Organize your Craft Closet

Create an inspiring, personal setting

The most important thing is to make a craft closet that will let your creative fuels flow. Think about using colors that brighten your day. It doesn’t need to involve painting the walls, picking items with the color you like is sufficient enough. Also, think about how you like to work and how your items should be arranged in the space. Things you would need only once or twice a year can be placed on higher places, while everyday used items should be easy to reach.

Use labeled containers

Boxes, bins and all kinds of containers are great for storing things, while the overall space looks neat. Label everything so you can find whatever you are searching for quickly. Baskets are especially cute for a more rustic look. To give your containers a more personal and unique look, try to reuse containers by beautify them by using scraps of fabric, scrapbook papers or paint. For this you can use any plastic containers, tins, cereal boxes or other suitable items. Make it a habbit to put everything back after you use it. That way the place will not get messy.

Pick containers that are practical

There are a lot of items that can help you for your craft closet organization. Ice cube trays are great for holding small items, and they are cheap, too. Also, drawer units are ideal for storing things you use often. Try to store things that are alike, together, so searching time will be at a minimum.

Use the right container for every item

Use every space available

Closet space is not only on shelves or in drawers. Look to the walls to attach dowel rods to hold ribbons and wrapping papers. Hooks are great for hanging tools or small bins to hold markers and scissors. Also use the back of the doors. Shoe organizers are great for organization. Also wire racks or small peg boards can be of use. Even hanging stuff from the top of the closet can give you some valuable storing space.
