Organizing Crafts Ideas | Julie Blanner

Are you tired of living in creative chaos? Let’s organize your crafts and create the space of your dreams!

If your craft room feels more like a cluttered battlefield of glitter explosions, tangled ribbons, and misplaced markers, you’re not alone. Creativity often comes with a bit of chaos, but when the mess starts taking over, it can stifle your inspiration and leave you feeling more stressed than excited to create. That’s where a little organization can work wonders.

My girls love to craft, but I hate a mess. In our house everything has a home. Using simple organization tools means no more digging through bins for that one perfect stamp or searching for scissors buried under layers of felt.

Getting organized doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your creative spirit or spend a fortune on fancy storage solutions. With a few clever tips, affordable purchases and a little time, you can turn your craft room—or even just your crafting corner—into a functional and inspiring workspace. Whether you’re a scrapbooker, a knitter, a painter, or a jack-of-all-crafts, there’s an organizing method that can work for you.

Craft Organization Ideas

When it comes to organizing your craft supplies, the key is to find pieces that are both functional and not a complete eyesore. A well-organized space lends itself to creativity. Start getting your space in order with a dedicated piece of furniture that is strictly for all things crafty. There are so many choices available, you can certainly find an option that fits your space and your budget.

Unique Organizing Craft Ideas

Why buy new when you can breathe new life into something you already have? Repurposing furniture for craft storage is budget-friendly and adds character and charm to your space. With a little creativity, you can turn forgotten furniture into functional and beautiful pieces that keep your crafting essentials organized and within reach.

I turned my heirloom wardrobe into a linen cabinet, but the bountiful drawers are well suited for craft storage. Years ago I repurposed a dresser in our office into a “buffet” that offers ample craft storage including our gift wrap, ribbons, glue guns, cardstocks and so much more!

Repurpose a cabinet! I repurposed wasted space in our living room cabinet and turned it into a Bar Cabinet. Integrate art supply organizers, stackable craft storage or tension rods for ribbons and wrapping paper. The options are endless!
