great demonstration!!...and might I add you have a practical amount of supplies as well!! ❤️
Thank you, Carolyn!
I so needed this .... and in the same boat with many of the previous comments.
Thanks Norine, as you already mentioned several time, containers should be picked after gathering all the likes with the likes and once we have an overview of how large the container should be :) Always good to remind us about that !!!
Thanks, Perrine! I still find I grab containers when I find cool/functional ones. I get to cheat and save them for clients though! 😊
I feel so much less intimidated now! I've bought so many containers thinking that was the key, only to fail time and time again. This made so much sense to me, thank you so very much! 🥰
You can do it! I'm here to cheer you on and give suggestions if you need them!
This inspired me to consolidate containers. Thanks for your help.
Yay Gwen!!!!! Glad I could help! Let me know how it goes!
Thanks so much...I just told my husband that my sewing/craft room is such a mess I want to shut the door and just not go in! Now you have inspired and motivated me to get organized. I’m done with buying something because I can’t find what I know I have!! 👍🏻😊❤️
You can do it! Let me know if you get stuck! I'm happy to see if I have any suggestions. 💜
HEAR ❣️ HERE ❣️...at JUDY Meulmans’ ’ comment ...I actually go out and buy MORE materials for a craft because I CANT FIND what I HAVE 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@bobbipearcey2059 Me too, and I don't get any real pleasure from getting the item because at the back of my mind is the thought that all I've done is duplicate something I already have and have wasted money!
OMG!! That's hat I've been doing a container for everything. It's working for my gel pens,ink pads,stamps and dies. But now have to see about combining. But they are in med/large container now, have a bunch of each,thinking now. Might have to stay the way those are, but think I can't use this technique with other stuff.was thinking about the drawer systems, going to change that idea. Thanks. I need to be able to walk into my sewing and now also craft room AGAIN!!
You can do this!!!! Let me know if you need help 🌞
@@TheCraftyOrganizer ok, Thank you .I have cricut pens that are suppose to be stored , standing with tips down. I have the in a container and stand it with the end of container down in directions pens are to be in.. kind of pain to keep remembering that. I have my markers that way too in another container.. One big container? Lol
I changed my spare bedroom into my craft room. It took me several days to hang shelves and sort all my craft items. Items were sorted by use, size and color ;as well as, holidays and celebrations. When I was finally finished I was so proud! My son came to do some repairs for me. While I was gone he worked hard, but the thing he as most proud of was how much space he had saved me by dumping all my bins together mixing everything that was sorted! I just smiled and thanked him.🤪😂😂🤪
OH MY GOSH!!!! I would have done the same thing... but been cussing in private! You are a good Mom!!!!!
Wow. Totally agree...you can lose yourself with over organisation 'tubs'
Hi Norrine! Thank you for this video. I struggle with storing all my beads and I have a lot of them. You have given me some great ideas on how to better organize them and probably eliminate some containers! I love organizing almost as much as I love crafting! Lol.
I TOTALLY get that! The most dangerous store for me is the Container Store! Thankfully, they are out of my budget. But, boy! Do I love to look at all of those neat containers! LOL
I absolutely love the 25-Box Storage System box from Harbor Freight. It is meant for storing small parts, but works great for beads. I keep all of my small glass beads separated by color in the smaller containers within the larger container. Then I have another one for medium sized beads!
What an eye opener that was! Your organizational skills are amazing! You should consider a collab with Kirin from ThriftedLiving. She and her husband just bought a home earlier this year. Its older like yours. She is always trying to organize with thrifted and budget items.
I think she would benefit from one of your virtual organization sessions.
That would be cool! I'll check out her channel!
Thank you - so happy - thought I was crazy to want to put containers inside of other containers! Great tips!
Nope! You are totally right to do so!!!
We teachers have a ridiculous amount of containers. For the most part I categorize. Great tips!
I was at Dollar Tree last week getting supplies.... I saw a woman with a full cart of various bins and storage boxes. I walked by and asked, "Teacher or Organizer??" She laughed and said, "Teacher". I knew it was one of the two! LOL
Norrine your so helpful. It becomes so overwhelming I could just pull my hair out. Lol
Take breaks! Send me pics! We will get through this!
That makes perfect sense! Will be keeping this in mind when I move 😉❤️
Thank you so much for the handy tips. My craft space is in my bedroom ( drives my husband mad 😁 ) but it's my little happy place. I'm always looking for help & ways to keep it tidy and organised. I love watching your videos for the handy tips and ideas. Thank you again.
You are so welcome!
This is great! My problem is jewelry supplies and beads. Right now, my craft room looks like Michael's came in and threw up all over the place.
LOL Wish I could come help! That would be fun!
I completely agree! I feel like as a virgo organize freak. I tend to get caught up on micro organizing. Only because its so fun for me. But it doesn’t always work as a system. Thank you for tackling this topic! Love it!!!
Exactly!! I fall into that too... though I am not a Virgo. LOL I LOVE breaking things down into micro categories!!!
OMG! Wonderful ideas!! Thank you!😍
Glad you like them!
Hi, I have recently started crafting since becoming disabled. I originally was scrapbooking but I’m kind of over that and I wanted to move on to things that were more challenging so I’m trying to set up my craft room in an empty bedroom. You have given me a lot to think about and great inspiration.
I have just ordered the IKEA skadis pegboard and I also have a large IKEA cube shelf filled with cube bins I need to get rid of because they are filled with things I just don’t use any more. One of your videos regarding getting rid of 100 things is definitely something I am going to do.
I will continue watching your videos to help me get my craft room shut up to be as efficient as possible. What most exciting me about this video was the fact that you started friend mail. I would love to receive something from you to give me inspiration and then send something back to you once I get organized and I’m ready to begin again. I am on a tight budget since I live alone and my small two bedroom home. But I try and save a little money each month to put towards some thing that will help me get organize to create the best Real estate in my craft room which also doubles as my closet since it is the only one in the home.
I was wondering how I go about getting my address to you. Do I simply place it in the comment section? Or is there a way I can send you a private message with it? I do have several things for card making but I’m still not that good at it. I was hoping perhaps you could send me something that could help me. I am also trying to save up for a cricket. I’m not sure which one yet, I was thinking the cricket joy since it seems to be the most affordable.
I watch a lot of UA-cam videos on crafts that you can get using items from the dollar tree. Since I am on a budget I can’t to draw from their inspiration to try new things. I look forward to hearing back from you, I am so happy I found your channel. I believe it will help me setting up my craft room the best way possible. Thank you so much

Hi, Diane!!!! I'm so excited for your craft space!!! Scrapbooking was my first craft love too.... but I've moved to digital now. Much less expensive, and just as creative! I'd love to add you to my friend mail! Just email me your address: CallClutterFairy@gmail.com. I can't wait to send you a card!
EXCELLENT!! Thanks so much!! Too many craft items that I just cannot give up are my Achille’s heel!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Well, you have “caught” me twice...I buy containers BEFORE I know what I need (one of your other videos) now this one! I definitely micro organize. Then...where to put all the containers. Ok, need to start over. Now that I know two new “No No’s” maybe I can make some decent progress! Thanks so much for your clear videos. I cannot tell you how you make it seem more attainable than other methods I’ve tried. Senior Barb🥰😘
You can do it! I'm here as your cheerleader!!!
OMG, I feel like you've visited my craft room and addressed all the frustrations I go through trying to find things. Too many containers, trying to "save" pieces of paper I might use, holding on to supplies that don't work for me, etc. You are an inspiration! Thanks!!
You are so welcome! 🌻
Very pleasant host. Thank you. Very clear and easy to understand.
Thank you!
Norrine - Great tips on storing craft items & such!
Thanks, Judy! 🌻😉
Thank you. You've been helping me these last couple weeks. Lots to do, and with your inspiration, its now getting done!
You got this! Let me know if you need more suggestions 💜
Heh heh , you sure got me pegged, Lol! Great advice, thanks!
Guilty in the past as well!!!
Great video once again. I can already think of how I have micro organised. Time to re-organise :)
You can do it!
Thank you for this AMAZING VIDEO! I struggle with over organizing and then cannot find a thing. Barbara in Dallas
You are so welcome!
I subscribed because aside from your genius tips, listening to you is almost therapeutic. 🥲
Wow, thanks, Jess!!! Welcome. :)
I have 6 areas of tapes and glues going to try to get them together Thank you Norrine!
One thing about containers...pick one large enough that you can dump it out and toss everything back in without fussing. It does not save you time and energy if the contents will only fit in one particular arrangement and only one particular sequence as if it were a puzzle game. Allow some room to grow. Ideally you can reach into a container and pull out just the item you want, without having to dig or lift other items out of your way.
Great tip, Valkyrie! Thank you 😊🌞🌻
Even more good info to help me get, and stay, organized. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful, Mel!
Wonderful video, very informative and helpful. I was planning to reorganize my bathroom closet this weekend and I will definitely do a better job using your method. I was just thinking today I have too many small storage containers in there, no real organization. You are wonderful at what you do! Thank you!
Yay! Let me know how it goes!
Fantastic video very inspiring love the container within a container
Glad you enjoyed it
...but of course!! I was kinda like, "Huh?" but as you explained and showed, it all became clear and made so much sense. I'm a junk journalist and I have lots of.... wait for it.... JUNK! ....a b'zillion containers? Yes ma'am! This is so helpful Noreen, thank you. With love from the Southern California desert, MK ❤☀️🌵
Do you have videos of your journals???? I may have asked this already. LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I don't (have videos) and you didn't (already ask me that). This mail thing you're doing, that's really sumthin', ya know? I mean, people just don't DO things like that anymore. You are a very special lady - I hope you know that. It's an honor to share a state with you. 😘 MK ❤☀️🌵
Just found your channel tonight. It's great, and your kindness and authenticity just radiate. I would love to participate in your friends program. I'll go to your website for more information. Sending a virtual hug.
Welcome to the Group, Diane!!! Just email me your address to CallClutterFairy@gmail.com 😊
TY Norrine your ideas are genius and you make any day somewhat brighter ☺️🐞🐝😘🤗
You are so sweet. Thank you, Lala Gamma!!!!! Have a wonderful day. 🌻💛😊
I love this video! Thank you.
Wow! I just found you today and I can tell that I am going to be watching all your videos. I have learned a lot of excellent tips and ideas in this video already. I am a sewing enthusiast and a crafter, and having worked in a local fabric store for 12 years, I still have a lot of fabric stash. (Even though I have not worked there for almost 20 years.) I love fabric. I do have a room of my own for my sewing but it is a messy place most of the time. I spent some time recently purging a lot of sewing books so I am working on the room. I really needed your ideas, and I am anxious to try them out in my space. Thank you so much and keep up the wonderful videos!
Good for you!!!!! I'd have a hard time if I got to work where my hobby items were sold too!!!!
The Disabled Artists Foundation is a great resource for those sewing/craft supplies... if you are looking for a place that takes donations: www.disabledartists.org/

Thank you.... your techniques are so spot on! Blessings!
These ideas are so wonderful! Thank you so much for your ideas!
You are so welcome!
Excellent advice, thanks sooooo much 😃👍🏻😃😃😃
1st time heard about you. I was thinking how to organize efficiently my art supplies first, and second my closet. You appeared in my search and your tips are clever and affordable. Thanks so much!
Welcome, Mavi!! Hope to see you again. :)
Good morning Norrine: What awesome information! As with most anything in life moderation is key; sometimes macro/micro isn’t best🤔🤪😝. It really is a challenge for each of us as we all came from different backgrounds and/or habits along with our things... I absolutely love the styro cube with needle👏👏👏 Thank you so much for your time and dedication. You truly are a blessing to so many❤️😀
Thanks, Rachel! 💜🌺💜

Fantastic tips! I am going to organize all my glues and adhesives in one of my empty bins that fit in my cube units.
I used to have my glues with each type of craft I did.... which made me to hunting if I wanted a different type of glue! Having them together has been a game changer for me!
Will...you’ve inspired me to get busy in my craft room👍🏽
Brilliant! Thank you.
Great tips. I definitely can reduce my bins because there are too many!
Glad it was helpful!
Not only was this so interesting but I loved the editing of this video as well!
Yay, thank you!
the trap i get myself into with this, too, is that there are so many different options for storage that I find myself picking up a few things here and there to see what's worth getting more of. And sometimes this works great and I have a few storage systems that work well because I went back and got a bunch of them, but more often than not what happens is i just end up with a hodgepodge collection of containers instead of being able to go 'right things that are in this type of thing is This Type of Thing'.
I started out the same way.... I've learned which containers are easy to get almost anywhere - they may not be as cute - but I know I can get more!!! LOL
This video is perfect for me!! I can’t wait for you to see my finished product!
Yay!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!
I have all of my craft stuff in one tote!
Impressive!!!!
