Hey my friend I missed you. I'm doing g8 after my surgery. I'm walking and doing a few things that I havent in yrs. Like walk the dog make my own bfst or lunch clean out and wash my car. I feel gr8. Therapy is going well and I'll be in heaven when the pool opens up at the YMCA. I miss water fitness.
I've missed you too!!!!! I wondered how you were - That's so great to hear that your surgery went well and you are getting to do things again!!!! Are there any medical water therapy pools you can use in the interim?
Norrine, I have a must share idea😁 I have a very small craft room with a large window that faces the West. So, 1) it takes up nearly one entire wall, and 2) it gets very warm in there in the summer months. So, I thought, why not make indoor shutters from peg boards, adding a frame and paint to give them a finished look. Then I will have more storage right in front of me because the window is above my table, and I can open and close as needed. I am so proud of my self for think of this and had to share. Thank You for the inspiration to think outside the box.😁😊😀🤪
You flew by the kitchen knife display using old books. OMG old cookbooks on a kitchen counter. LOVE it. All the ideas were top notch. Love your channel. I learn so much and I am old. You can teach an old dog a new trick. LOL. Thanks, Noreen.
For my knives, for years I've used a big flowerpot filled with rice. Once or twice a year I dump the old rice and refill with new rice. It's cheap and all my knives fit in it. Rice doesn't hurt the blades either.
I love watching the ideas you come up with, and also the things you find! Thank you so much for what you do! I love organizing, crafts and decorating, but with my severe ADHD I'm so extremely overwhelmed by my house that I can't function to even start somewhere. My brain just overloads and I freeze up. I hate it! When I have help, it's so much easier. I love helping other people, and never seem to get someone to help me.
My favorite upcycle for storage is a little butcher block we found at a garage sale for $20. We sanded the worn top so it looks new. Hubby painted the legs and the bottom portion of the block with a creamy white paint, and I took off the bar that was a handle across the front of the drawer and added glass knobs for pulls. It's the perfect "Cutting Table" and holds my large paper cutter on top, baskets on one side for paper scraps, and the drawer holds extra cutting mats, extra blades for my machines and my envelope maker. I just loved so many of the ideas here! Looking forward to more.
I save Talenti jars for craft room storage. They are really great size for bits and bobs. Cribs also make great blanket ladders, and you can put one on the wall in the laundry room, on hinges, so you can lay sweaters or other delicates to dry , and then fold them flat when not in use.
I love Talenti jars. I use them for small craft bits and sentiments. I stored a string of battery fairy lights in a Talenti jar and use it as a "porch light" when camping with Scouts. My husband uses Talenti jars in his man shed, they are good and sturdy.
I have a folder on Pinterest that is called reduce, reuse, basically cardboard, bottles, glass etc. Love the ironing board ideas! So great stay well, stay safe. Hint I cover small boxes with upholstery fabric I bought when a local store closed down. The boxes are pretty and very useful.
Years ago I converted my son’s changing table to my Cricut cart! Tool & misc in drawer, shelves below store Fab Files of my inventoried vinyl. I’m able to check my inventory list & have the vinyl I need in seconds. I have about 200 rolls!!
I used my old ironing board in my quilting studio. Spray painted it, hung it on the wall and used S hooks to hang up my larger quilting rulers. It works great.
OMG Kitty Litter containers. You do not know how many I threw away. I kept a few lately and have found cheaper clumping litter at Tractor Supply that I pour into them. I noticed it now comes in the same type large container and now maybe I see a locker storage being made. We will see. I absolutely loved this one as I never thought of using a lot of these things. I do however store my markers like the Marvy ones and colored pencils in my empty Crystal light containers. I just love you as watching you has made me look at "stuff" in a new light. Thanks so so much. I find when I need an answer I bring you up on You Tube and search away. This way I get entertained too. Love and hugs
I love the idea of using plastic containers. My husband and I own a food truck so we go through various condiments in plastic containers most are gallon size. Using them for organizing my creating supplies and for my pantry, laundry, the list goes on and on. Love you and your God given talent. Can't wait to see what you do next. Have a blessed day. Pat from Arkansas.
Oh shoot...now I'll be saving even MORE "trash" with the excuse of repurposing it for storage.😄😄 I LOVED the knife holder made from old books. 📚 📚 So cool looking.
So you started showing the ironing board ideas and a light bulb went off. I could use it as a table. I was going to buy one of those folding tables but the iron board would work just as well and it's adjustable. Can't wait to try it this weekend. Most use my ironing board has seen in a long time. 😂😁
My hubby constructed a wooden box with shelves behind a vintage frame to place my essential oils on. It works beautifully and is a nice decor on my bedroom wall.
All these ideas were just right up my thrifty crafty alley. I use the plastic jars nuts come in from Sam's/Costco in the craft room, and also the plastic containers dishwasher pods come in. I've become a packaging hoarder, cutting chipboard boxes into pieces for tags and ephemera or die cuts for cards. How grateful I am to have found your channel tonight.
My mum is really into colouring so for her birthday I made her a pen storage unit using pringles tins. Cut them in half arranged them in a pyramid shape, stuck onto a backboard. I covered each of the tins in paper so she now has a purpose made storage unit for pens with coloured compartments to keep her pens in. I was so pleased with myself thinking I had come up with something original lol oh well
Brilliant ideas people come up with! The medicine cabinet from an old suitcase is really cool! But, I'm most excited about the cat litter container uses...I have 4 kitties and go through litter like crazy!
I too have many kitties 5 now and go through lots of litter. I have found a Clump and Scoop which is good and cheaper at Tractor Supply and now it too comes in those containers both types the large ones and the smaller ones. In case you need something more affordable.
We have loads of kitty litter containers for various items in the garage. They are supper sturdy. I use the Great Value version of Crystal Light containers in the counsel of my SUV. Six fit perfectly to hold various charging cables. No digging through a jumble to get what I needed because I wrote on the lid what's inside each one. I love that idea for the 2 liter pop bottles. They also work great as a yarn dispensers. Just cut a door in the side with the top and bottoms of the doors being just before the curve and about a third the way around. Gosh I wish I could share photos here to show you these. I can't wait to see what you'll be sharing next!
I have so many of the cat litter containers. I've had cats for 20 years and if I do the math...I better not ..lol. I however find that I forget what I put into the containers. I have labeled them but I still tend to forget. There has to be a better idea.for this. Thank you for your videos, I find them as a brief way to escape from what's going on in the world. Take dare and stay healthy💕
MJHinCA If you're saying you have so many that some get buried, could you organize them alphabetically in some scheme? Or group them by color-coded labels? Seems like large labels with bold lettering would be key.
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Im disorganized that's what it is..lol I have so much that I am bordering on being a hoarder. But I will give the visual a try. Thank You`
Loved every one of these tips but my favorite is the ironing board. Because it is always covered and I almost never see it naked. Also storage from cribs since I haven't used a crib in 40 years.
I'm rewatching some of your videos: We went through a knife storage issue a few months ago. The idea here is so darn cute! My husband didn't think it would be very sanitary, but we did come up with a solution combining what we already had and moving the knives into a larger drawer (rehoming the contents of that drawer), and adding one additional rack. The drawer the knives were in is now my spice drawer and . . . well, you know how it goes. LOL! But we are both VERY happy with the changes!
Great ideas again. I use boxes of all sorts, cover them with paper. Contact paper wrapping paper even wall paper. I also use the big containers that coconut oil comes in. They are clear and great for storage. The big containers that powdered protein drinks come in. They are not clear but so easy to label. Thanks for all your advice on staying organized.
@@PHamm54 Hi. In my craft room I use the clear containers for my large wood beads. I use the white containers for my laundry soap. I make my own in a powder form. In the work shop the clear containers are great for my husbands assortment of wire nuts, large nails and such. I also use the white ones for planters, by cutting them down. I hope this helps.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Norrine! You saved me from myself! I went shopping today to look for more storage containers but came home empty handed cause I couldn't find what I wanted and then I watched this video. I was putting the 'cart before the horse' because I don't even have a clue what all is in my hoard. I'm off to sort my stash then I will figure out storage container needs.
The ironing board is Genius, I think it would be great to hang painty paper to dry when I use geli plate too. I saved this great tutorial and shared it. I've used old cribs to make benches and large dog beds. Also the old fashioned tables with storage under them make great small dog crates. I'm thrilled to get to recycle it's a win-win in my book and a great way to create a one of a kind family heirloom. 🦋💚🐞💙🐝
Back when detergent boxes were large, they were the perfect size for magazine storage. I still have some. I've seen the idea for punch storage...I wish I had a wall. My storage went UP long ago!! I love your ideas Norrine. Thanks for searching out possibilities on pinterest... I hate going down those rabbit holes!
The rabbit holes are dark and deep sometimes! LOL OR WORSE - lead to new holes! I thought I'd been researching for about an hour the other morning - nope! 3 had flown by!!!!!!
I picked up a used ironing board for a couple dollars & have been using it as a folding table for sorting piles of paper work I've been decluttering. It also makes a great table near the BBQ! So many uses & so much cheaper than buying an actual folding table- new or used!
Years ago I turned mine into a craft cart! I just got rid of it when I moved! My daughter is 38 years old so I know I got my money’s worth & it’s still in the family!!😀
Great video & tips. I used to use cat litter trays for storing my scrapbook paper & card in before I got a bed with drawers. A tip I have is to use ordinary ring binders for scrapbooks/memory books. I used to have to pay a lot of money to have them shipped from the US to the UK & couldn’t afford to do that anymore, so I now buy A4 (UK size) lever arch files that for A4 paper etc. So much cheaper.
I love these ideas. I keep many Mason jars, simple glass, or interesting shaped small glass jars. I cut down and cover cardboard boxes with vinyl shelf paper to store things upright (like wrapping paper). I use shoe boxes for attic storage. For those parents with an IKEA child's table and chairs: I stained my son's table and chairs dark green. The chairs can double as stools or mini display tables, and we use the table as a coffee table. Sturdy cardboard can be cut down and covered with shelf paper and used to line wire shelving.
My favourite type of video! So I have to comment about the old suitcase turned medicine cabinet! The luggage tag was YVR...... my neck of the woods, Vancouver BC Canada!
I once bought a typewriter from a store in Portland Oregon which had a repair label left on it from the city and state where I was born... which was NOT Portland Oregon! I had to buy it just because of that! LOL
I have seen that kitchen knife storage idea before and plan to look for old cookbooks to use. The ones I saw just used regular books. I use Pringle tubes to carry chocolate chip cookies (or any cookie) when traveling. But now I will have to check Pinterest. I save glass jars. Some for kitchen use others for crafting. I have some cat litter containers with flip up lids like you showed and use them for miscellaneous stuff but love the ideas you showed. Thank you for all your inspirational ideas. I look forward to more videos. Thank you. 👍🏻🥰
Awesome lady... I use empty peanut butter, deli clear containers etc for putting in old grease or food to be tossed ....I use round pounce cat treat containers for washi tape. I love the ironing board idea and bed rails... Very cool
Hi I reuse all my glass jars for my beads. I also use baby food jars too. The crayon containers are good to for storage and the small cardboard boxes that hold the crayons in the box make great gift boxes.
Amazing ideas for recycling!! I liked so many , I cannot decide which is my favorite. Great idea for virtual room organization. You could charge by the hour, or half hour, depending on the clients need for assistance. You are creative, I believe folks who really need help would reach out for your assistance. Great video!
My husband made me me a great storage system for my watercolor color paper with an old crib. The paper stands up great with lots of slots! It’s perfect!
I love all of those ideas! As always thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸🌞
Kitty litter and crystal light containers? I buy both of these ALL the time. Although I do recycle, I would much rather upcycle when possible. Another great idea, thank you.
I totally agree! I think it's amazing to use something in a different way instead of throwing it away. Totally against the organizers' code! LOL! But maybe what makes me unique. Thanks for watching and if you do make something out of them, please share to my Call Clutter Fairy Group page on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/
I drink about 10 bottles of water a day. I make jewelry. To hold many of my small components I cut the bottles down to fit my component and I put them in the drawer.
My house is so disorganized with fabric everywhere. Just purchased some foam core board to make shelves for my fabric I am wrapping around comic book boards. Also just found your channel and am binge watching.
The ironing board as a peg board is genius. The changing table , I have used as storage. They are expensive and frankly, I rarely used it for changing diapers. You can also use the metal mattress base of a crib as wall storage with S hooks. I turned an older TV armuar into a craft cabinet with shelves and a pegboard for the back wall. Husband had to reinforce it with 2x4s.
Yes, I've wanted to do something with the heavy duty plastic containers for Tide Pods, Cascade dishwasher pods and coffee containers. I use them in the garage but now thinking about storing crafts.
Sure glad I watched this video...I wish you the best of luck in getting back to regular work days.... You always do your best to be helpful... love that attitude!!!.🧡💛💜♥️❤️🥰
I told you my pics would overwhelm you..plus my E-mail had some issues..Its good now! My favorite is hard but I think the books with the knives..I like that one when were camping..Thanks for all you do!
The clear plastic cat litter containers measure 8.5 x 6 inches. I had over a dozen of the larger yellow but not enough room so I set them out side with a sign saying FREE. They were gone in a couple of days. I've tried using the clear plastic containers but they didn't work for what I wanted them for. I do like the idea of using them for magazine holders.
I’m moving into a different house in May and I’m going to do a craft room in the basement and my 3 top must haves is a peg board, a cork board and a chalkboard. I like see through containers so I use a lot of plastic jugs, pails, drink bottles. And another keeper is cereal boxes and milk containers. There are so many uses for them. Most loved is jars. They are clear, have lids and come in all sizes.
Good ideas, as usual. I bought a changing table back when Goodwill had ,99¢ Sunday. Like new, holds a lot of stuff. Also have nice frames, good idea, can make a lot of pockets and run some ribbons or stretch bands across to hold sisscors brushes, whatever is laying around needing a place to hang out😁tks
All of these are great ideas. I'm saving your videos to my storage file so I can refer back to it, after 4 kids and 7 grandchildren are gone from my home I have a bit of a mess over here im trying to declutter and organize but am finding it not that easy. Thank you for all of your ideas!
Remember glass pop/soda bottles? Back "then", the empty returned bottles were sorted into wooden crates and sent back to the bottling company to be washed and used again. Those old wooden crates work great for storing my punches for card making. Depending on the size of the punch, I can fit 2 or more in each 3 1/2 " square and 4" deep openings of my old Royal Crown Cola crate that has a dozen openings. I've found these crates in off the road antique stores.
Hi, Rosie. Let's see if I can help. Email me pictures of your area (wide-shots of the room/area and close-ups) to CallClutterFairy@gmail.com and I will take a look. 💜
I just found a new rabbit hole: your channel. I needed it today, and after I finish this comment, I will start the 10 day challenge. I have been upcycling & repurposing items for 30+ years, along with trying to incorporate decluttering into my creative lifestyle.. Had I known I could have shown others with a RUclips channel-I would have! Raising and homeschooling 8 kids & being a live-in caregiver for my father-in-law kept me a bit too busy to have handled it, though. The problem now is my vast collection of items and my renewed attempts at de-cluttering now that most of the kids have grown and moved out. Your advice is great; I finally have an unused bedroom available to convert into my creative office/studio space, and now I have more ideas of how to proceed. Thank you! .
One thing I use kitty litter buckets for is storing bird seed. We apparently have lots of VERY hungry birds (& at least 1 or 2 squirrels!), so I get sunflower seed in 40 lb. bags at Tractor Supply. I have 2 pet food dispenser containers (basically like the plastic pour-type cereal containers, but bigger), but obviously, they won't hold nearly that much bird seed. So I use the 35 lb. litter buckets for the remaining seed. I can remove the lid (literally the hardest part), & pour the seed into the bucket. 40 lbs. of seed will fill about 2 litter buckets. And because the opening of the bucket is wide, I don't have to wrangle the bag of seed quite as delicately & precisely. Then I just pop the lids back onto the buckets (and close them tightly, of course), & the seed is safe from any other critters (we have occasionally gotten raccoons & possums around here) getting to it. And it's easier to pour from the buckets into the pet food containers that I use to fill the feeders without spilling seeds all over creation. Thanks for all the great tips. I recently discovered your channel, & love your videos. Take care, & have a fantabulous day! :)
I loved ALL of the ways you shared to use what we already have. They were also pleasing to the eye. I especially loved the crib and ironing board ideas.
So many good ideas I love repurposing things when I was young & newly married you had to be creative to organize things. I plan on watching this video a few times & jotting down ideas I want to try.
Thanks for watching today!!!! I can't wait for you to see project ideas I got from researching today!
Hey my friend I missed you.
I'm doing g8 after my surgery.
I'm walking and doing a few things that I havent in yrs. Like walk the dog make my own bfst or lunch clean out and wash my car. I feel gr8. Therapy is going well and I'll be in heaven when the pool opens up at the YMCA. I miss water fitness.

The drawer the knives were in is now my spice drawer and . . . well, you know how it goes. LOL! But we are both VERY happy with the changes!
I love when those ideas click into place! Well done!
Great ideas again. I use boxes of all sorts, cover them with paper. Contact paper wrapping paper even wall paper. I also use the big containers that coconut oil comes in. They are clear and great for storage. The big containers that powdered protein drinks come in. They are not clear but so easy to label. Thanks for all your advice on staying organized.
Great job, Barbara! Love that you've been making use of storage around you! 🌻🌞💛
Barbara Shipley I have those type containers but not sure what to use them for. Could u give some suggestions, please?
@@PHamm54 Hi. In my craft room I use the clear containers for my large wood beads. I use the white containers for my laundry soap. I make my own in a powder form. In the work shop the clear containers are great for my husbands assortment of wire nuts, large nails and such. I also use the white ones for planters, by cutting them down. I hope this helps.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Norrine! You saved me from myself! I went shopping today to look for more storage containers but came home empty handed cause I couldn't find what I wanted and then I watched this video. I was putting the 'cart before the horse' because I don't even have a clue what all is in my hoard. I'm off to sort my stash then I will figure out storage container needs.
Glad I could help! Just let me know if you get stuck... I'm happy to help. :)
The ironing board is Genius, I think it would be great to hang painty paper to dry when I use geli plate too. I saved this great tutorial and shared it. I've used old cribs to make benches and large dog beds. Also the old fashioned tables with storage under them make great small dog crates. I'm thrilled to get to recycle it's a win-win in my book and a great way to create a one of a kind family heirloom. 🦋💚🐞💙🐝
Genius ideas!!!!!
As soon as you said use the things you already have I hit the subscribe button, So many woman just dont have the $ Thank you ☺💐🌹🌸🌻
Oh, I am a budget girl!!!! LOL Thanks for subbing!
Back when detergent boxes were large, they were the perfect size for magazine storage. I still have some. I've seen the idea for punch storage...I wish I had a wall. My storage went UP long ago!! I love your ideas Norrine. Thanks for searching out possibilities on pinterest... I hate going down those rabbit holes!
The rabbit holes are dark and deep sometimes! LOL OR WORSE - lead to new holes! I thought I'd been researching for about an hour the other morning - nope! 3 had flown by!!!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer oh my yes, it just sucks up time!!
Lots of "favorites," but I snapped a screenshot of the over-the-toilet shelf made from picture frame. I have a spot for that in my new old house.
I love that!!!! If you make it, please share pictures with me!!!!
I wish this video would go on and on. Please post more like this. I loved every idea!
Yay! So glad you liked it. 🌺
cool ideas! i have a bunch of crystal light containers....who knew!? 😊 thank you!
Send me pics when you are done!!!! You can share it to my Call Clutter Fairy Group page on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/
I need the Clutter Fairy to come to my home ! Such good info . The Old suitcase is epic ! Ironing board is so smart !
Thank you!
Ditto! Need help with my Dollar Tree decor items for re-fabricating their products!
I picked up a used ironing board for a couple dollars & have been using it as a folding table for sorting piles of paper work I've been decluttering. It also makes a great table near the BBQ! So many uses & so much cheaper than buying an actual folding table- new or used!
I LOVE the idea of turning a changing table into a potting bench. I'm going to try to find one of those!!!!!
Yay! Go for it!!!!
Me too. I need a potting table and a table to hold my grow bags. I'm gonna start my vegetable garden.
Years ago I turned mine into a craft cart! I just got rid of it when I moved! My daughter is 38 years old so I know I got my money’s worth & it’s still in the family!!😀
🌺🌺Norrine, LOVED this show today! You rock young lady!🌺🌺
Yay, thank you!
Great video & tips.
I used to use cat litter trays for storing my scrapbook paper & card in before I got a bed with drawers.
A tip I have is to use ordinary ring binders for scrapbooks/memory books. I used to have to pay a lot of money to have them shipped from the US to the UK & couldn’t afford to do that anymore, so I now buy A4 (UK size) lever arch files that for A4 paper etc. So much cheaper.
That's a great idea!
I love the ironing board idea!
I love the idea of using the ironing board and cribs. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
I love these ideas. I keep many Mason jars, simple glass, or interesting shaped small glass jars. I cut down and cover cardboard boxes with vinyl shelf paper to store things upright (like wrapping paper). I use shoe boxes for attic storage. For those parents with an IKEA child's table and chairs: I stained my son's table and chairs dark green. The chairs can double as stools or mini display tables, and we use the table as a coffee table. Sturdy cardboard can be cut down and covered with shelf paper and used to line wire shelving.
You are absolutely precious. Your ideas are so helpful. You are so authentic and kind.
Thank you so much!
My favourite type of video! So I have to comment about the old suitcase turned medicine cabinet! The luggage tag was YVR...... my neck of the woods, Vancouver BC Canada!
I once bought a typewriter from a store in Portland Oregon which had a repair label left on it from the city and state where I was born... which was NOT Portland Oregon! I had to buy it just because of that! LOL
I put mulch in the big ones craft supply’s they stack very well I love them
I love the ironing board idea.
I have seen that kitchen knife storage idea before and plan to look for old cookbooks to use. The ones I saw just used regular books. I use Pringle tubes to carry chocolate chip cookies (or any cookie) when traveling. But now I will have to check Pinterest. I save glass jars. Some for kitchen use others for crafting. I have some cat litter containers with flip up lids like you showed and use them for miscellaneous stuff but love the ideas you showed. Thank you for all your inspirational ideas. I look forward to more videos. Thank you. 👍🏻🥰
Sounds like you are ahead in the storage solutions game!!!!! Well done! :)
Awesome lady...
I use empty peanut butter, deli clear containers etc for putting in old grease or food to be tossed ....I use round pounce cat treat containers for washi tape.
I love the ironing board idea and bed rails... Very cool
I love the cat treat container idea! Those are a great size!
Hi I reuse all my glass jars for my beads. I also use baby food jars too. The crayon containers are good to for storage and the small cardboard boxes that hold the crayons in the box make great gift boxes.
Great ideas!! Thanks, Jill!!!
Amazing ideas for recycling!! I liked so many , I cannot decide which is my favorite. Great idea for virtual room organization. You could charge by the hour, or half hour, depending on the clients need for assistance. You are creative, I believe folks who really need help would reach out for your assistance. Great video!
Thank you so much, Alice 😊
Love recycling things to use in my craft room. Hubby and I turned the top of an armoire into a pretty cricut station.
I liked the kitty litter jugs made into magazine or paper holders! We have two cats and I like to recycle whenever possible.
Let me know how it goes!
My husband made me me a great storage system for my watercolor color paper with an old crib. The paper stands up great with lots of slots! It’s perfect!
I want to see!!!!!
Okie dokie! I’ll get it sent !
Great ideas. I love reusing old clear plastic jars. Watching old videos to support your channel today.
That crib shelf would be great for a spice rack!
With bins!!!! So cute! Great idea!
Love the ironing board idea, and the baby furniture ones
I love all of those ideas! As always thank you for sharing your creativity, talent and inspiration! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤🇺🇸🌞
I love the use of the cat litter but I don't have a cat but I do have Cascade containers so I can adapt those into beautiful containers. Tfs always
That's a great idea!
Kitty litter and crystal light containers? I buy both of these ALL the time. Although I do recycle, I would much rather upcycle when possible. Another great idea, thank you.
I totally agree! I think it's amazing to use something in a different way instead of throwing it away. Totally against the organizers' code! LOL! But maybe what makes me unique. Thanks for watching and if you do make something out of them, please share to my Call Clutter Fairy Group page on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/730125317461615/
I drink about 10 bottles of water a day. I make jewelry. To hold many of my small components I cut the bottles down to fit my component and I put them in the drawer.
Smart!
My house is so disorganized with fabric everywhere. Just purchased some foam core board to make shelves for my fabric I am wrapping around comic book boards. Also just found your channel and am binge watching.
I love organizing things!!!! This video gave me ideas on how to add storage for everyday items, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm always years late to the best content. You're a game changer! Thank you!!
I used my daughter's crib to hang my material between sewing projects.
Smart!!!
The ironing board as a peg board is genius. The changing table , I have used as storage. They are expensive and frankly, I rarely used it for changing diapers. You can also use the metal mattress base of a crib as wall storage with S hooks. I turned an older TV armuar into a craft cabinet with shelves and a pegboard for the back wall. Husband had to reinforce it with 2x4s.
I love all of those ideas! Way to go, Nannette!
I love the ironing board and litter container ideas! 💖 Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Crystal light containers are great for holding extra trash bags in the car.
Great idea!!!
Yes, I've wanted to do something with the heavy duty plastic containers for Tide Pods, Cascade dishwasher pods and coffee containers. I use them in the garage but now thinking about storing crafts.
Love ❤️ the baby furniture ideas
Sure glad I watched this video...I wish you the best of luck in getting back to regular work days.... You always do your best to be helpful... love that attitude!!!.🧡💛💜♥️❤️🥰
I hope so too 🌞🌻😘💛
I told you my pics would overwhelm you..plus my E-mail had some issues..Its good now! My favorite is hard but I think the books with the knives..I like that one when were camping..Thanks for all you do!
I've not had a chance to get through all of the emails for the next wave of virtual clients. But I will.... ❤
The clear plastic cat litter containers measure 8.5 x 6 inches. I had over a dozen of the larger yellow but not enough room so I set them out side with a sign saying FREE. They were gone in a couple of days. I've tried using the clear plastic containers but they didn't work for what I wanted them for. I do like the idea of using them for magazine holders.
That is just what I needed to know! Thanks, Julie!!!!
What a bunch of awesome ideas. I especially liked the kitty litter containers, oh dear, another thing to save. Tfs
Right?!?! I'm going to have to find some and see what I can do with them!
Those were all great ideas. A lot of things that can be reused instead of thrown out. Thanks for sharing. I love them.
So true!
Thanks for your great tips! I am so overwhelmed with all my stuff I have at my house in special all the papers!
Your ideas looks very, very helpful!
I've seen where people us the crib sides to hang fabric on. I have that in my head to look for, i'm always looking when I drive by!!
You're awesome! Thanks for being your positive self and sharing great ideas! A Minnesota subscriber. :-)
Thanks for subbing! 😊😘🌻
Lol, took a class to create a worm bin out of the yellow cat litter containers.
I love that!!!!
The ironing board was awesome
I’m moving into a different house in May and I’m going to do a craft room in the basement and my 3 top must haves is a peg board, a cork board and a chalkboard. I like see through containers so I use a lot of plastic jugs, pails, drink bottles. And another keeper is cereal boxes and milk containers. There are so many uses for them. Most loved is jars. They are clear, have lids and come in all sizes.
Good luck with your move!!
Thanks for all these repurposing ideas.
You are so welcome!
Good ideas, as usual. I bought a changing table back when Goodwill had ,99¢ Sunday. Like new, holds a lot of stuff. Also have nice frames, good idea, can make a lot of pockets and run some ribbons or stretch bands across to hold sisscors brushes, whatever is laying around needing a place to hang out😁tks
I miss those 99¢ Sunday sales!!!! We used to have so much fun! But.... not having them anymore has helped with my clutter! LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer oh boy are you right on that. Hard to pass up 99 deals and then (where the heck do I put them, lol,)♥️😁
Thank you so much for sharing All the good ideas in one video.
Karina from denmark
Thanks, ShabbyAntiqueAndBeauty!
All of these are great ideas. I'm saving your videos to my storage file so I can refer back to it, after 4 kids and 7 grandchildren are gone from my home I have a bit of a mess over here im trying to declutter and organize but am finding it not that easy. Thank you for all of your ideas!
Take it a little bit at a time.... 💙
As you were talking about other uses for the ironing board It came to me that those with the open grids could be used to dry paintings.
Huh! I guess it could! Great idea, Cindy!
My 2 gallon kitty litter container ( like a large milk jug) is my spare change catcher.
Nice I'll bet that's heavy when you fill it up!
Remember glass pop/soda bottles? Back "then", the empty returned bottles were sorted into wooden crates and
sent back to the bottling company to be washed and used again. Those old wooden crates
work great for storing my punches for card making. Depending on the size of the punch, I can
fit 2 or more in each 3 1/2 " square and 4" deep openings of my old Royal Crown Cola crate that has a dozen openings.
I've found these crates in off the road antique stores.
That sounds amazing!!!!
Thank you for those fantastic ideas love your videos. I could use some virtual help with my craft room. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks! Rosie
Hi, Rosie. Let's see if I can help. Email me pictures of your area (wide-shots of the room/area and close-ups) to CallClutterFairy@gmail.com and I will take a look. 💜
I loved all your idea’s. Especially the Peg Board ideas! Thank You for sharing your ideas. You’re a Blessing
I just found a new rabbit hole: your channel. I needed it today, and after I finish this comment, I will start the 10 day challenge. I have been upcycling & repurposing items for 30+ years, along with trying to incorporate decluttering into my creative lifestyle.. Had I known I could have shown others with a RUclips channel-I would have! Raising and homeschooling 8 kids & being a live-in caregiver for my father-in-law kept me a bit too busy to have handled it, though. The problem now is my vast collection of items and my renewed attempts at de-cluttering now that most of the kids have grown and moved out. Your advice is great; I finally have an unused bedroom available to convert into my creative office/studio space, and now I have more ideas of how to proceed. Thank you! .
Yay! So happy to have you joining!!!!! And it's never too late to start a channel!!! I'd love to get to see some of your creations. :)
Great video. I love to see things get reused. Thanks !
Glad you enjoyed it
One thing I use kitty litter buckets for is storing bird seed. We apparently have lots of VERY hungry birds (& at least 1 or 2 squirrels!), so I get sunflower seed in 40 lb. bags at Tractor Supply. I have 2 pet food dispenser containers (basically like the plastic pour-type cereal containers, but bigger), but obviously, they won't hold nearly that much bird seed. So I use the 35 lb. litter buckets for the remaining seed. I can remove the lid (literally the hardest part), & pour the seed into the bucket. 40 lbs. of seed will fill about 2 litter buckets. And because the opening of the bucket is wide, I don't have to wrangle the bag of seed quite as delicately & precisely. Then I just pop the lids back onto the buckets (and close them tightly, of course), & the seed is safe from any other critters (we have occasionally gotten raccoons & possums around here) getting to it. And it's easier to pour from the buckets into the pet food containers that I use to fill the feeders without spilling seeds all over creation. Thanks for all the great tips. I recently discovered your channel, & love your videos. Take care, & have a fantabulous day! :)
I love that!!!! I'd love to just sit and watch all of your birds. Thanks for watching!!!!
I loved ALL of the ways you shared to use what we already have. They were also pleasing to the eye. I especially loved the crib and ironing board ideas.
So many good ideas I love repurposing things when I was young & newly married you had to be creative to organize things. I plan on watching this video a few times & jotting down ideas I want to try.
Love that! Thanks, Marie!
