Repurposed Organization For Your Craft Room


glass jars of supplies

I still have the organizing bug.  I've even passed up garage sales {gasp} the last few weekends because I feel overcrowded at home.  I feel like I have too many unfinished projects & too many things I "plan" to use...so, I need to a little organizing.   Notice I didn't say spring cleaning... I do have plans & uses for those items :)

Bonne Maman vintage craft storage by saganaga.

I guess that is just how my creativity works.  I continually clean my studio / craft room....then destroy it during the creative process...picture ribbons and vintage buttons flying as I madly create...then, I clean it.

I like to start with a clean slate...hard to be inspired by my goodies if I can't see them!

Take a look at these fun & in expensive ways to organize your treasures using things from around your house:

Can anyone say "IKEA"?!
Not sure these are actually from Ikea, but you could probably pick up something very similar from your cabinet (or Ikea)...too cute!

Too hot to bake?  Use your baking rack to store stationary.  Use clothespins to clip artwork, notes...oh the possibilities...

pencil buckets and hanging cards

I don't have a cricket machine or any of the fancy gadgets, but what  a great way to store & organize all those pieces!

A wall louver...
yep,  you heard me...

It looks like it was made to store stamps!  I would, of course, paint it, but it is cute none the less.

Last, but not least...a mug tree
