Three of us are in a 2BR apartment. I have a small bookcase with a bunch of plastic shoeboxes. One box for paper crafting, one for beading, one for sewing,paints,etc. These are basically tools. Top shelf in my closet are skeins of yarn, fabrics, and l2x12 scrapbook paper, and ribbon, again in plastic boxes. Tina, Al's wife
Good for you Tina! Making space for the priorities! 😀 Crafting is my happy place and you need supplies to be happy. 💕 Thanks so much for sharing your organization ideas!
"Use what you have". Boy, I wish I had heard that advice years ago. Can't tell you how much product died before I even thought about using it. Even had some very expensive things just disappear completely (full jars became empty - not a trace left!). What on earth was I saving it for? My new craft room will have more things on display so that I will remember to use them. Thanks for the video! 😊
I did it too Beth! I thought I was "saving" things for a better project and then it went poof! I know USE all the things and enjoy the process. 🩷 Thanks so much for crafting with me and Merry Christmas!
A cart is an awesome idea. I have the one from ikea, raskog. I have used every side of it! I zip tied a black cookie sheet to right side of it and looped hoops through the grates to hang my paints. I use magnetic hoops on the left side. I use the hang on plastic baskets for the front and back. Love it! Best tip to give!
Thank you for such an inspiring video! And for the truths no one usually talks about: - sun bleaching out colours - time ruining the supplies you don't use in time So, thank you 💖 Also, your smile is so lovely ☺️
❤❤❤I just got a super small craft room so this is great! I make wreaths, DIY crafts, and paint. I have a ton of Ribbon and Deco Mesh and need to see what I have available so I don't lose it and think I don't have a particular color, so go buy more! Any suggestions!?!?
Hey Deanna! I have so been there. I've been crafting for 20 years and I started at the kitchen table so supplies were literally just squished in bags. It was terrible and I absolutely bought more than I needed. 😳 One of the things that really helped me with my ribbon were those clear stackable plastic boxes so that I could see everything, or if you want a cleaner look, white stackable boxes (like 5" thick) but organized by color so you can just pop the lid. Caution though, if you get them at craft stores they can get a bit pricey, so I would stalk Dollar Tree, Walmart and similar stores. OR, wait until you have a coupon. 🩷 Thank you so much for crafting and organizing with me! Have a lovely day!
My mom used to have a small white one that we crafted at all the time. And the kids loved it because they could pull up stools. 💕 Thanks for organizing with me Tracey!
It's such a problem! 🤣 My mom will do it with fabric too. She'll "save" a specific pattern for something better. But there is no better time than to use those craft supplies before they ... expire. 😀 Thanks so much for crafting with me!
Thanks so much for organizing with me Lisa! 💕 The carts are super handy and the wheels make it so much easier. Almost everything I have is on wheels, either purchased that way or I bought casters from the hardware store and drilled them in! 😂
Hey Debbie! Vinyl in stores isn't there very long (and before that it's in boxes and in storage after printing) and it's typically not in direct sunlight. That said, some of it does fade if it stays on the shelves too long in the florescent lights. I've purchased it before not realizing until I got it home and then had to return it. If you notice many of the brands have now gone to boxes instead of cello wrapping, including Cricut, because they were loosing product. All of the new materials are in boxes. My craft room has two large windows so I personally just don't risk it and I thought I would share in case others didn't realize. 💕 As for the commercial vibe, it is and it's not. These are truly 9 ORGANIZATION TIPS that I use in my own studio. Is there a product placement, yes. 😀 Making videos isn't a cheap process and it is very time consuming. I love it, but I also need to feed the family. 🤣 Thanks so much for crafting with me and I hope you'll join me for my card making series if you're into paper crafting! ruclips.net/video/9i2-hemJqSc/видео.htmlsi=CT9bt3GnwNI2CqnH
I ONLY use furniture on wheels in my art space[s]. Carts, dressers, tables, whatever - must have wheels/casters. But not your cart. I prefer a cart of ALL drawers, with places to hang hooks and stuff. Your cart has too many different areas/functions. This video would have been better if you showed examples of your ideas.

Many great tips and suggestions! I agree…use what you have purchased! Don’t hoard them! This is something I am working on! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! I held on too long. 😂 Thanks so much for watching Kim! Happy organizing! 💕

Love your ideas for storage! Yes, use all the edges. 💕 Thanks so much for sharing and happy crafting!

So, thank you 💖

Thanks so much for the sweet note and for crafting with me! 🩷
I have this cart and I love it. It is amazing how much it holds. I have recommended it to several friends.
Thanks so much for stopping in to organize with me and glad to hear you're loving this little cart too! Happy crafting! 💕
Lol yeah I had that issue with those alen wrenches I actually went out & bought me a set that had super long ones
That’s a great idea Laura! 😂❤️
I recently put some items together and that kept happening to me as well with that little tool. It made me nuts
Totally understand! 🤣 Happy organizing!

Hi, I have a kitchen island cart with 2 draws and a cupboard, it's perfect to keep things dust free and the right hight if I want to stand and craft
My mom used to have a small white one that we crafted at all the time. And the kids loved it because they could pull up stools. 💕 Thanks for organizing with me Tracey!
Love it!! And it’s so funny you
say that, I have the same problem. I hoard my craft supplies and
I’m
Like scared to use it and run out!

Thank you 😊 great tips and great organizing things to invest in ❤ stay blessed love 🥰
Thanks so much for organizing with me Johany! 💕 You too!
Thank you for all of the great tips! I hope to get a cart like that someday soon!

@@KimByers Great idea to add them!
I found my cart at a yard sale for $10. Also found Ikea cups to hang on it at Goodwill. Was happy not to have to put it together. 🙂
Seems like a sales commercial. How do the stores vinyl not fade while on display ? Love your other videos!

Need more clear and vertical storage. Thank you! For your video!!
Thanks so much for crafting with me Donna! Happy New Year! 🩷
Who does your eyebrows?😍
🤣 Thanks for crafting with me Dina!
Best video so far on crafting supply organization! This has helped me tremendously! Thanks❤
Oh thanks so much Kathy! Appreciate your sweet words and for you hanging out with me. 🩷
To cover the vinyl from light damage put a pretty cloth cover over it - or - on the cheap side - not as pretty - a black plastic trash bag.
That's a great idea Shelley! I love pretty fabric!

Thanks for crafting with me Lulu and I too love drawers, mostly to hide things to keep my space looking tidy. 🩷
