Shop nowFor years my “craft room” was one end of the dining table. These systems made it possible to craft without taking over the whole house.
Store paper flat and vertical
Use magazine files or a vertical file sorter so you can see every color at a glance, and so paper never bends.
Use a rolling cart
A three-tier rolling cart holds your most-used supplies and tucks into a closet when company comes.
Keep a “grab-and-go” kit
A pouch with scissors, glue, a pencil, a ruler and a mini glue gun means you can start a project in seconds.
Go up the walls
Pegboard is a crafter’s best friend. Hang tools, ribbon spools and small baskets where you can see them.
Protect your work surface
A large self-healing cutting mat turns any table into a craft station and protects it from blades and glue.
Organize by activity (paper crafts, sewing, painting) rather than by item type. You’ll find things faster.
