Crafty Organization

Organization is a gift

I most definitely

do. not. have.

Some people (like my husband) are natural organizers.

Color coding and alphabetizing make sense to them.

Not me.

In my dreams

my craft room looks like this...

nice, neat, and organized.
full of perfectly folded fabric,
hung spools of ribbon
and jars of sorted goodies

But in reality my craft room {area} looks nothing like that.
Not even close.
No yellow chair.
No turquoise cutting counter.
And definitely not so neat and tidy.

So for all of my fellow organizationally challenged friends out there
below are a few clever ideas I recently came across over here.

A bath tote used to hold craft supplies

(love this idea for all the kiddos crayons, markers, glue, etc.)

A canvas shoe organizer hung from a curtain rod.

So clever!

A pill container to hold tiny crafting supplies

(I also use empty baby food jars for this)

An under the shelf wine and stemware rack
turned into functional craft storage

And to keep your unused bobbin thread from unraveling
wrap a tiny pony tail holder around it.
Genius!

What are some organizational tricks you guys use?

P.S. My very first tutorial was on an easy way to organize and store ribbon.
