Craft Room Tour & Craft Storage Ideas

I have never given a craft room tour of my studio, mostly because I feel like I needed to make it look perfect, but in reality who's crafty space is perfect?  So heck with it, let me show ya the real crafty space I work in, mess and all!!

Here is a video tour of my crafty room and a few fun storage ideas!!!

My craft space is a work on progress, here is my desk with a few extra packages stacked on top - fun happy mail from my card swaps!!

On my desk I store a ton of my crafting tools in various containers.  My current favorite is a set of tins I decorated.  Check out the video.

One my old favorites is a storage container I have had on my desk for the last 2 years that I decorated the outside of a long time ago in one of my first videos.  Just look how much it holds!!!

I loved the storage units I have around the room.  The big one is my Ikea wall unit.  It stores all the drawers, some are built in (the white and black) and some are also removable (the red units).  

I have a few extra storage units above and around my computer desk.  I have some Deflecto storage containers such as the rotating one.  Here it is double stacked from when I first put it together filled with various trims, mesh, burlap and, other fun crafty supplies!

Here is the video on how I put this together!

I have a tilt bin behind my computer monitor that stores some of my extra inks.  Here is a video on how I put it together.

I also have a tilt bin unit above my computer desk for a ton of my trims and ribbons.  It looked super clean and organized when I first put it in.  It is still super functional and completely as organized as it was when I did it over a year ago!

Here is a video on how I organized my ribbons and trims and then also stored them into the tilt bins.

My room is organized for me to find things.  Some things are super organized, some are a cluttered mess, but it works for me!!  I have a small space to work in (10x10) and one whole wall is a window, which I love for the natural light and I get to look outside and see the world and nature around me.  I get to see my kids outside playing, the sunny days, the rain, and even snow on some rare occasions.  I love the saying a messy desk means you have a creative mind, well just take a look at my normal desk!

So there is my crafty room, my oasis for my creative mind, my little section of the house for where I create!!  Now head on over to see some other amazing crafty spaces and craft rooms!!  Angie Holden from The Country Cottage Chic is hosting a week long series of various craft rooms and tour and I am on the list for today!!  Check out the rest of them by clicking HERE or click on the picture below!!

Altered Ikea Tin Craft Storage Hack

I love being able to store my crafty supplies in a easy yet beautiful way.  I craft all the time why not make my crafty supplies look good too?  See how to turned some simple Ikea tins into some really cute crafty storage.

Here is a video on how to make these shabby chic crafty storage tins.

This fun storage idea is also in the Bella Crafts Winter Edition with full step out instructions!!!  It is a free publication, so check it out!!

Did you Know that Xyron Creative Station can ad adhesive to more than just paper, it stuck everything but the flows to this tin!!!

I started off with a couple of cute tins from Ikea, they are nice and small and a perfect fit for small thing like pens and tools on my craft desk.

I added all kinds of fun elements to the tins from iron on letters, burlap, paints, mesh, bling,a nd even some flowers!  To label the tins I used the iron on letters on the burlap rounds.  I could not fit the extra "s" onto the round shape for the tools, so I just left them singular. 

Are you organizing for the new year?

Cute as a Button - Craft Storage Idea

I have a ton of little crafty items that need good ways of being stored, and buttons are one of them.  So I grabbed some empty spice jars, and decorated them up with colored coded tops to match my button colors.  Here are my pink, light blue, and yellow button jars!

Adding a few cute stamps, color coded papers, and painted lids helps make these jars come to life to help store my button.  Watch my video tutorial on how to clean your jars, paint the tips, and a TON of crafty tips on helping you create your own crafty storage.

Using the Pink and Main papers, dies, and stamps make these jars just too cute.  Even more fun to pull out and play with these buttons that have been in my stash for ever!  I just love these ice cream cones, they re just too cute!!!

I painted to tops of the jars to match the colors of the buttons.  Now I only have about 15 more colors to go, but at least this is a start and will make but button hunting easier.  The best way to use your crafty supplies is to make them easy to find.  If they are hidden or not seen, then you never use them!

All the papers are held on to the jars with the amazing Xyron sticker makers.  They turn everything into a stickers, it makes crafting a breeze!!!

Since this is a hop, you know we have to have a little blog hop candy.  Pink and Main and Xyron are each giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to Pink and Main and a Xyron Mega Runner.  Go to Xyron’s Facebook page and like and comment from the pas few days and on any Pink and Main post for a chance to win a prize pack from Xyron and Pink and Main!
