5 Tips to Organize Your Crafts

August 20, 2020 By: Katie13 Comments

Clean up your craft space by following these 5 simple tips to organize your crafts. From ink pads to sequins to framelits. Keep it organized.

Crafting in a mess never works for me.

In fact, I have to clean up one project before I can even start another.

Today Katie has asked that I share 5 of my simple tips on how to organize your crafts.

Let’s jump in.

1} Reducing package sizes helps to create more space. When I get thinlets or framelits I like to take them out of their original packaging and putting them in the plastic sleeves below from Avery Elle, placed on a magnet.

You can get these magnets at Lowe’s or your local hardware store, they are actually vent covers.

2} I have a love affair with label makers. Shhhh don’t tell my husband. I LABEL everything. This takes a little time at the start, however it saves you a lot of time in the long run. With everything neatly labeled you don’t spend time searching for that one marker, that you know you bought, 10 years ago.

3} Sequins are messy. They stick to everything and they come in all different size and shape packages. In order to streamline the storage of all my sequins, I bought this bead organizer from Walmart. My friend Katina originally came up with this idea, so I can’t take full credit.

4} These are the perfect size jars for storing all the little doodads and whatnots that a crafter loves. The perk is, the jars smell really yummy. You can purchase the jar candles at Walmart, enjoy burning them. When they are almost gone you can put them in the oven at about 200 degrees and melt the remaining wax, once you do that pour the wax out and wash the jar. TADA! Great jar to use for storage.

5} One of my favorite organizers is the mini closet maid organizers. They are hard to find now. I purchased mine at Target several years ago. But I did find them here on Fleet Farm. These organizers sit on top of my crafting counter.

    There is a brand of jelly that comes in clear glass jars that look like canning jars, with handles. They make great containers and are clean sided so they sit together tight. You just grab the handle when you see the embellishment you want. With young kids and a cat I don’t burn candles but their containers can be very attractive and each one unique.

    Hi Wendy!

    I love all of your craft storage tips! You do a much better job cleaning up that I do! I swear I suffer from project ADD. My brain is always swirling with ideas for different projects and I have to force myself to finish the project I’m working on before I can start another one!

    I hope to see you there!

    This is so smart! I have a REALLY hard time organizing my craft supplies in a way that I can easily find it. I recently pitched a bunch of it just because I felt overwhelmed by having too much and didn’t think that I’d need it. As I rebuild my stores I will keep these tips in mind!
