There are so many storage options on the market but not all of them work for my particular situation. So, I thought I would put a bunch of the options I have used in the past and some that are new to me to the test. Which will work best? Which will I use in my Cricut craft room?

Slap bracelets. This woman is a certified genius. I literally yelled that out loud as I watched it. 🤣
HA HA HA! I just laughed out loud!
Thank you so much for your recommendations! What a game changer! I had been searching for a while on how to store my vinyls and I’m so happy I ran across your video! And the slap bracelets are brilliant.😊
YAY! Happy to help!
🙈 I'm going to stop purchasing items until I finish watching your WHOLE collection of utube .. Twice now I've purchased an item then seen one of your videos and said to myself dang it that's more appropriate then the silly thing I've bought 🤣
Angie I'm asking for a miracle now but plz plz cover everything pump those videos out 😂
I am trying I swear!! HA HA HA!
I can always count on you to give us honest, detailed opinions on the Cricut products I buy! Thanks for yet another informative video!
Glad it was helpful!
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 as someone who is allergic to rubber bands, can I say a HUGE THANK YOU for the slap bracelet idea... I felt stupid for not thinking of that myself, but they were never a thing for us... thank YOU!
Yay! Happy to help!
You really did a lot of research. So much information for us with a lot of options for us to choose from. Thank for always bringing us great videos!
Love this video as I have been looking for a solution! Thanks Angie!
Great info. Thanks for sharing Angie! I can always look to your channel for options when I need something I need for my crafting options. 😍
You are so welcome!
Another great video! I got the WRMK paper trays finally on a black friday sale at a great price from Amazon! I already have the punch tray holder that sits on top so these will be great for holding card stock or vinyl between my printer and cutters. :) my craft space is coming together nicely allbeit slowly but worth the wait when saving money and getting what works best. Happy crafting!
I bought the slap bracelets. I am using them for my vinyl rolls and also my rolls of wrapping paper. Great idea! Thanks, Angie.
VERY Cool idea using the Slap Bracelets...THANKS!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing this information! I've been searching for ways to hold my vinyl.
Angie you are so smart! Obviously you thought about this long and hard, and came out with the best solution. I found a holder like yours on AliExpress, will have to wait a bit before it arrives, but for now I have very little rolls. thank you!
Another great video. Thank you. You are so thorough with your videos. Love the slap bracelet idea!
Thank you so much!
Love this video, new to the cricut world. I am always looking to see how people store items. Looking forward to more great content. Thanks again Angie. 😁
Thanks so much!
You are AWESOME! Found my storage needs.
100% agree, the double sided door hanger is fantastic for storing vinyl! Thank you for the video xx
Thanks for watching!
I was hunting for a video for organization and your video was a total gem. It gave me a good look at exactly what would not work and why, because you tried it yourself! Having a good look at your choices helped me locate an awesome organization rack from Amazon I’ll be surprising my mom with for Christmas, complete with all her cricut accessories in a new home! Thank you so much! 🎉
Yay! Happy to help!
Thanks again Angie. I've bee using an older shoe bag I've had for years got rid of shoes and put my vinyl in it. Double sided and can fit several rolls ,new or opened in each pocket. Been looking for more and finally ordered 3 more. Haven't opened yet. I can hang mine flat on wall. Have a log home, wall are all pine, so I have a ledge along top that hooks hook into. Thanks for Sharing. Great ideas and appreciate your ideas and suggestions.
Great video. You've given me some great ideas and options for vinyl storage that will work for my craft area. Ive just placed an order for some of these items. Thanks!
Yay!
Great ideas! Love the shirt too!
Thank you. I don’t have a craft room so I’m constantly reorganizing when I outgrow my previous setup. I am now using 12x12 scrapbook paper plastic organizers from Michaels for my rolls. Unfortunately I have 4 or 5 now. Plus 3 small bins for my joy materials. I may get some of the We R Memory Keepers shelves because I have a large box thing with shelves for my sheets. These look more compact.
All great examples, I bought a used Ikea metal basket the one with a pull out drawers. Works perfect for me, hold all sizes.
Thanks for sharing Angie.
That's a great idea!
I like the double sided one you have chosen for your door. I don’t have as much vinyl as you, but I’m working on it. Lol. It should work great,
I also have stackable trays. I put scraps into those along with 12x12 so they stay organized by type.
And that last door organizer is genius. Hello Amazon.
Thank you for all that information. I went with the last hanger, love it!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
Thanks for the information. I have tried similar options to some of yours but the one I like best is the slap bracelets. Someone mentioned them a year or more ago and I thought it was brilliant. All of my open rolls now have bracelets. I keep them in drawers in my cricut cart separated by type. Smart product boxes are stacked and sitting on the cart shelf, color end facing out. I made a wall unit using plastic chain the wooden dowels that works and looks good but it’s a little clumsy so eventually that will be going. Your video has given me some ideas. I’m more likely to craft my own storage solutions than buy them ready made. Organizing is almost as much fun as crafting. 💖
Great ideas! Thanks for watching!
you can also buy Christmas wrapping paper storage bags which come in clear. as the rolls attract pet hair and dust, its best to have open rolls covered. hope this helps.
Great tip!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I have so much vinyl it’s crazy
Me too obviously. This video is after I gave about 1/2 of it away.
love it thanks!!!
Thank you Angie! Very helpful!
You are so welcome!
Great video with great solutions! The slap bracelet idea is genius! Thank you!
Happy to help!
Happy to help!
Great video! I love to use slap wraps for my vinyl, as well as stabilizer (for embroidery) and gift wrap. I have them in assorted bright colors. Did not know they came in plain white. I like things to be uniform, so would have preferred all one color. I did just order that last hanging organizer, that you preferred. Also, I agree with your opinion on the Ikea storage with the holes. I hated it. Thanks much for taking the time to make this very informative video!
Thanks for watching!
Omg !! I am in the process of designing a vinyl roll storage system similar to the one that "works" for you but with bigger spaces so we don't have to fuss and waste so much time tightening the rolls!! And it can be hung in a closet .. mostly to suit my needs and space but thanks for this video!! 😃 now I know I'm on the right track 😉 and I just bought my clear vinyl 2 nights ago to make it!! 😀
Go for it!
Angie I’ve been getting your emails for a long time and they are great! Just discovered your channel and am now subscribed. Thank you for this video very helpful!
Welcome!
Great informative video, thank you. I like your videos.
Glad you like them!
I bought 4 of those Ikea trash bag dispenser things when I started crafting last year, but the more vinyl I get the sloppier it looks. I will take your recommendation and buy the vinyl organizer you found. I was able to find less expensive valentine's slap bracelets on amazon for the partial rolls. Thank you so much for your thorough investigation as always.
Yay! Happy to help!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you sharing. I have it in cardboard box and every where I have a space the door hanger one will work for me
Thank you! I’ve been looking to store my vinyl/htv so that I can see what i have.
Glad I could help!
I use the last holder on the door and I love it! for the sheets I use a high closed container for my flat vinyl because I put all the left over pieces in that as well and it stacks on top of my cube holder bookcase. Thank you for showing us other options.
Awesome!
So helpful.
Glad you think so!
I have some old plastic drawer units that I used to store stuff for soaping supplies(what I did before switchings to paper crafting) and separate vinyl into categories.
I have a mainstays over the door shoe organizer. It holds 36 shoes or something. It's metal and mesh. They also have one that is similar that has wheels.
It works pretty okay right now for my vinyl. I can lay them sideways, or have them sitting over. Lots of people on some tumbler groups use them to hold their spray paint and I thought hmmm this may work. :-)
I am definitely going to look into the square grey one for smart vinyl and my cricut joy vinyl. Right now they are on my Vesken cart; the one that's 9.99 and has wheels. I put it right near my desk when I'm using my cricut so my mat doesn't droop. :-)
I found an old antique file cabinet. 20 drawers/10 on each side. The left side is for permanent vinyl and the right side is for HTV vinyl. The drawer's depth is what I wanted the most. 24 in. deep. I can fit the long rolls or almost 12 rolls per drawer. My studio's colors are black and gold. So, I thought of painting it all gold. and then black crackle paint on top of the gold. One of my favorite things for my studio.
That sounds amazing!
Hi Angie…
I started using a 12”x12” binder with 12”x12” page protectors. I put 2 colors per page. This way I can keep my scraps and pages together. As for rolls I have them standing up on my shelf.
Great idea!
Cool slap bracelets I need get me some, but yeah I used to have some.
For my vinyl storage I have those ikea bag holders and I used my the front holes for scaps lol and mine looks like that. I now have a door hanger one so far thet work way better
Love your ideas! I already have the stackable trays so that will work great for me! I'd love to try the over the door one that you use BUT I recently bought a house with my daughter and my craft room is in the garage. I don't think it would work because of dust etcetera when the door is open. :( For my vinyl scraps I use a small file box with hanging folders and keep scraps by color which works well for me. Thanks so much for all you share with us!
Great ideas ty
Thanks for watching!
I ordered the last one for 48 rolls.. it works amazing! Holds so much vinyl!!
Wonderful!
@@AngieHolden where did you get the 48 roll over door storage that you use please
Monica, how is your experience so far with the 48 rolls organizer?
@@alihaider-gm1cu it’s still works perfectly for my craft room! :)
Isn't it difficult to use backside pockets? Should I buy one double-sided vinyl holder or buy 2 single-sided holders?
So hard to find the 12x12 holders that are flat!! Thank you so much!
I've been using an organizer from Totally Tiffany for my vinyl, they are like magazine holders but made to fit vinyl they fit in my Ikea kallax unit I don't have as much vinyl as you do but theses have been great they come with and envelope type thing to put small pieces in.
OH those sound amazing!
I too have the over the door shoe bag. I ended up putting it on my wall!
Also using the ArtBins and a modular mobile tower for sheets.
Still working on my room. I've only had my Cricut since 2017! I also have the Maker 3 but it's still in its box.
Thanks for the info. Wish I could send my pictures.
Awesome!
great ideals
Thank you! 😊
@@AngieHolden you are welcome honey
I use an over the door purse organizer for my rolls and artbin containers for my sheets but I really like your ideas too! with the sheets, are you worried at all about dust/debris/sunlight affecting those "open" containers? that's why I went with the artbin boxes. I have one for HTV and one for adhesive and I separate my types/brands with labeled pieces of cardboard. Also for my scraps, I have an artbin box for each (adhesive, htv and even one for transfer tapes scraps). Love your videos, you're an awesome teacher!
Dust and debris will be fine as they are pretty tight. I think I am more worried about the age of some of the vinyl I had shoved in that drawer. I am hopeful that if I can FIND it I will use it and not have to worry about any of it.
I store all my vinyl scraps inside the rolls. That way they don’t get lost and I know exactly what type of vinyl it is and I don’t need extra storage containers or space.
Great idea!
Nice information
Thanks!
I have the shoe organizer and it works great to store the rolls but the door definitely has trouble closing but I did put it on my pantry door so it’s not a huge deal for me
Love this video. What Ikea drawer storage did you use? I think I need that for my craft room?
Pretty sure it is the Alex.
I bought some of the scrapbook containers to see how it works out. Just have to find where to put them
Dollar tree sells plastic envelopes that work well for scraps. I found them with the stationery.
I have way too many for those! HA!
Thank you for sharing. Michael 's has an overview the door organizer, shoe organizer, it's very large and holds alot of vinyl, the problem i have with it is some days when I open the door opens the vinyl falls out, it doesn't seem to be either smart materials unopened rolls or rolls opened they all seem to slide out.
The one I went with, I don't have that issue. The other versions I showed I could definitely see that happen.
July 2024 - you did good. Both hanging over the door are no longer available on Amazon
This is an older video at this point and I cannot control stocking issues.
Just a couple weeks ago I bought 6 of the double hanging holder that you settled on! I printed labels that stick easily to the plastics slots so my hav, permanent and temporary vinyls are all separate.
Great idea!
How is your experience with double hanging holders so far?
Loving them. Wish they held a little larger roll though.
wouldn't it be difficult to use backside holes? should I buy double-sided one or buy two single-sided roll holders?
Working well for me. You do have to flip the holder around to see the rolls on the back side, but I hang them in a closet so they are easy to get to.
I like the vertical storage... But I've only seen it in mint metal at the stores and I don't like that. I love the acrylic you're using.
Honestly, I should probably cut my rolls into 12" sheets anyway because my scan n cut mat doesn't want to hold them as they're curled. Maybe one day they'll make a great mat!
I would like vertical storage too if I had doors to store them on. I think I might start cutting mine down to 12" sheets as well.
also, be careful with those over the door organizers, they can damage and scratch your doors. My darling husband put some screws in the side of one of my shelving units to use to hang the grommets of the OTD organizer on so it hangs there instead of on the door. just a thought...
I actually had an organizer on this door for YEARS with other craft supplies. So any scratches are already there!
What a great video! I had an IKEA bag storage unit, and it works great for this! Thanks for the tips! Question: how do you tell what kind of material it is if you have misplaced the outer wrap? I have some black vinyl that could be just vinyl or could be window cling - can you tell from the backing?
I would peel back the corner and see if it is sticky. Window cling isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
For scraps, i bought large plastic zip to "envelopes" from the dollar store. I have 4 and sort by color groups. Unfortunately a full 12" sheet doesn't quite fit.
thanks so much. Question, I am new to cricut still learning what would be the right roll size to buy for vinyl if you don't want to run out of a certain color right ASAP?
That just depends on your space and budget. There are really large rolls if you want them!
Awesome. Have you ever used the CRICUT premium brushed vinyl and the party foil? I noticed Joanna has vinyl on sale
The premium brush vinyl is fine and if you like that look it can be amazing. The party foil is HORRIBLE to work with. Just don't get it.
@@AngieHolden Thank you. You must get up early I noticed the time it is 7:50 here in Michigan. Please keep doing your tutorial videos I am learning so much thank you again ♥️
Hello,
Great video!
Can you please help me out with the various heating temp. entries & timeer for the Laser 1 opaque, Sublimation paper, & Vinyl?
By the way my 5-in-1 heat press has 250 as the maximum temp.
Try this: ruclips.net/video/fkvDvRqgAko/видео.html
Where do you buy the over the door vinyl organizer you showed at the end of your video? Thank you!
I linked to all of them in the description below this video.
Angie , I have a Brother Tank printer and the light heat transfers have a green shade basically all over. Is the ink that the Brother used the problem?
I am totally not sure. Sorry!
Too funny - the one you love is the one I hate! It was so heavy it bent the brackets (which also were really tight on my door... I actually wore away a part of the frame from the brackets)... it bent the brackets to much it fell right off my door!!! :-(
HA! I have had it up now for a long time and still love it!
What is the name of the hanging one that you decided on. That would work for me as I have a Lot

Hello you are so so helpful brillant teacher i really need to ask for advice about engraving but more embossing what cake maker are using now.for fondant
Do you know what machine use this? As need to be deeper engraving ?
Thank you any advice would be grateful xxx
I am pretty sure it is a glowforge that is used for that.
@@AngieHolden is there no way a cricut can do that ? Or does it only go deep as thin line on top of.arylic? Like ive seen you make x
It will not be deep enough for embossing.
@@AngieHolden thank you xx
Thank you Angie. This was so helpful. I ordered the slap braclets and the Over The Door Vinyl Roll Holder . Now I can see all of my vinyl and they are very organized. I added labels on the slap braclets so I know what the type and color name of the vinyl.
Glad it was helpful!
will you recommend a double-sided over the door vinyl roll holder? how is your experience with it?
I feel pretty silly asking this because I don’t typically have issues like this but I cannot find any links to the products you show in the video. In particular the slap bracelets and that final organizer that’s double sided you decided on I think would work well for me too. Please help!

How did you get the vinyl so flat for the stackable storage system? I struggle to do that without the vinyl bubbling off/creasing
Those are either flat sheets or some were rolls I cut off. I find some brands are okay flat and others are not.
Where did you buy it at please let me know patty’s in Westminster md

Thank you for the comparisons!! Does anyone cut their rolls into 12 x 12 sheets to store?
I don't but maybe I should.
If I have scrap pieces that are a little over 12 inches long, I cut them with a paper trimmer and throw the excess in the scrap bin.

Angie can you upgrade you camera so we can get 1080p 60 so we can see your ideas better.
It doesn't have anything to do with my camera. It has to do with my internet connection which I can't do anything about no matter how much money I spend.
Where do you buy most of your vinyl?
I use primarily Cricut, Oracal, and Siser with a few other brands mixed in. Frankly I get most of it online and have it shipped since I live to far from any craft store.
Thank you I appreciate your reply. I am just now getting started with vinyl & sublimation is the route I mainly want to go I think. I have picked up a few pieces of vinyl at a craft store, can’t remember what brand it was….I like you, live in the country… too far out to go to a craft store on a normal basis, like an hour and a half away.
I’m trying to figure out what software would be the best to begin with when trying to make designs to use for sublimation … any suggestions?
I don’t have a circuit but have a scan n cut because it goes with my sewing machine.
I have found that many of your videos are extremely helpful to me … in helping me gain the courage to try to do sublimation. I bought an Epson 4800 & am converting it as soon as my hiipoo ink comes in. You encouraged me to go this route. Thank you
Designs to sell or just to print?
@@AngieHolden both really. 🤷🏼♀️
There’s a small store that carry this & that…I may rent a booth. 🤷🏼♀️

I got a great 5 drawer rolling cart at Michaels for $30. Its stuffed full. I need another one.
