Organizing Craft Room

Wanted to share some more organizing ideas for your craft room.

Storing Your Ink Pads


This is an old cassette tape holder I purchased at the handy dandy thrift shop which is PERFECT for your ink pads I tell ya. Store your pads upside down to prolong their inkyness. I try to purchase all my craft organizers in wood so that I could paint them all white later. I don't want my future craft room to be looking tacky like it does now!

Handy Dandy Tools


I love this thing. Which was also picked up from the thrift shop. I was thinking how cool it would be to have a craft tool box for things that I'm always misplacing. Like those darn scissors! I went out thinking it'll be a tough find but was mighty lucky and found this perfect wooden caddy.

Knick Knacks

These are Pringle containers that I wrapped with scrap pages from a children's record album. I'm using these two to store dead batteries and ink cartridges to recycle later. I'm sure there are tons of things to fill these guys up with.

Feel free to comment additional sugguestions!

Green Organization

It's eco-friendly and cheap! Instead of studying for a midterm I decided to organize and label all my craft supplies, materials, etc... Being a college kid, I definitely don't have the money and it's just not practical since I'll be moving soon to purchase permanent organizers.

Cup Containers for markers, pens, crayons, etc...

These were first used for black light beer pong which worked out really well. Now that they have retired they're living their next purpose as organizers. Labeling them just personally makes putting things back a quicker process.

Shoe Boxes as containers to organize certain supplies and materials. Since I have so many different crafts going on, things get lost really easily. It would be easy to pretty them up by just wrapping the boxes in different types of paper but obviously I'm too lazy to do so and am just happy with them as naked boxes.


Record albums as wall organizers for my recycled paper crafts. I blogged about these last time but I actually sorted them this time and labeled them because I just love everything labeled apparently. Again this awesome idea was from paper and stitch


that's all for now!
