Two in One Day!?!

Must be like winning the lottery!! And no, I didn't win Mega Millions.  


Today's second post is going to be about some of the organization techniques I have used to try and control my craft crap (as my husband calls it).  We don't have the space in our current house for a craft room, although it has been promised to me in our next house, so I've tried to be creative in some of the ways I keep my stuff. Only two ideas today, hopefully I can pick up more tips to store my stuff from my creatively, crafty readers.


The first idea that I like is using a shoe organizer to store paint and other materials on the back of the closet door.

Looks like Bella's tail made an appearance!

Close up on the paint in the pouches.  

I've tried to separate my paints by color family.  I also keep my glues and stamps in here as well.


The second organizational idea is for ribbon.  I've made a few ribbon wreaths and I use ribbon in a lot of projects.  So how do you store all of those rolls?  My solution was a multilevel pants hanger from Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

It has it's flaws, but keeps my ribbon hung up and neat.

I noticed that if your ribbon roll is larger, they don't necessarily fit on every tier of this particular pants hanger.  It fits the need for now, but we'll see if I can't find or come up with another way to store all of my ribbon rolls.


Since I'm already planning my new craft room, even though we're not planning on moving any time soon, what are some of your favorite craft materials storage ideas?
