Inexpensive yet inspired craft organization for spring

Inexpensive yet inspired craft organization for spring

For many crafters, your crafting space is often limited, in some cases just a closet or a folding table in an already-purposed room.  Since your craft space is your inspiration, it is imperative that your space be organized so that you can easily find your treasures.  Inspiration and organization can be brought together using items from around your home.  No need to purchase expensive organizers, you can make your own using the following suggestions.

Jars and Vases

Try displaying your colored pencils in an old mason jar on your desk or table. An unused vase can hold paintbrushes or pens.

Reuse

Your beads, brads, and other small embellishments can be stored in upcycled makeup containers, spice jars, or medicine bottles. Tins are great for holding everything from buttons, snaps, needles and safety pins. Have a spare shoe box?–wrap it and store your stickers, tags and other scrapbooking supplies.

Totes

Use totes with a zipper to organize and store knitting projects and keep unwanted pets out of your prized project.

Get Creative

A flatware caddy can hold your scissors for easy access. Gift boxes are both decorative and practical for storing glue guns, hole punches, stamps, and ink pads. Paper, photo boxes, baskets and other larger items fit perfectly into shoe cubbies. Baskets are both useful and decorative. Try storing buttons, shells, or stamps in these.

Craft organizer boxes can serve a variety of purposes from storing beads, embroidery threads, small embellishments, wire, sewing supplies and more. You will want to make sure that if you wish to store loose beads and you wish to travel with this organizer, that you get a container specific for this purpose–if not, your carefully classified beads may become jumbled on your next trip away from home.
