Craftroom Ideas
16. Repurpose a tiered cake stand as a portable caddy. Cake or treat stands with two or more tiers can make a handy spot to put supplies in frequent rotation. Keep it in the center of your worktable Lazy Susan-style and tuck it on a shelf or the floor when you need more room. Look for one with a raised lip on each tier to prevent your materials from falling off.
14. Stick paintbrushes, knitting needles and pens in open containers. Long, slender items like paintbrushes, colored pencils, markers and crochet hooks stay tidy when plunked into simple glass jars or recycled tins. If you’re a painter, keep your brushes in separate containers sorted by their type: watercolor, acrylic, glue.
13. Organize small items in lidded glass jars. Spice jars, jam jars, apothecary jars and Mason jars make excellent and budget-friendly containers for all manner of small crafting supplies, such as washi tape and buttons. Annoying-to-clean-up items like sequins and beads should always go in lidded containers since an accidental bump can send them flying far and wide.
9. Hang fabric in the closet. Have a smidgen of extra space in the closet? Pants hangers make ideal organizers for fabric — to maximize space, use the type designed to hold multiple articles of clothing. Just stick with sturdier fabrics for hanging; lay delicate materials flat in a drawer or on shelves.
This gift wrapping and crafting haven stows and shows with style and organization in mind. Woven baskets corral larger supplies and materials that don't fit in the small cubbies and drawers; jars contain buttons and other wrapping and crafting accoutrements; and a small space between the wrapping table and storage area means everything is always just an arm's reach away.
This gift wrapping station has layered lighting, from the ceiling and under the cabinets — perfect for late-night wrapping jobs and holiday card writing. The best part of this command central for holiday wrapping is the chalkboard door, which makes writing names for a gift list and crossing them off that much easier.
