Trash To Treasure

12 Incredibly Clever Craft Room Storage Ideas

A Dozen Easy and Clever Organization & Craft Room Storage Ideas

Once Christmas is over I feel like it’s time to get organizing.  I spend a lot of time in my craft room and it seems like that room often gets changed around repeatedly.  I did notice, however, that I have some incredibly clever craft room storage ideas I have done over the years, narrowing it down to a dozen. These are all upcycling and repurposing ideas I have come up with on my own plus a few tips! Here we go!

Cookie Jar Craft Storage

Shown above, found at a thrift store for next t nothing, I use this old cookie jar I stenciled for craft punches.

Repurposed Ribbon Storage with Chicken Wire

This is a recent project I did to organize some ribbon spools I had. The ribbon is so pretty I figured it could not only be useful to my crafts, but also pose at artwork for my craft room.

 

Tip# 1: Check retail store dollar bins.

Upcycled Frame to Craft Paint Storage

Another double duty artwork idea, I hung wire baskets with chicken wire to create a place for all my craft paints. These were from the Dollar Spot at Target.

 

Tip #2: Find thrift store “trash” and turn it into “treasure”.

Repurposed Thrift Store Craft Caddy

This caddy goes with me if I work outside of my craft room. I made it out of a utensil kitchen caddy I found at a thrift store.

Thrift Store Magazine Rack Upcycle

Keeping magazines and craft books handy for inspiration is a must.  I painted this one myself from an old and ugly bamboo rack at Goodwill that just needed a coat of paint.

 

Tip #3: Save sturdy cardboard boxes.

Recycled Duck Tape Storage Boxes

My daughter has a lot of crafts supplies as well.  These storage boxes were made with duct tape and recycled cardboard food boxes.

 

Tip #4: Think outside the box.

Flower Frog Paint Brush Holder

Vintage flower frogs are easy to find at flea markets. At the Long Beach Antique swap meet I ee them at several booths. I use of for paint brushes, markers, and…

Flower Frog Scissor Holder

… scissors!

 

Magnet Storage Containers

I use these little containers all the time.  Just add magnets to small plastic containers like prescription bottles and hang them on a magnetic board. It’s great for small craft and office supplies like jewelry notions, beads, and paper clips.

Repurposed Bed Spring Craft Storage

One of my favorites, when my daughter grew out of her crib, I repurposed her bed spring into craft storage.

 

Rubber Band Organization Board

With a simple plain white canvas and large rubber bands, you can make this inspiration and memo board. I appropriately stenciled this one with “inspire”.

Tip #5: A cart with wheels adds convenience.

Kitchen Cart Turned Sewing Cart

This is a kitchen cart I got at IKEA. It makes the perfect sewing cart with my sewing machine on top and fabric on the bottom.

    Never heard of the flower frog thing. I like this idea and could see using it for makeup brushes. Great ideas!

      Thanks, Kelli! I would see them all the time and had no clue what they were until I finally asked one day.
