50 Craft Room Organization Ideas

Published Jan 3, 2019 By Diane

Wishing your craft room looked like all the gorgeous ones you see on Pinterest? I was, too, but my crafting supplies seem to have taken over the entire room and may soon encompass my entire house if I do not soon find a solution. Not everyone needs the same craft room organizing solution, since we all have our different DIY specialties. If you sew, then your problem is likely too many spools of thread or fabric scraps or buckets of random sewing notions. If you paint, then you may have piles or paint tubes, brushes, and 50 different shades of reds and blues that need sorting. Or, if you are like me, and you love woodworking, sewing, painting, decoupage, paper crafts and every other type of DIY under the sun, then you need a variety of organizing solutions (to say the least!) Most of these projects are inexpensive, too, and pretty quick to make. Leaves you with more time to craft! Check out these cool craft room organizing solutions to see which ones are right for you, then design the ultimate crafting space for yourself.

Cool Ways To Organize Craft Supplies

1. Scrap Fabric Wall Organizer

Not sure about what to do with that excess fabric laying around the craft room? Here’s an idea from Design Sponge. You can start to sew a Scrap Fabric Wall Organizer made with simple canvas and colored felt to create pockets for some of your many craft supplies. I think I may just have to make one of these. Or more than one – I could see it as a great cat-safe jewelry organizer too.

What a great and colorful idea! Mine are stuffed in away in a box, a waste of all those beautiful colors. But looking at how cool, colorful and organized this tip from Heather J’s Life is, I would probably replicate this one. Now, I can have a much-organized embroidery floss.

A Bobbin Bouquet is another perfect thing to have in your craft room. Just put a few skewers in a shaker jar and add your bobbins. By making a bouquet of bobbins you can set it by your sewing machine and when you need a bobbin you won’t have to go searching for one! I definitely need one of these! My pins seem to end up everywhere.

This Bakers Twine Organizer is seriously adorable! I need something to organize my twine, but I can’t be trusted around power tools! This is going to the top of my to do list. I think that I might use the square dowel back idea with this frame but then add some chicken wire (or something similar) and create some lovely earring storage too.
