Scraproom on a Budget

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- My first video of my scraproom created on a budget. Everything in my room was either purchased on sale, on clearance, with coupons, or recycled. I hope this can help other ScrapRookies to store their stashes.
The only thing more amazing than your craft room is you, thank you for so much inspiration!
Thank you for watching, Ginger! I'm glad we all have a place to connect with other crafty girls so we can inspire eachother!
Totally amazed at the stamp storage. Love all the storage ideas. I've seen the wire cube storage before and I plan to buy some as soon as I have the money. The dollar store cubbies are great. Tfs.

You are an inspiration to all scrapbookers (newbies and seasoned ones). There wasn't one idea that i didn't like and will probably use. Good job getting as much merchandise from the dollar tree! I am so glad i clicked on your video!
I've looked & looked for budget room organization. I'm so glad I happened upon your vid. I luv your lil bin stacking idea.
I have been scouring youtube for ideas to get my craft room under control, and this is BY FAR THE BEST video out there on this subject!! PACKED with awesome ideas that are useful, practical, economical and easy for viewers to actually reproduce in their own space. Ive watched this a dozen times now and get new ideas every time. Your down to earth personality is appreciated as well! Hope your wedding was wonderful and that you are well!! Thank you :))
The wedding hasn't happened yet, but thank you, it is a work in progress. I'm glad there is a platform where crafters and scrapbookers can share videos with other sister scrappers and crafters. My craft space looks much bigger on video than it actually is so utilizing the space as best I could was very important. I've learned lots of things since putting it together. l'm glad you found it useful and look forward to seeing your space when its done! Happy Craftin'! TFW
Your Dollar Store must be the bomb because my Dollar Tree doesn't have any of these great storage tools! You've got some great ideas so I'm still searching! Tfs
Love the foam core glitter holder you made as well as those stackable plastic containers. Great ideas on a budget. TFS
Thanks! It was one of the first "organizing" ideas I had. I thought I would get rid of it when I found something better but it serves its purpose just fine. TFW!
Yes, I get quite a bit of stuff from Dollar Tree. They also have mounting tape, pop-dots, and tape runners for $1. I just love that store.
Wow! Quite an amazing space, I have truly been blessed, Annie
TFW!
you have a great craft room.you gave me and my daughter ideas for our craft room.
Thank you for the tour. Great storage solutions!
TFW! I'm glad I could help. Good luck with your shopping and the creation of your scraproom! Cant wait to see it when its done. Don't forget to post a video of it when its done. Please message me if you have any questions.
Wow! You have some awesome ideas. Glad I watched.
Love the way you store your studio g with the velcro!
lol a newbie? I have been scrapping and making cards for years.. and I still don't have as much stuff you have..lol love it!
You really do have some great tips... Thanks for the share... Girl I have 19 years to scrap... hehehe... New subbie. Looking forward to your vids.
i love ur craft room on a budget. thank u for sharing it
Thank you for watching, I hope you got some ideas from it.
Love your budget scrap room.✂️❤️✂️❤️✂️!
I am so loving all your ideas, I am like some others comments, my local dollar tree does not have any of the great items you have. I have a small room, that I am trying to organize I know I need to use more of my wall space not sure how and what I don't have a lot of money but I have a lot of stuff, I have collected and now I have time to use them. but not the space . again you gave me a lot of ideas especially the ribbon stacker thanks so so much
I'm glad the ribbon stackers worked for you. I have tried so many different ways on how to store ribbons and this was the only thing that worked for me. TFW
My next issue is how to store my rubber stamps I am not sure I want to do what you have done what would be another suggestion I like the ideal but for some reason I like the wood go figure, I am on the middle on this
Keep trying at Dollar Tree, eventually they may get them. I have seen them there. The one I go to is the 99cents Only Store. Not sure if they have that where you live but they are a common item so I would keep going to the Dollar Tree. They also have the little storage containers for brads and buttons and such there. But your right, our Dollar store here is the bomb, it even has a deli department, lol. TFW
It's ok! The dollar store has a lot of practical stuff! No need to spend an arm and a leg on a piece of furniture when you can find something similar for less =]. It's like clothes in my opinion: brand name doesn't matter as long as it doesn't affect its purpose. And what you did with your wooden stamps was brilliant. It's good to know that making a scrap room or any craft room doesn't have to be an expensive process.
It sure doesn't have to be expensive! I'm always looking to find ways to organize my scraproom without spending a lot of money. I've made many changes to my space since the video and I'm looking forward to showing new ideas. I learn so much from watching videos. I hope this video helped.
I have really loved watching your video and taking notes as I am coming to US in 4 weeks you say the dollar store I looked online is it the dollar tree???? you are so organised I wish I could get my act together and get my craft room sorted you have got me motivated now thankyou so much..Pauline x
I love your dollar store storage those clear cubes, and slim plastic cases were the best! I don't have many wooden stamps, but I might just have to remove them from their blocks, was it hard to do without tearing the rubber? Love the Sylvester Stallone poster, want an adorable actor who has stood the test of time.
Great ideas! ! Tfs
Pazzles. You can check on the Pazzles.com website. It does more than the Cameo, despite me only needing it to cut cardstock and such, I went with this machine instead ot the cameo because I paid $99 to have it shipped to my house and only $20 per month until its all paid. They have different price packages with different attachments on the website so buyers can choose what is the best thing for them. Its a great machine. I have used alot.
Hey great video very creative just a suggestion.. you can buy a very small wooden dowel and put your thread on it or cut a metal clothes hanger and put em on there through the center holes with both ides:) just a thought and it be cheap you would probably need a center support for the metal hanger as you get more thread?
The rubber stamp storage is one of the smartest things I've ever seen. My collection is very small and doesn't take up a lot of space but if it ever grows I now know what to do with them. Thanks for sharing!
I'm sure your collection will grow, it's too addicting not to. I'm glad my video was helpful. TFW!
I actually laughed with the "I'm a newbie, so I don't have that much stuff" you should see my stuff then. It is NOTHING hahaha thanks for the vid!
LOL, I know, I'm so blessed to have the means to buy the stuff that I do have. Most of it was purchased as a huge lot from craigslist. I lucked out. Now I'm learning the joys of sales, clearance and coupons. Half the fun is shopping for the stuff, isn't it? TFW!
WOW you may say your "new" But you have great stuff! A Lot of great stuff! I have been doing crafts form some years and I don't have a room or that much stuff. I share the office with my hubby and have a small desk and a couple small containers organizers! I love your room!
Very nice.. You seem to have planned what you've been getting even the items you got on clearance and sale :) I wish my room was as nice as yours but i got way to little space :)
Thanks. This space really isn't that big actually. When I watch the video, I'm like, Wow, this room looks bigger than it really is! LOL. I think storage is so important when working with a small space. I'm sure you will find awesome ways to work it out. TFW
In order to have scraps ready to use in any project you could get transparent 12 x 8 in document pouches from the dollar store for each color of the rainbow and store it with the rest of the paper in the shelf.
Thanks for watching! My tables are also from craigslist, listed under free stuff, type in office furniture, there is always someone giving away desks and chairs. Save, save, save. I also love the cubbies because I can always reposition them as my stash gets bigger or my needs change.
Many good storage ideas. I just didn't care when you said several times that you were a newbie, but you actually do have a decent amount of scrapbooking and stamping materials and tools. You have a great space for creating. I am going to watch more of your videos now. I am sure that I will get more helpful ideas.
I'm glad I could help with some ideas. I am a newbie in the sense that I have no idea what to do with the stuff I have. LOL. I used to think I knew what I was doing until I found YT.
Hi hon,
New Subbie here ;-)
Very nice craft room on a budget!
But i have to laugh when u say u don't have much ( i would be in my 7th heaven if i had all that)
hugs, Connie~
I have redone my craft room several times over since this video, I'm looking forward to posting an updated one. TFW!
Awesome!...I'll be watching! ;-)
Funny you say that...I just bought a plastic box, LOL. What stampers are you referring to?
Where did you find those really slim document cases for you old wood mount stamps?
also...sorry i am just commenting as i watch to try and share ideas that have worked for me... you can go to the postoffice and get those free boxed to ship stuff in and seal the opened end and cut them diagonally and store your scraps that way by color is how i store mine or yiu can even do it like you do your pics/page map idea with a cereal box but the po boxes are way sturdy!!! and if you put craft paper on the outside they look so cute:) just an fyi for ya!
Thanks for the tip, I have seen other people do that as well. I have so many changes I need to make in my craft room, I will keep this tip in mind. TFW!
First I would like to suggest that you stop apologizing for your lack of funds. You have a wonderful room with many great ideas that others will find helpful. You might want to place a photo of your husband to be, along with your dream man "Rocky" Please consider yourself blessed. From one budget babe to another.
Great advice, Lori! I have to be sure to put up a photo of my real husband and my husband in my mind, LOL! I do consider myself so lucky to be able to have my wonderful space. Its all new to me, I was never able to have a space before. I really do love the idea that my fellow scrap sisters can find my videos helpful because I learn so much from watching everyone! TFW!
I sore my stickers in page covers from dallor tree in packs of 16 then store in a binder..☺❤I'm a newbie to crafting to
Oh my goodness “I’m a newbie so I don’t have much.” ???? It sure looks like a lot to me. Thank you for the tour. So many good ideas.
Denise, I understand what you mean. I liked the look of all my wood stamps too but it just wasn't ideal for me to keep them as they took up way too much space in my small work space. One suggestion is to build a shelf for them.
great video. You have given me so many ideas for my craft room on a budget
Wow!!! It turned out great, I love the creative ways you came up with to store items. Pure genius !!! Have a great day, Kelly
This was the best! I am new to scrapbooking myself and don't have tons of money. I am so thankful that you shared so many great ideas!! LOVE THIS!!
:) Most of it was purchased as a lot from craigslist. There are always people who sell stuff in bulk and I jumped on one of those deals. Just yesterday I was able to purchase 1000+ 12x12 sheets of paper for $35! Whenever I see deals like that I jump on it even if I don't need the paper (but I always need paper). Try craigslist, you might find some good stuff. TFW.
Thanks. The great thing about the lil storage bins is you can move them around if you have to, to make different size shelves. Adding a little glue to hold them in place is an option but I like the freedom of taking them apart. For my daughters room I created the same shelving unit and I also spray painted them pink. Too Cute! Thanks for watching.
The rubber wasn't hard to remove at all. The newer stamp blocks are a bit tricky, but I hear popping them in the microwave for a few seconds helps to soften the glue. I've not had to do that because all of mine came off just fine. Oh, and Sylvester Stallone is my imaginary husband, I can not have a scraproom without him. LOL. TFW.
I purchased the easy foam online at stampersbest. They are quite inexpensive and storing rubber stamps this way is saving me a lot of space and money. Soon I will be posting more videos on how to scrapbook when you don't have a lot of time and still make great layouts. Please feel free to subscribe so you can let me know what you think. TFW!!
Most of it was from a store called the 99cents Only Store, however, Dollar Tree has a lot of the same items. I have so much more organizing to do. I look forward to any tips or tricks I can get when it comes to my craft space. Glad I could help. TFW
I wish I knew what breed my puppy is, we rescued him from a shelter and all they could tell us was he's a Terrier mix. I'm not so sure. He doesn't have any Terrier qualities. I also have a Yorkie and he is true to the Terrier breed.
I am also a newby, I have even less than you. I need paper, punches, inks, etc, etc, etc. But your ideas inspire me. Tfs. Katie.
TFW! Katie.
Lucky for me I was able to get the bulk of my stash as a Lot sale on craigslist. And for cheap. You know the old saying, One person's trash is another person's treasure...That saying was written for me, LOL.
The cubes save a great deal of money. The peg board can be purchased at Home Depot in a great big sheet for less than $10. Much better than getting the itty bitty squares at Micheal's for $30+. Thanks for watching.
I am saying Thickers. They are dimensional alphas that add so much style to a page. They come in hundreds of different fonts and colors and they also come in plain white so you can add you own design to them. TFW.
Your video is very informative. Thank you for the great ideas. I am just setting up a craft room and will be going to the dollar store. Thank you for sharing.
I just discovered you today and subscribed
I would love to see your room nearly four years later now
I truly am a newbie as I have just now gained my very own craft room that I am setting up
So thank you so much for all of the inspiration that truly is on a budget. The foam board container that you made for the glitter is amazing. I also discovered the trick for the white felt sheets for the distress tool. Awesome idea with the rubber stamps!!
You are very creative and I appreciate you sharing your ideas with us.
I think that you have a great thing going. I also learn a new thing or two from you :) Just one suggestion is to use a card file box and cut your scraps to a size to fit in the card file box organized by color or by season whatever works for you. One thing--Give sweet Lil Rambo a {{{hugz}}} from MamaK and Princess Pepper Pud Paws
Hi again. I have a Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Grand Caliber, in manual die cutting machines. Plus an E-bosser electric cutter (similar to the Vagabond, only with a larger size cutting platform than Vagabond). Also I have a Cricut Expression and Cameo Silhouette electronic cutting machine. If I had to choose just one manual cutter it would be the Grand Caliber, as it is the most versatile of the manual cutters. The cutting plates are much larger to allow cutting of multiple dies at one pass, or the gutting of extra large Grand Caliber dies. And if I were choosing just one Electronic cutting machine it would be the Cameo Silhouette. This machine is fabulous and I highly recommend it.
found you again... lol still love the newbie comment.. getting ideas.. I finally decided .. my "guest room"... well no one comes to visit me.. giggles.. trying to get ideas for a craft room...
Yay! Rocky, love the shows too, actually all Sylvester Stallone! How did you make the holes in your foam core for the glitter? You have really good ideas, the rubber stamps is huge. Thanks for sharing😁 By the way Rambo is adorable ❤
You have definitely made a great decision going with the Cameo Silhouette. You won't be disappointed I am sure. As for the Big Shot, it is a great machine and you will love it too. Good Luck and happy crafting.
Hi I am also in a budget and I would like to decorate my craft room. I have a lot of crafts and didn't know how to storage all my crafts. but now with you video you gave me some good ideas. thank you so much for sharing your video now I can have my craft room in a budget too.

Janet
Found you and your charming! My name is Pat and I'm a scrapaholic too! :o) You gave sooo many great ideas and Dollar Store options, I will be spending tomorrow shopping.
I'm finally creating my craft room, (many ideas from you!) getting back my dining area. :o) Many thanks!
my gosh. great job on the room.. an a newbie.. you cracked me up.. im a newbie an poor an dont have near the paper or supplies you do... lol.. but anyway... the shelving your keeping your papers in.. i love it.. an i know you said you got it at lowes or hobby lobby.. but do u know what its actually called by chance/? i need to make a shelf like that for my paper an im clueless.. lol.. thanks for sharing your pretty crafting room an all your ideas. ;)
Great and thrifty tips. Thanks for sharing.
Another You Tuber shared a great idea for scrap storage. At Staples you can get a plastic file crate that you can hang files in. I took a piece of the same color cardstock as the scraps, put it on the top of the file and find it very handy!
Love and Light
Vivian
Hi, I have been looking on line trying to find the document folders that you put your rubber stamps in after you took them off the wood blocks. I have been wanting to do that but I can not find the folders anywhere. You said at the dollar store, which one do you have where you live. We have a dollar tree here in MN Hope you can help me. Thanks Judy
Loved your video! I am big on sales and clearance and the Dollar Store! I read somewhere that the reason Sly Stallone has that "snear" look is because when he was traveling thru the birth canal, a nerve on one side of his face was damaged. Only he could carry that off! Your room is so organized and functional and nice!
Loved your video! Very inspiring. I moved from a place where I had a lot more room and now I'm squeezed in a small space. I got lots of good ideas from you! Great narritating! Thanks
you have a great efficient room. I love your Puertorrican flag and bracelet. I am from PR too. and I started just recycling stuff. great video.
Love it, you have so meny smart ideas, I have written down a few ideas of yours.. love the rubber stamp idea.. even the glitter holder you made, I would love to see how you made it.. I have to much stuff I don’t even use, so for me, less is better. you have an awesome craft room.. thank you for shearing
OMG you are SO organized! I am so jealous. I have a much smaller space but a ton of stuff and need all the ideas I can get. Thank you for sharing your tips- some of the best I have seen.
Thanks 4 showing ur scrap area. I' have a room but it's not finish yet, some of ur ideas are very helpful. Ur puppy is sooo cute my son has one like that .I'm following u lol.
Although I found a UK website I was diverted to another site, but it's not working. Either they have a problem or they are no more:(
Hi Pam. Many clever ideas I can use. I wish I had such a craftroom, love it. So, thank you very much for sharing :))
OMGosh i love your room you did an AMAZING job at organizing it may i ask what type~kind of printer/scanner do you have?! I like the look of yours it looks soooo sleek!!! Tfs xoxo~~anna
Looks good I'm trying to do something like that too cus I'm doing stuff on a budget too so I don't have alto cus I'm just strsting o get the stuff I want.....think u done a good job for what u got....
Is there a fee to use page maps? or is it free and how do you print the layouts
Thanks for sharing Im trying to start my craft room myself and like you I'm on a tight budget but I also love going to the dollar store so thanks for the tips.....
No, there is no fee. Go to pagemaps.com and click the page maps link or archived link, whichever one takes you there, and a list of all the past months and years should come up, just click on them and print or you can save to your computer. I just print them, its easier to put them all in a book. Glad to help, can't wait to see how your craft room turns out. TFW!
I just watch your channel........ you had a lot for a newbie....... but I love your flag young lady .......
Whoa. U keep saying ur a newbie and u sont have alot but its tripled what i have lol! Great video on saving money on storage TFS
Like what you did with the wood stamps wow what a space saver!!! For sure I'm doing it thanks for the idea :D
stunning!! you have loads of Beautiful craft goodie's..
AWESOME ... 2 thumbs up... thanks for the info I am in the process of creating a crafting room/station. Be Blessed.
A woman cave/space is the best thing we can give ourselves. Have fun with it. I can't afford all the fancy, pricey furniture and most people are on a budget. Make it functional and comfy for you. TFW!
you could put your thread on a peg board on pegs on the wall. major space saver! and it doesn't look bad.
I'm glad it helped. I will be posting more storage and money saving tips. TFW.
You have some brilliant ideas!
You have some great tips!! Now I have to g to my Dollar Store and get some of those clear cubes!
LOL!! "We're poor."
Yet you have a craft room jam packed.
Priorities. I get it. Crafters prerogative.
Paper before dinner, LOL. Everything in my craft room was most definitely purchased either on sale or with coupons. I try to spend as little as I can. I will be uploading a video soon on how and where to buy the lowest priced craft items. Stay tuned. Happy Crafting!
Love all your storage ideas!!! How do you spell the Pazzel macine? I have never heard of it. TFS
Great idea with the distressing tool. That is absolutely ingenious. Thanks for that tip.
I do the same with my pictures!!! It works amazing for me too ;)
Hi...I just found this video and think your ideas are FANTASTIC! Who can't save a few dollars? Means you have more to spend on goodies!! I was so impressed with your creative use of so many dollar store finds.....I'm just annoyed that I can't get to my dollar store before they close today! ~TFS, Sharon (Go EAGLES!)
I love, love, love, the Dollar Store when it comes to storage. I just can not afford the fancy stuff so I try to make due with what I can. And any storage container can be altered (painted) to fit your decor colors. Those cubes I used in my craft room, I also put some in my daughters room and made a shelf and spray painted them soft pink. She loves them. Do my eyes deceive me: Are you an Eagles fan, LOL, I didn't think there were that many of us left! Plz post a video of your space, would love to see it. TFW!
LOL! Just how new are you...love all your ideas! And right away, I'm inspired with what to do with my scraps. I know a lot of people color code them and put them into the jumbo Ziplocks, but I have mine in large, portfolio type binders with handles and accordian file pockets. Hate it! You don't know how freeing it was to see yours just loose in a container! I'm reorganizing my scrap room, so have lots of empties and I'm going to dump my scraps in one TODAY! Easy to just stir them around and find what you need! So thanks. Oh, and sadly, my Dollar Tree doesn't have a lot of the neat storage items you found.
I was looking for a way to store my scraps and as it turns out, this big bin really did work for me after all for several reasons: 1. Every time I look thru it I get to see what's in there so I won't forget. 2. the 'sorting by color' business would drive me bonkers, I'm not that disciplined, however, every now and then I go go thru the scraps and organize them by SIZE, not color or company, etc. there is a certain freedom to it, lol.
Hi! Just wanted to let you know we are still watching your vid! You have a very relaxing voice to listen to & I totally enjoyed it. I have seen the idea of removing wooden stamps from the wood and mounting them on the cling foam. I don't have alot of wooden stamps but it seemed like a good idea -- until I saw a friend trying to pull the rubber from the wooden block! It is no piece of cake, especially the more expensive wooden stamps. The cheap ones come off when you don't want them to! So I decided I didn't have that many stamps to make it worthwhile. And I have to admit, I am one of those people who need the acrylic block because I NEVER stamp a wooden block straight! I love those ribbon boxes -- I am a ribbon junkie, put it on anything that will stand still long enough, and I have alot of them bought 1 at a time with coupons at Michaels and, sad to say, you are right, haven't seen them there anymore. My hubs made me a wooden brace that I could use to stabilize them when I took them to crops. They are brittle and break very easily. Cheers to you! Love your room!
Hi Karen. Its nice to know my craft room storage video is still helping fellow crafters looking to get organized! Also, the ribbon storage bins, last time I checked, can be found at the Container Store. I'm not sure if it can be ordered online. Since this video I have found a much better way to store my stamps so I'm hoping to get a video of that up soon. Thanks so much for watching!
A;so can you tell me how or where you got those page lay outs from plez?? TFS!! You rock girlie your room is so creative and it's nice that you have shown us newbies how to save some money in one area so we can spend it in other areas!! TFS!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! also you can buy velcro and attach it to ur inkpad and stick that material younuse for inking to the pad so youl know what color it was :)
Do you mean the page layouts in my layouts binder? If so, I printed them from the internet from a site called pagemaps.com. The site is by Becky Fleck and you can click on past or present layouts to print in several different formats. I print as many as I can, put them in page protectors, then in a binder. It really helps.
You say you're new but wow you have a lot more than I have I barely have any 12x12 paper and no punches and so on so much I still need to get, this is insane amount for someone who says they're a beginner lol,
Btw I'm a new subscriber, TFS :)
Hello I did not catch your name but wanted to let you know that I think your foam sheet glitter bottle/paints holder is a fantastic idea and I'm going to make one of those. And I was going to get rid of my wire rack cube things and now I'm going to use it for my pattern/card stock paper. So many good ideas. I also love your idea for changing your wood block stamps. Love, Love, Love, Very good ideas. Also going to use peg board idea. Keep those wonderful Frugal ideas coming. I shop at Tuesday Morning for paper and embellishments. Going to use the Dollar tree plastic cubes also, did not know that they stacked and locked. Fantastic Ideas.
I still have those cubes, they are so handy! The foam core holder for the glitters was super easy to make. I need to make another one and stack them one on top of the other. I will also be posting a video on my new stamp storage. TFW!
Hi Nora. I actually purchased them at a store called Daiso's. I'm not sure if that store is all over the country, I'm located in Northern Cali. Im sure stores like Office Depot, Office Max, or Staples may carry them. I hope you can find them, its a great storage solution.
Newbie?! For a newbie, you sure do have a lot of stuff. I've been scrapping for years and my room is a walk in closet stuffed with shelves and supplies. Great ideas and great video! Thanks for sharing. btw: You probably already know this, but you can also use those unwanted cd cases. That what I have and I use a cd tower to store them. Keep them coming!
I say newbie because I'm still totally learning how to use all this stuff. Sometimes I buy things (on sale of course) without knowing how to use them and I buy them simply because I saw someone here on TH-cam talking about it. It takes forever for me to learn how to use something. Thanks for the tip. TFW!
I love your idea of "dismounting" your wood stamps to give you more space. I think this is something I will have to give some hard thought to. It would save me a ton of space! I'm sure there would be a couple I would have to leave mounted just for sentimental reasons. =) Thanks for sharing.
~Barb in So Cal
Hey Barb, I did leave a few mounted just because they were my first stamps ever, and a few were my favorites, I get it. But it really does save a ton of space and I packed almost 275 stamps into those file folders. I can not tell you how happy I was to free up that space and how easy it is to categorize them now. I hope it works out for you, keep me posted. TFW!
