How to Organize Your Seattle Craft Room
If you love to do crafts as a hobby or a side job or simply love making things with the kids, you probably have a lot of supplies stashed here and there. Crafts, including sewing notions and whatnot, tend to scatter. It can make a relatively clean space look cluttered with no effort at all. This New Year, make it your resolution to tidy up your craft space with some of these organizational tips. You can find what you need at Greenwood Hardware to make your life a little easier and crafting a lot more fun.
Screw Drawer Cabinets
These are not just for nuts and bolts! You can use them to hold buttons, stickers, Perler beads, needles and so on. Use labels to make it easy to find exactly what you want. You will love how much space you can save in your craft space with a single drawer.
Dowels
If you like to use a Cricut with vinyl rolls or paper on rolls, dowels will be your friend. You can glue the dowels vertically to a board to place your various rolls or attach them to a wall to roll out what you need. Small dowels can be used to store yarn spools as well.
Peg Board
This is a great tool to use to keep things like scissors, knitting supplies, spools of thread and ribbon spools. You can have some fun and paint the board if you want it to blend in with your craft space décor.
Over the Door Shoe Holder
Okay, you probably won’t find these at the hardware store, but they are an excellent way to save space and keep your craft supplies organized. Use paint or a sharpie to label each pocket to make sure everything goes back where it belongs.
PVC Pipe Holders
Grab a piece of 4-inch PVC pipe and cut it into various lengths to create a holder for pens, scissors, knitting needles and all of your other crafting supplies. This is an inexpensive way to create holders to place on a desk or shelf that you can personalize with a little paint.
