The reference to Tetris made a loud clunk sound in my brain! TFS
Your comment gave me a little giggle, thnx! 😆
A good clunk I hope? 😘
...right?
LOL, to Russian folk music no doubt I bought my first Mac to play Tetris on, ltterally
Norrine, between you and Clutterbug I have everything I need to take away the ‘overwhelm’ that I often suffer from! Clutterbug has helped me to determine what ‘type’ I am which has helped so much. At 58 yo in May I have tried every idea I could find over the years but until I realized I crave ‘visual abundance’ because I forget what I can’t see! Your container that is subdivided made my soul happy! It is clear and just what I need! I wondered why I love the game of Tetris and now I know, rofl!! But as they stack up in the game you start feeling frenzied just the same in real life! The foundation is essential, isn’t it? I appreciate this video so much.💕🌸💕
I am so happy you are finding things that work for you!!!! Keep me posted!!!!
I typically add a label to a clear shoe box this way: I write what I think will be in it on a 4x6 card and slip that in the end. It is easily visible, and so quick to change if needed, This is especially good if my stash of items changes so the container is not the right size. I use this method with Christmas storage and large pieces of fabric bins as well, as they often change from year to year.... I itemize the different fabrics in the bin on the label..... Love your ideas
So smart!!! Love the tip to itemize the fabrics! Saves you time! Thanks for watching, Judi!
Hey Norrine....it was sooooo good to see one of your videos again. I've had a few setbacks and hopefully, I'm in the clear for a while. Dear, I want you to know that there is never any need for me to go elsewhere for organization ideas because I KNOW, you are the BEST! You are so creative and intelligent, not to mention kind and we are all blessed to have you. Thanks, Norrine, and until next time....
I'm sorry to hear you've had some setbacks. Hope things are getting better for you 💜You are so sweet, I am so happy to have you here - but if you ever do get stuck, there are so many amazing organizers out there! Sometimes hearing something from someone else will just finally click and help! But then come back and tell me about it so we can celebrate :)
I agree.
Love the idea of sub-dividing in the larger container and will be do that starting tomorrow. Another major reorganization in the craft room is planned to start tomorrow, and will just work little by little until the job is done. Thank you for posting another well thought out video on storage options for us to try.
I am so excited for you!!!! Keep me posted - you've got this!!!
Great ideas, I’m in the process of organizing my craft space. I will say you don’t realize how much you have until you start organizing.
So true!
Or packing up to move....😲
@@scootermom1791 definitely that too
Love “seeing” you. You’re one of a handful of TH-camrs that I try to watch every video. I had gotten overwhelmed trying to follow too many (I think they’re called) channels and all of their content. So I unsubscribed from a few and skip lots of videos. Keep up the good work!
I am honored to be on your watch list. 💜
I like rice cakes which come in a long sleeve. There are two individual sealed packs of rice cakes in the durable soft-plastic outer sleeve. I found that turning down the top of the sleeve, at the opening, and putting the skein of yarn(s) I'm using for a project, in the sleeve, the yarn remains protected from everything, and THEN, I put the yarn into a cereal box, and if necessary, cut the box to the height of the skein(s). One can toss a skein into a travel work bag, so very conveniently. The boxes can be stored on a shelf like a book. Its very tidy and practical...if you like rice cakes that is! : ) I put my plastic bags to all sorts of jobs around the house. Love your channel, Noreen.
Great tips!
I love our container within a container method! Tetris it!
Tee hee... this from my Tetris QUEEN! 💜🍷😘
Super ideas & uses. So happy someone asked & you answered. Appreciate you!
If you have die cuts, stickers, or scrapbooking stamps (those without the wooden part), remove them from their packaging and arrange them vertically in a box by theme. Make labeled dividers that fit your container to reduce the amount of time flipping through looking for what you need. Much more efficient!
Great tip, Karen! Thanks
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Dollar Tree for organizing bins. Neither of the DTs I have access to have those can holders, and they are pricey at the big box stores, and I really want a couple of them. That's pretty discouraging. Also, love your foam core board and cardboard box organizer ideas! Showing us how to break things down into smaller storage containers, then place them inside larger containers is key for a streamlined and cohesive look.
Hi, Noreen. I agree with and use most of these tips. However, I look for containers that are perfectly square because the containers that are wider at the top than the bottom waste space and can be hard to shelf.
Very true! Sadly they are usually SO much more expensive. Since they don't nest, the prices are always higher because they can not ship as many. But you are absolutely right, that the square containers store more. Thanks for watching! :)
🥰
Great storage ideas. I needed this video big time. Like the idea of using large container to store smaller containers to save space. You always have great ideas. Thanks ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Each time I watch one of your organizing videos like this one I refine my thinking on how to do things in the most efficient way. I have been forgetting to put the smaller containers inside the big ones! That’s why I have stacks of shoeboxes when that category could all fit into one big one without it being too heavy!! I know you always SAY that but I must not be hearing it!! Thank you, Noreen for being my fairy godmother!! Even this 80 yr old needs a sweetie like you with the best, newest, and smartest ideas! You surely are loved!! 🎶❤️
I know right. I wasn't listening either. I'm 66 myself, soo... Light bulb moment this morning... lol
I'm always happy to help. I still hear things that I've known... but it didn't quite register. Love those, "OHHHHH!" moments. :)
wicker baskets (plasyic or real) are great for ribbon, upi can pull a tail out through one of the holes and dispense it that way
The shoe boxes from Dollar Tree, I put a rubber band on them, to make sure they're closed. It still saves money.
I love the 56 qt with nesting smaller containers i side!
Hi! I'm so glad I watched this today! Just yesterday I was going through the Banker's boxes I have full of craft supplies. I need to put my Sterlite boxes to better use by using the smaller boxes inside! Thanks for doing this break down again, it's always relevant!
You are so welcome!
You should see if Sterilite would sponsor a video. I have so many of their containers - I love them.
OMGosh - that would be so cool!!!!!
Big Lots also carries Sterilite storage bins, including the shoe box size.
Great reminder! Thanks!
Thanks. I have been trying to get away from the Wally store, so this is a great idea for me!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Any ideas on what to do with craft/scrapbook papers,(6×6, 8x8, 12x12 and scraps) right now I have them on the paper racks- remember the ones they use to have in the scrapbooking stores?
It still looks great but it takes up a lot of room. Sorry to ask if you did a video on this, new to your channel.
Thanks! 😊
I've also seen the smaller sterilite bins in Dollar General
@@memekendall3197 i found that 6x6 pads fit in a shoe box. I turned in on its end and it takes up less space while allowing me to see what i have. I write on the edge of each pad with description. 12x12 pads were harder. I finally went through each and pulled papers i loved. I’m donating the rest and it feels so good to free of the extra stuff.
More great tips. I wished we would get those drink containers. Those would be awesome!!💗
UK? I need someone to help me shop there so I can have an equivalent to offer!!!
Love the ideal of sub divided in a larger container. Great video.
Thanks 👍
you amaze me such simple & logical ideas as these would have never crossed my mind but once I see you do them I think why haven't I been doing that for years?!
Yay!!!! I'm always so happy to hear that it helps someone out. :)
Thank you for the ideas 😊. I saw a comment below about similar products in the UK. We have the ‘Really Useful Boxes’ brand which can be a bit pricey but are extremely sturdy and well constructed storage boxes of many different sizes, shapes and colours. My favourite shop is Wilko’s which sells a variety of very reasonably priced storage and organisation products. They have the tin/can organisers, drawer organisers, the wicker style plastic boxes, baskets, boxes, etc.
OMGosh! Thank you so much!!!! I just went to the Wilko website! Now I can suggest a comparable item! Thanks!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer You’re welcome 😊. I love Wilko. It’s not every shop where you can buy flower seeds, dusters, cat food, glue and a toilet seat all at the same time 😄
Teterus is a perfect name for organizing approach. I was thinking a visual of what works well together in certain heights, certain standard drawers and what breaks down themes within large containers would be wonderful. My aha moment of this one was the bins inside the large bins. We have an Indiana snake pit of cords tangled together that. Will be my next project.
It REALLY does work so well! Have fun with those cords!!!
Better fun with the cords than the snake pit😳😝. ❤️😀
I have the Target bins with the green handles. I used them to store papers of all kinds when I taught elementary school, then brought them home when I retired. Now they hold copy paper, memory items, etc. They are worth the price.
They are very good quality! I've used them side by side with the container store bins (nearly triple the price) and the only difference was the handle color!
I love the boxes inside the boxes. Do watercolor and also craft . this is perfect
So glad this was helpful!!!!
We don’t have a lot of those products in the UK but I wanted to leave a comment to say, that colour really suits you 😊
I've GOT to find some comparable items for my UK friends.... want to go shopping for me and share what you find???
I have issues with weight, but if I use the big containers with smaller inside :) and stacked them low, they would work Perfect for my billons of smaller craft items. Thanks, Needed this today!... gt
You can get some smaller... I think the next size down is a 44 Qt. Try that and see if it's easier! OR Try a bankers box - those are smaller and lightweight. :)
Norrine-You are so inspiring and uplifting. Watching your videos makes my day! I hope you never quit giving us the great ideas that you do. You’re so talented and have a true gift! Dont ever forget that!! Make it a great day! Sincerely, Lauri
Thank you so much, Lauri!! I appreciate you being here. 💜
Painting lids is an awesome idea. I’ll check out the Dollar Tree. The can bin is fab!
You always have such great tips! I love how you maximize space! Great ideas. 😁💜
Thanks so much! 😊
I cannot wait to get more organizing worked on... I have my Bedroom, my "closet" which is actually the attic stairs behind a door, my craft area (in the basement) and ALL my decor items so when I get the opportunity it to do my usual change overs I can find things easily and put things away quickly. I love your ideas and all the suggestions. Thanks for all your videos... will have to share my "closet space I used the same shelf liner as wall paper on the walls and stairs with my black bookcase and small armoire... more later, thanks again for the helpful hints.
I can't wait to see it!!!! Sounds like we think alike! :)
I was hoping to be off my crutches yesterday but instead the Dr gave me 1.5 more weeks and an MRI to be scheduled so my closet is put on hold for a bit... but I cannot wait!
Thank you so much for all of the inspiration. Unfortunately, living in Canada, we don't have a Dollar Tree to shop at but we do have dollar stores and Walmart in the larger centers. Will be checking some of these out as I organize my craft room.
Hope you can find similar products!
So. Good, you are the best!
Love your videos! Finding myself running around the house looking for shelves that have dead space that I can better utilize. Thank you for the tips!
It's amazing what a difference it can make!!!
I am finally doing what you said in another video that I watched yesterday, "Figure out what containers, size and amount, before buying them. Don't buy then figure out how to use". Last night I went through my beading/craft room and I know you would believe it, I had at least 20 different sizes and types of containers. I'm happy to say I have a few spare shelves of different sizes that I can cut-to-fit with my saw when the time comes. I Just wish our Dollar Trees in Canada had the stuff that the ones in the States have. I greatly appreciate all of your videos and knowledge that you are sharing. P.S. Am I the only one that noticed that you changed the height of that middle shelf with the jars on during the video? ☺♥
Joan - I am so excited for you!!!! Please keep me posted on how your bead storage goes!!!! I love that you noticed my shelf!!! It's a game I play with some of my viewers... I move things around all of the time - then wait to see how quickly they notice. 😉 I think you just joined the game too. xoxoxo
Another fantastic video
Thanks, Debbie!!!!
I love your calming voice and all your tips. You look really good in this video.
Awww! Thank you so much, Angela 🙂
Very handy ideas...thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
Hubby and I are currently adding shelves to my 1/4 of the storage shed (that’s all the space I am allowed!) We are trying to avoid having any dead space. Sub dividing larger totes is a fantastic tip. Thanks for sharing your experience and creativity.
You are so welcome!
So much good info in this video. I recently reorganized in my craft room and has trouble finding containers with straight sides. I ended up finding exactly what i needed at Daiso. I was happily surprised at the choices and will shop there again. I think the price of each container was $1.50 and they were perfect for my cards and cardmaking supplies.
I LOVE Daiso! The only reason I didn't mention them - is I NEVER find the same container twice..... LOL
I have been to a Daiso only once. Their west coast stores are mainly in California. I do think what is especially valuable about this video is even when she talks about stores/brands you might not have nearby (we are getting a Target store this year! Which will cut 150 miles off a Target trip!) she goes into some detail about what she looks for (sizing considerations, features that improve sturdiness, price, etc.).
Wow! Great ideas, especially liked the can holder for on pantry shelves and the big bin with shoe boxes inside of it. Thank you
Thanks so much! 😊
I like all kinds of Sterilite storage boxes. Dollar Tree does have a new kind of the shoe box size boxes. The tops do snap on, they come in many colors.
Gasp! I'll have to drive out to one of the better Dollar Trees to see!!!! How exciting!
Hope my close DT has them soon
Thank you!
Wonderful video! Thank you!
Thanks for all of your great tips! I am a sucker for containers and baskets. I need to take a lot of your organizing advice!
Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions! 💜
Great tips.
Thanks for watching!
Very good tips. I have a considerable amount of jewelry making supplies and have them divided up, but storing the smaller containers in larger ones would be very helpful. Good to know about the collapsible bags, too. Thanks for all you do.
You are so welcome!!!
Great ideas thanks.
Another winner!
Great tips. I'm going to 'steal' my can bin from the kitchen and use it for paint bottles in my craft room.
LOL Poor kitchen! Losing it's containers! I do that all of the time too.
Smart shopper🤪, that way the next time you go to DT you can pick up another one for the kitchen! Ooorr you’ll even decide you need more for something similar!!! ❤️😀
Love all your ideas and do and don'ts. Great job as always. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
Thank you so much!
Great ideas, as usual. I agree with another comment, why go anywhere else for organization tips. Thanks for sharing. Wow, sure wish I had a neighbor like you. Your the best. Take care. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
xoxoxo Thanks, Becky.
Thank you for this tutorial, I like to craft, but I have stuff all over the place and unfortunately by the time I gather what I need ,my husband gets home and have to cook 🤭 but now I'll get organized Thanks to you 🥰
Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions! 💜 🌺💜
Yes! Thank you 🙏 I’m just getting around to my kitchen and these are great ideas. 🤗
So glad!

You are so welcome!
THANK YOU!!!
You're welcome!
Great ideas, you are my favorite. You inspire me.
Wow! Thanks so much, Sandra 😊
Your videos always are inspiring and smart. Thank you for making them. Sadly, I live in a country without Dollar Stores! Horrors! But I’ve been taking boxes and decorating them.
OH NO!!!! I am so sorry - hoping you can find something comparable - and still affordable. xoxoxox
Great ideas!
Thank you! 😊
Amazing!

Thank you! 😊
Thanks for sharing all your ideas. It is very much appreciated. Have a great day.
Thank you! You too!
Great information and tips. Ideas always are the Bomb!
Thanks, Johni!!!
I loved the idea of placing smaller containers in the large storage box! I do this with smaller drawer containers but never thought of amplifying it. Awesome idea! Thank you, Norrine!
Yay! Glad I could help!
Great info.
Thanks for watching, Nina!!
I love storage containers and looking around my craft room I see several that I have put to use! Thank you for this video!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks, Diane!
Lots of good ideas that I am anxious to try...thanks so much!!!

Great video!
Thanks!
Awesome 👌 love it you inspire me. Thank you 😊
Thank you!!! :)
I love your new video beginning! And this video was so helpful!! ❤ you!
Thank you so much!!
What a great video!! I’m just in the process of organizing my art studio. Perfect timing.
You got this!
Thanks! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Same to you!
Great video. Great ideas. I have never seen the soda can boxes at my dollar tree. Maybe just never looked for them. I will keep my eye out going forward. I also don’t care for the DT shoe boxes. The lid corners are curved and don’t fit well on my shelf’s. I like the squared off corners on the sterlite containers
I totally agree!!!! I hear DT is changing their shoebox design.... let's see what they do!
Thank you so very much. That was really helpful💖🙏🏻
You are so welcome
Fantastic information. I’ve learned so much and I’m saving it for future reference. Thanks you!
Glad it was helpful!
So are so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. This will make my life so much easier! 👍💕💯☺️
So glad!
This was very helpful Norrine! I am always playing around with what fits the best in my space.
I used to think I was doing things wrong... then I realized I was just always updating my organizing system to match my current needs. :)
I need to organize my craft space as well it's chaos ... I see if walmart has them 56 qt ones ..
Tfs such a great video as always! I find your videos very informative and very helpful 👍
Thanks so much!
I bought a set of 10 sterilite 6 qt. shoeboxes from Walmart for $10.22. So just a little bit more than $1 each. Their lids are grey (yawn), but I used them to organize my birds' toys and supplies which aren't immediately visible to me or anyone else. So, no biggie on the color.
Btw, I experience SAD: seasonal anxiety and depression disorder. I feel that I almost literally have a craving for bright, cheery colors during the end of fall to the middle of spring. I actually love the brightly colored dollar tree storage options and have found ways to use them to add a lot of color in my apartment year round.
It would be awesome if you could possibly create a video on ways to easily add bright colors to homes that can still create a neat, clean, organized look. Though I have bright colors around in each room, I don't think the rooms really mesh together cohesively, if that makes any sense. Each room just has random florescent type colors throughout. At any rate, considering many people have to deal with SAD, I thought a video (or two?) showing ways to incorporate bright colors throughout a home would be helpful to a lot of people. 🙂
I love that idea, Angela! I am learning about SAD right now! As I am pretty sure that is what hit me this last year... and looking back - MANY years in a row! I will see what I can do as the summer ends. xoxoxo
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I'm sorry you've had to go through that as well, but I do look forward to seeing what you come up with. 🙂🙂🙂
