Craft Organization

I use to have an organized craft room but when my adorable little Ry entered the picture that craft room quickly became his cute little nursery. I had years of craft supplies and fabric piled into one room. So when I transitioned the craft room into a nursery I had the task of figuring out how to organize a bunch of crafts in little to no space. This is seriously what it looked like for about 4 months:

Pretty awesome huh.  See those sweet bags. Anytime I would do a craft project I would load all the supplies needed {collecting them from the other bags} then go downstairs to do the project. After the project was done that bag would then get shoved where ever it would fit. I do have to marvel at my ability to stack all those bags up. Last week, I was done. Sometimes it would take me longer to find the craft supplies I needed for the project than the actual project itself!!! So I spent the weekend organizing. Here is what I ended up with:

Now everything is in plastic bins instead of bags. I wrapped my fabric around comic book boards. I also rolled up all my scrap fabric. I should of done this 4 months ago.

So it’s not my ideal craft organizational area but it will work for now! My dream is to have a small space downstairs where all my supplies can live. It’s hard to plan because we are moving soon and I might have a space of my own again or I might not.  I’ve also been garage sale hunting for a cabinet that I can repurpose. I also, of course, have been hunting around on Pinterest. Here are some of the ideas for small craft spaces that I love. I have the links listed on my Pinterest “For the Home” board.
