Craft Area Organization

Here is a picture of my craft area organization. The green bookshelf in the midle holds my rubber stamps, then there is the sizzix bookshelf and the trim cabinets and bookshelves. On the bookshelf is my Cricut, and punches.

Hope this gives you some ideas. I know crafters always have lots of toys, oops meant tools, to organize.

Bead, Button and Trim Organization and Storage

Here is a close up of the yellow multi-drawer cabinets that I use to prganize all my little items. I have the buttons in drawers by colors; and try to divide the other items that way when I can.

That way if I need a blue button for a page I can pull out the little drawer with blue buttons in it; dump it out and find the one I like and then with my hand swoop all the others back in the drawer and slip it back into place. Takes a little while to organize at first. Just do it a little at a time while watch old favorite movies or shows that you know so you can listen while you work and still know what is going on.

I Like Sizzix

Here is a picture showing most of my sizzix, they are stored on a bookshelf that is narrow depth because it is sold to store your CDs on.

I have my alphabets like the Lollipop, Fun Serif stored in white plastic drawer containers. Each complete set of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and punctuation fit in one drawer. So I can easily get out the alphabet I want to use and cut and then easily put them away.

The yellow drawer cabinets above hold buttons, beads, laces, trims and all little items like that.
