Tips and Tricks to Getting my Craft Desk Organized

Staying organized is key to a creative space.  If you cannot find the item you need to use, then it can make your creative process super hard and fluster your process.  So organization is key!!  Today I tackled my drawer on my desk - it is the junk drawer and the one that I spend way to much time hunting for things inside it.

Check out my video to see how I organized not only my drawer, but a second unit on my desk as well!!

So this is what my drawer looked like before I got after it.  It really became the catchall for all the crap on my desk, when cleaning of the surface it was the catch for all kinds of things.  So the first job was to clean out the items that did not belong, and to even purge the things that needed to be trashed.

Now it is time for my Deflecto caddy storage tray to help keep all my little bits from rolling all around the drawer, it really did the trick!  I had a second 2 drawer system from Deflecto that I had cleaned out and purged to it came to the rescue!! 

the top drawer has all my bits for my camera that I need, but do not use all the time, like the strap and extra batteries.

The bottom drawer has extra electronic items, such as external chargers, extra cables, earphone, and other bits.

With organizing these two spaces, I was able to de-clutter a really large area of my desk and clean up a few different spots and items that really did not have a home.  Not everything has it place!

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!!
