Creative Craft Storage Ideas for Your Home
As we ride out another round of drizzly winter, you may be looking for ways to spruce up around the house. The cabin fever can be strong with spring so close, yet so far! Organizing your home is one way to pass the time and make it a little easier to spend a lot of time indoors. Our folks at Greenwood Hardware have some great ideas for you to organize your craft space with things you find at the store.
Peg Boards
These are perfect for hanging scissors, rulers and a variety of other tools. You can also attach hanging files to the peg board to keep all those little tools at hand. Have fun and trace an outline of each of your scissors on the peg board, so you know right where they go. Fun paper bags can be decorated and hung from hooks on the pegboard as well.
Garbage Cans
Yes, a garbage can is an obvious addition, but a wire or mesh garbage can is the perfect way to keep wrapping paper and rolls of cardboard paper in one place. You can grab a can of spray paint and paint the wire garbage can a fun color to really personalize your space. This makes it easy for you to see exactly what you need while keeping things tidy.
PVC Pipe
Okay, this can go in so many different directions! Grab some 4-inch round PVC pipe. You can cut it with a hacksaw to the size you want or buy individual coupling pieces. You can make pen and pencil holders by adding a piece of cardboard to the bottom. Paint or bedazzle your pen holders as you wish. These are also great for holding paintbrushes. You can grab some glue designed for use with piping. Stack your pipe pieces in any style you want and glue them together at the places they connect. You can create a cool triangle storage unit or any other shape you love—even a star.
Dowel Ribbon Holder
You can make a handy ribbon, thread or yarn holder by gluing wood dowels to a piece of wood. Mount the wood on the wall or have it set up on your desk. Paint each dowel a funky color if you like. You can have as many as you need. The dowels are easily cut with a small saw.
Organizing your craft room will give you a way to express your creativity while getting your supplies all in order. You will feel inspired to start crafting away. Head into Greenwood Hardware to pick up what you need. Come on in, or contact us today.
