This weeks video is near to my heart. I LOVE crafting... and am always trying to find a way to help others create a crafting spot - no matter WHAT size area they have! Here are some of my favorite suggestions!
I love seeing all your crafting ideas. I have searched everywhere for how to set up my craft room, but right now l am still working mostly in the kitchen. I moved into a larger home by myself mostly because l was looking at the time so many people were moving to Texas from Calif. They were going fast so l took what l could. Unfortunately my mom had just passed and trying to part with some things is not working out well. Anyway the biggest plus is l have 2 rooms that are joined together by a Jack and Jill bathroom. One is a sewing room, the other for crafts. They are painted and ready to be set up, just haven't organized anything enough yet. But one thing l have found that has helped with storing flowers is, l had gotten a few things in very long boxes that are not all that big otherwise. They are great to fill with what you have, seal them and put them in a closet, under a bed or on top of your bookcases. They hold alot and can be marked for what they are holding. Love your videos, love that there is such a sisterhood here. Appreciate your help.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. If I had my RV already, I'd come help you get all set up! It sounds like a dream to have TWO rooms next to each other!!!! Please send pictures when you get it done. xoxox
I have a pegboard I couldn't live without. To give the needed space behind I glued on 1" strips of wood top, bottom and across the middle. Then I added Jenga pieces I got at dollar tree in various places because pegboard will bend in a little as you add more weight to it. The other inexpensive method of storing craft supplies is to get the wire closet shelves ( you showed them here) and use s hooks to hang all kinds of plastic storage containers. You can put a hole through the plastic using the tip of your glue gun. I raided Dollar tree for their clear acrylic storage boxes to use on mine. I also use a fabric drawstring laundry bag to hold all my rolls of paper ( wrapping, brown, and so on) That hangs on my wall mounted wire shelf also.
Norrine thanks for all the new ideas. I am still decluttering and organizing so it is paying off. Even my husband started saying he liked the way the food pantry is stored in containers so everything is easier to find, imagine that. Love your ideas and all that you share from others. Thanks again. May you be filled back up as much as we get filled up by you. Affectionately
I see that a previous 'fan' mentioned that Craftsman has the pink chest. They usually run a special on those in October - Breast Cancer awareness Month. But, these days they have EVERY color of the rainbow, including my favorite - Purple. I've also seen people use them a movable kitchen island with butcher block on top.
I use a large tackle box that has 3 large and 2 small removable divíder trays. I LOVE IT!! I use it for all of my small embellishments - buttons, brad's, clasps, etc. It works great!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer My husband is a mechanic so when the toolboxes went on sell, he bought me one, a bright pink one! I love it!! I keep the majority of my craft supplies in it.
LOVE all your videos. They are really motivating me to de-clutter. Have had to take a short break since I recently had carpal tunnel surgery, so waiting to be able to use both hands. It took YOUR videos to motivate this 70 yr old pack rat. Hubby is thrilled with the progress I have made, but impatient for the whole house to get done, but not so impatient that he wants to help. LOL. God Bless you for what you do.
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you & others love the toolbox. It works perfectly, it’s very durable & cute in my craft room. I look forward to your upcoming videos. RoseMary
I'm working on making a craft room now. Another hack is to stuff sold for 'hardware' 'fishing tackle' for whatever reason men's stuff is cheaper than women's. The exact same box labeled tackle box and craft bead storage at same store had drastically different prices. Craft one was more than 3X the cost and were literally same exact container, same manufacturer, same size.
Andi H Whaaat!!! What a ripoff. They get faster restroom lines and cheaper stuff??? 😡 Good to know. I’ll check men’s stuff to compare before buying. Ty 👍🏻😉
Thank you so much for sharing my craft room in your video. I love all of your ideas I especially the idea with the peg board I definitely have to incorporate this idea in my craft room. Your an angel, have a blessed week
Wow! You just reminded me of a Craftsman tool box I saw some years ago when visiting my folks in North Carolina. I was in Sears with them while they got tires and I browsed their tool department...well I saw their tool boxes in various sizes and then I saw a pink one... yup, they had a pink tool storage chest. I don’t know if they still carry them, but if anyone was interested they could check. I never thought about them for crafting. Of course I wasn’t into it so much then either. Thanks for all the ideas. 👍🏻🥰
Great ideas. I purchased a big upright tool box by US General Pro from Harbor Freight last year during the sidewalk sale. Got a great deal on it. I looked for a long time to find the one for me. I wanted alot of shallow drawers & it is on wheels. I LOVE it. TFS.
One of my favorite pieces is an old drop-lid desk I bought at a flea market. It was HIDEOUS. At first. I repainted it off-white and "built" custom storage out of white photo boxes from Michael's. They are complete with sliding pull=outs, little drawers and tilt-out cubbies. Everything is made of cardstock, chipboard and pretty paper. I used to have a Hoosier cabinet but I moved and had to give it away. It was the Swiss Army Knife of crafting storage. I LOVE your videos!!!!!
OMG!! I've always wanted a hoosier cabinet!!! The first one I ever saw was while I was visiting in Mississippi. It was dirt cheap - and I thought, oh.... 'I'll just get one closer to home'. NOPE! I've never seen one as nice - or anywhere NEAR as cheap. Oh well. I'd love to see what you did with your desk! Thank you so much for watching. :)
Speaking of toolboxes (genious idea by the way!), you can also get those units with lots of small drawers for sorting screws and nails and wires - they are great for metal embellishments, jewellery stuff and other small objects. These units come in lots of different sizes and can also hang on the wall; I have a medium one that I can easily pick up and carry, but it still has 30 drawers! You can also pull the drawers out like boxes and take just the ones you need to your table. These drawers are narrow, but still so long that you can also use them to store pens and markers. I got a cheap one in an ugly plastic casing, and used some contact paper with woodgrain texture to "upgrade" it. Works a charm!
Thanks Norinne, great video!!! Always looking for storage ideas , my apartment is tiny, and my crafting keeps growing !!! Have a great weekend sweetie 🤗🥰🤩
Oh Norene, thank you once again for helping me get started! Circumstances have mandated that I must do something with all my craft clutter. But I don’t know where to start! But you made me realize I can do this and some how I now know where I’m going to start! Just wanted you to know that your videos DO make a difference in people’s (my) lives! Thank You so much. If ever I can help you with something, I would consider it an honor. : }. PS sorry if I misspelled your name.
With feedback like that.... you can spell my name any way you'd like. xoxoxo I am so happy I'm able to help. Hope your circumstances are a good thing - please let me know if you get stuck. 💙
thanks to ones that shared their ideas, they were great!! I've thought of a tool box, but can't bring one thru the house into the bedroom. lol I took over my oldest son's room for a sewing room. took out the bunkbed,put in 3 large 4 shelf shelving units. my husband made me a long sewing table that for at end of shelving, the width of room. I still have my son's dresser and chest of drawers/changing table in there. on top of that I have a 9 hole cube that has material in it on it, next to it. in front of it (wow). my problem is . I did alot of sewing, quilting, designing quilt blocks of the month for class where I worked and taught.i have ALOT of material. but now I have gotten into paper/vinyl crafting,card making. I said I WOULD NEVER GET INTO..surprise!! I got the cricut maker mainly to cut out my shapes for the embroidery Christmas ornaments I make,but I can't get the file to convert it from emb to cut.soo I got into cricut.... now I need to clean out the room ...and reorganize..ive been organizing with containers for the cricut things.. but no where to really put it IN IT'S PLACE yet. and I have to use my machine on my other kitchen table. yes I have 2 kitchen tables. great for holidays, but. and right now I'm kinda my hands are tied cause my husband had curodid artery surgery,then open heart surgery a week later. been 3 weeks for open heart, I NEED TO CRAFT, SEE SOMETHING...lol but been thinking what to do with my room. I would like to put shelving up on wall on the side of the window and bring around to other wall ,window. in corner. I love in a log home, so don't think my husband would really want alot of holes in logs. like the ideas of command hooks. would they stick to logs? I have used them on shelving unit I have. they are great. well I better stop before this becomes a book. thanks for your time. great ideas. thank you..
Yikes! Hope your husband is on the mend!!! I'll have to research if the command sticks will work on logs..... You can send me pics, if you'd like. I can see if I have any suggestions. :D
@@TheCraftyOrganizer yes he is getting better every day 6-8 weeks for breast bone to completely heal.. if I sent you pics,don't want you to have a heart attack.. I only have a path th get in. how sad.maybe if I get brave enough.. thank you, will keep it In mind. perhaps after I kinda pick some up. :( :) hope the hooks will work on logs. thanks again. Will have you on my mind. well you have been since the first video I watched.. ty
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Thank you for your kind words. it would be nice if we lived near each other. it's hard for me to part with things is a big thing I have, unless I get really mad, I'll throw it away or get rid of it and regrets it later. THANKS FOR always replying to me. don't want to be a PAIN. lol you are kinda giving me courage to do it..lol I have a cellar my husband wants to getba dumpster. think we would of if all with him didnt happen.. sentimental things down there.. oh boy!! have a good nite.
Some great ideas! I’m going to use a small kitchen island I found on amazon that will sit against my kitchen wall with pretty baskets. I’ll do crafts at my table. I live in a tiny apartment. I never eat at my kitchen table. I really think that some of the handyman tool boxes could be used really effectively. Thanks so much for this video.
When my daughter moved back home with her daughter I lost my craft space. I had to move everything upstairs to our rooms (open concept). I pushed our dressers together on one wall and headed to Home Depot. Back in the "do it yourself closet organizer" section, we picked up a cube floor to ceiling shelf unit, a hanging cabinet, a couple of drawer banks and a plain melamine plank. We used them to organize a craft area for me in one corner and it works well.....not in the closet :) For extra layout space, a table from Costco that folds up and tucks into 2 inches of space next to my dressing table. It ain't decorative but it's made me smile for 14 years.
New to your channel! Oh my goodness do I need this channel!!!! My stuff is everywhere. Just when I think I have it organized I find more stuff. Sales and ADD means disorganized for me. I’ll be watching a learning so I can improve! Thank you 😊
Fabulous ideas!! I’m so thankful to have my own craft room now!! I’m using shelving on a wall for my craft books, magazines and larger storage units. When it’s all set up, I’ll try to remember to send you a picture! 💜
Just came across your channel. Thank you for all the wonderful tips. I have a small 10 x 10 room that I use but it's so cluttered and overwhelming. It also works as a guest room with a twin bed. In turn I've over taken our dining table for crafting. I'll be tackling that room asap.
Love your ideas. Tufs. I have a variety of ways to organize. I did not do my craft room in totally the white cabinetry that the craft stores sell, bc this is a hobby for me, n I was not going to craft n sell. The craft room of mine works great for me. I love the idea of a suitcase that you showed. Again i sure thank u for all the info in your vid. Take care.
You should see my craft nook, I’m in a sample bay window.. I’m redoing this weekend. I have plenty of hight but I’m handicap and only 4’6” . I’m watching you and it’s really getting me thinking. Thank you!
The idea of the tool drawers is fantastic! I must say I always admire the shelves that are behind you in your videos. I have looked all over but cannot find shelves that are deep enough. Any suggestions?
Mine are 12 " How deep do you need them?? There is a TH-camr, Anna White, who makes AMAZING DIY furniture using just plane wood and 2x4's.... most designs are pretty easy to follow. Here is a link to her DIY bookcase. Maybe you can make them deeper for your needs?? www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/ikea-lack-inspired-bookcase
I took two of the cheap Walmart bookcase and put one against the wall and put the other one in front. The one in front does not have the backer board on it. Now they are deep enough to hold my 12x12 paper collections and albums.
When I was with my ex, the place he worked would buy new, hollow-core doors, and fasten a pair of 2-drawer file cabinets--one under each end--for the salespeoples' desks. Raw doors to not have any holes or hardware already, so it's a plain slab. Paint or stain to suit, and far cheaper than actual office desks from office supply or furniture stores! While the center of the door is hollow, there is a frame around the edges to hold the veneer, so it's easy to fasten the cabinets securely underneath. I have a downsizing issue; my art studio is about 700 sq. ft; but it's a mess because I have too much going on, and not room for everything I want to do, despite the fact that it was purpose-designed to be my craft area! Problem is, I'm a dabbler; I don't just like one craft. I'll do jewelry for a while, get bored, move on to painting ceramics, get bored, try some needlepoint or woodworking, get bored, etc....you get the idea. I need variety! YET--since I'm looking to go full-time nomad in an RV where I'll have less than 500 sq. ft. TOTAL LIVING SPACE...and with my MIL and 8 cats...you can only guess at my challenge... LOL at you "needing help with your storage area." 'Twas ever thus, hence the saying, "The cobbler's children go barefoot!" :D Love your tips!
I can't afford pegboard. Do you think if I glue 2 foam core boards together, then drill my own holes, that it would work? I've never used foam core, but you use it a lot, so I'm thinking about using it for several things.
I need some advice for all the couch cushions. We have them that match our couches but aren’t using them and using others instead. Those take up so much space! Hate to get rid of them in case we get rid of the couches I want to send the matching cushions. Help!
Get them in a vacuum bag! Use a 40% off from Bed Bath and Beyond or go to WalMart.... You can put 6-8 couch pillows into one bag! They will shrink down flat!!! Then they are dust and bug free when you open the bag! This link is from Target, but you can buy them anywhere. This is the size I use most often. Great for blankets and comforters too!!!! www.target.com/p/ziploc-jumbo-size-big-bags-3ct-xxl/-/A-12970286?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google&fndsrc=tmnv&DFA=1&CPNG=PLA_DVM%2B0060H00000moYMFQA2-SCJ-2019-Ziploc-2H+Search-Flight&adgroup=PLA_Ziploc&LID=700000001393753pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9031089&gclid=Cj0KCQjws7TqBRDgARIsAAHLHP5tJpw7DP19SLkqPlxl8_p3VGrrnUIQ8JAZoog283j2GpLPOkyKR88aAkQLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Hi I live in a large 2 bedroom flat, i have been thinking where can i put my craftroom. I just don't know where to put it, any suggestions would be very much appreciated thank you
I live in a one bdrm apartment where the only space I have is infant of a ceiling to floor window & it only allows me 3' width of space...can u suggest anything?
I recently moved and have a garage that I'm going to use for my craftroom. My question is, how do you keep the dust out? Since its a garage there seems to be more places for dust to come in. I really love it but everytime I leave my craftroom I feel like I need a shower.🥴 any ideas?
I have that issue too.... sadly. I dust - alot! I hope to get an air purifier to help... but haven't taken the budget plunge yet. If I do and it works, I'll let you know!
If I wanted how would I send pictures of my crafting station in my two bedroom one and a half bathroom apartment. My crafting station is in my master bedroom I have two workbenches one of them is in between a entertainment wall unit the other ones beside my bed by the window I have a real way to a box with a lot of my craft supplies in and I have a big Craftsman metal cabinet that can store almost all my big items. I was wondering how would I go by send you photos of my crafting station and crafting areas in my master bedroom? Please leave me a message when you receive my message please. Thank you very much in advance.
i am adhd to but im a jumbled mess im trying to get organized but all i get is jumbled clean if that makes any sense like i have some organization but its all over the pace like i like this but i like that too and they dont go and they are all jumbled together and its driving me nuts how do i stop being so all over the place ughhhhhhhhhhhh
oh then when i do find just one style i can never get it to fit my space nicely its just never nice i dont know im just all over and its driving me nuts

great ..this video well timed for me to see. I needed to know how and what to do with a tiny space thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
love your ideas, my budget is so strict that its hard for me to get everything I NEED to store stuff.
I converted my corner computer desk to my crafting center. It has worked out very well for me

Back in the "do it yourself closet organizer" section, we picked up a cube floor to ceiling shelf unit, a hanging cabinet, a couple of drawer banks and a plain melamine plank. We used them to organize a craft area for me in one corner and it works well.....not in the closet :) For extra layout space, a table from Costco that folds up and tucks into 2 inches of space next to my dressing table. It ain't decorative but it's made me smile for 14 years.
You smiling is all that matters! Ok, and that you've gotten to craft all this time too 😆 Great job! 😘
New to your channel! Oh my goodness do I need this channel!!!! My stuff is everywhere. Just when I think I have it organized I find more stuff. Sales and ADD means disorganized for me. I’ll be watching a learning so I can improve! Thank you 😊
Welcome!!! Let me know if you need any specific help :)
Thank you!
Fabulous ideas!! I’m so thankful to have my own craft room now!! I’m using shelving on a wall for my craft books, magazines and larger storage units. When it’s all set up, I’ll try to remember to send you a picture! 💜
I'd love that!!!!
Super inspirational!
Loved all of these ideas! Your craft area is beautiful!
Thank you 💘
Just came across your channel. Thank you for all the wonderful tips. I have a small 10 x 10 room that I use but it's so cluttered and overwhelming. It also works as a guest room with a twin bed. In turn I've over taken our dining table for crafting. I'll be tackling that room asap.
Love your ideas. Tufs. I have a variety of ways to organize. I did not do my craft room in totally the white cabinetry that the craft stores sell, bc this is a hobby for me, n I was not going to craft n sell. The craft room of mine works great for me.
I love the idea of a suitcase that you showed. Again i sure thank u for all the info in your vid. Take care.
Great ideas as usual. love your videos. I always get something I can use out of them. Thanks so much.
Thank you for watching!!
Great ideas. I have a super small craft room that's in desperate need of an uplift! New sub by the way. Glad I found you. 🤗
Welcome, Tracy!!!! Let me know how I can help :)
You should see my craft nook, I’m in a sample bay window.. I’m redoing this weekend. I have plenty of hight but I’m handicap and only 4’6” . I’m watching you and it’s really getting me thinking. Thank you!
You are so welcome!!!! I'm cheering for you and here for suggestions, if you need them!!!
I changed my closest into a movie and reading place and my go to places when I need to fell safe and my plushies can live in
What a great idea!!!!!! I love that!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer now I just need to find a spot to put my DVDs
The idea of the tool drawers is fantastic! I must say I always admire the shelves that are behind you in your videos. I have looked all over but cannot find shelves that are deep enough. Any suggestions?
Mine are 12 " How deep do you need them?? There is a TH-camr, Anna White, who makes AMAZING DIY furniture using just plane wood and 2x4's.... most designs are pretty easy to follow. Here is a link to her DIY bookcase. Maybe you can make them deeper for your needs?? www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/ikea-lack-inspired-bookcase
I took two of the cheap Walmart bookcase and put one against the wall and put the other one in front. The one in front does not have the backer board on it. Now they are deep enough to hold my 12x12 paper collections and albums.
Can you please tell me where you get your little glass jars that you put your knickknack stuff in? And what size they are. Thank you
Of course! I got them from Ikea:

Thank you I love your videos❤️
When I was with my ex, the place he worked would buy new, hollow-core doors, and fasten a pair of 2-drawer file cabinets--one under each end--for the salespeoples' desks. Raw doors to not have any holes or hardware already, so it's a plain slab. Paint or stain to suit, and far cheaper than actual office desks from office supply or furniture stores! While the center of the door is hollow, there is a frame around the edges to hold the veneer, so it's easy to fasten the cabinets securely underneath.
I have a downsizing issue; my art studio is about 700 sq. ft; but it's a mess because I have too much going on, and not room for everything I want to do, despite the fact that it was purpose-designed to be my craft area! Problem is, I'm a dabbler; I don't just like one craft. I'll do jewelry for a while, get bored, move on to painting ceramics, get bored, try some needlepoint or woodworking, get bored, etc....you get the idea. I need variety! YET--since I'm looking to go full-time nomad in an RV where I'll have less than 500 sq. ft. TOTAL LIVING SPACE...and with my MIL and 8 cats...you can only guess at my challenge...
LOL at you "needing help with your storage area." 'Twas ever thus, hence the saying, "The cobbler's children go barefoot!" :D Love your tips!
:)
I can't afford pegboard. Do you think if I glue 2 foam core boards together, then drill my own holes, that it would work? I've never used foam core, but you use it a lot, so I'm thinking about using it for several things.
I don't think foam board would be strong enough. I am working on a video with some options for you... but it will be a few weeks. Hold on, Bonny!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer thank you, Norrine!! You're so great. 💞
I need some advice for all the couch cushions. We have them that match our couches but aren’t using them and using others instead. Those take up so much space! Hate to get rid of them in case we get rid of the couches I want to send the matching cushions. Help!
Get them in a vacuum bag! Use a 40% off from Bed Bath and Beyond or go to WalMart.... You can put 6-8 couch pillows into one bag! They will shrink down flat!!! Then they are dust and bug free when you open the bag! This link is from Target, but you can buy them anywhere. This is the size I use most often. Great for blankets and comforters too!!!! www.target.com/p/ziploc-jumbo-size-big-bags-3ct-xxl/-/A-12970286?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google&fndsrc=tmnv&DFA=1&CPNG=PLA_DVM%2B0060H00000moYMFQA2-SCJ-2019-Ziploc-2H+Search-Flight&adgroup=PLA_Ziploc&LID=700000001393753pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9031089&gclid=Cj0KCQjws7TqBRDgARIsAAHLHP5tJpw7DP19SLkqPlxl8_p3VGrrnUIQ8JAZoog283j2GpLPOkyKR88aAkQLEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Hi I live in a large 2 bedroom flat, i have been thinking where can i put my craftroom. I just don't know where to put it, any suggestions would be very much appreciated thank you
You can send me pics of your flat.... I'll see if I have any suggestions. CallClutterFairy@gmail.com
I live in a one bdrm apartment where the only space I have is infant of a ceiling to floor window & it only allows me 3' width of space...can u suggest anything?
I recently moved and have a garage that I'm going to use for my craftroom. My question is, how do you keep the dust out? Since its a garage there seems to be more places for dust to come in. I really love it but everytime I leave my craftroom I feel like I need a shower.🥴 any ideas?
I have that issue too.... sadly. I dust - alot! I hope to get an air purifier to help... but haven't taken the budget plunge yet. If I do and it works, I'll let you know!
If I wanted how would I send pictures of my crafting station in my two bedroom one and a half bathroom apartment.
My crafting station is in my master bedroom I have two workbenches one of them is in between a entertainment wall unit the other ones beside my bed by the window I have a real way to a box with a lot of my craft supplies in and I have a big Craftsman metal cabinet that can store almost all my big items.
I was wondering how would I go by send you photos of my crafting station and crafting areas in my master bedroom?
Please leave me a message when you receive my message please.
Thank you very much in advance.
