If you are a creative person, you have an abundance of art and craft supplies so that you can make what you want when the inspiration strikes.It can be hard to stay organized with so many supplies.Finding creative storage solutions for your supplies can help you see what you have and can even be an inspiration for making new things.
Step 1: There is a display of ribbon, thread, and decorative tapes.
If you do your crafting in an office, a garage, basement, or even a closet, you should hang a pegboard there.A spool of thread, special tape, ribbon, wire, or other supplies can be hung from each peg.Being able to see all the different colors will make your display stand out.You can get small baskets, hooks, shelves, and containers that are made to be hung from the pegboards to make your board more versatile.
Step 2: paintbrushes can be hung from a picture frame.
Remove the glass from the picture frame.Take a few small hooks and place them along the underside of the frame.The paintbrush should be hung from the hooks in the frame.The method only works with paintbrushes with a hole in the handle.You can store your brushes in a jar or tin.You could put a piece of corkboard in the frame instead of the glass.Hang your paintbrushes with pushpins or nails.You should display your paintbrush holder like a piece of art.It will be easy to grab the tool you need.
Step 3: You can keep supplies visible and easy to access by storing them in jars.
This is a fun way to display things like pens, pencils, paintbrushes, markers, crayons, scissors, pushpins, stamps, glue sticks, and other supplies.The jars can be kept on your desk, on a shelf, or on the floor against the wall.You can use recycled aluminum cans to store writing instruments, paintbrushes, and other crafting supplies by covering them with decorative tape or colorful paper.Small jars could be used to store small supplies.If you don't use the lids to the jars, put them somewhere safe so that you can access them if you ever need to.
Step 4: There are short pieces of pipe on the wall.
If you position each piece of pipe so that the opening is horizontal to the ground, your supplies will rest neatly inside.Put a nail into the wall for each pipe.You can arrange the pieces in a honeycomb pattern, or a straight line.If you stack your paints inside, you can easily find the color you need when you are working on a project.These pipes can be used to store markers, yarn, and other supplies.Depending on the type of supply you are going to use, you can cut each piece of pipe to the length you need.A piece of pipe should hold most paints.
Step 5: You can display your supplies above a desk with shallow shelving.
It can be hard to see what you have to work with if you misplace supplies.Line the shelves with jars, paints, small canvases, stamps, sponges, and other materials.These shelves can be installed anywhere if you don't have enough space above a desk.They add a cool visual element to any room.
Step 6: It is easy to see what you have available if you organize fabric in a filing cabinet.
It can be difficult to keep track of what you have.Wrap fabric around wire hanging files to make it easier to browse.Place those files in the filing cabinet.Pull the drawer open to view your options when you are ready to create.If you use a lot of fabric, invest in a tall filing cabinet that has several drawers dedicated to storage.If you organize your fabric by color, it will be easier to find the right shade.
Step 7: There are colorful boxes that you can use to store your supplies.
The same size and style of boxes can be purchased in the same color or in multiple colors.This makes it easy to stack the boxes.Keep your craft area clean by using boxes of different sizes and shapes.For a more upscale look, you could use boxes made of wood or coated cardboard.It is easy to find what you are looking for if you label each box with its contents.
Step 8: There is an elegant storage solution for small supplies.
This is a great way to organize your materials.You can buy a new cabinet at one of the antique and vintage stores.Keeping them organized, fill each drawer with supplies.There are places for a small label on the cabinets.Since you can't see what's inside, consider using a small piece of decorative tape or masking tape to label each one.Smaller items will fit inside the drawers, which is why this works best.
Step 9: A mirrored medicine cabinet can be used to hide supplies.
These types of cabinets can be used for more than just the bathroom.Hang one in your office or crafting room to add a cool decorative element, and use it to store paints, jars filled with supplies, or other materials.Behind doors are where most mirrored medicine cabinets are found.It could be a good way to check out your outfit before you leave the room.
Step 10: You can transform a closet into an art storage station.
Take a look at your closet space at home to see if there is a way to consolidate your art supplies into a single closet.You could install shelving on the inside, hang a pegboard from the back of the door, add totes, and implement lots of other storage solutions.It will be great to see all your supplies in one place when you open the closet door.If the containers are not opaque, you can easily find what you need.
Step 11: Storage space can be found on the back of a door.
The back of a bedroom, an office door, or a closet door is prime organization space.You can fill each compartment with your various supplies by hanging the organizers from the door.You should try to keep your supplies separate.If you keep your markers in one compartment and your paintbrushes in another, you won't have to mix them.A door shoe organizer is a great option for storing yarn.You will be able to easily see what colors you have available and it will save tons of space that would normally be taken up by these bulky supplies.
Step 12: A magnetic strip is needed to hold magnetic containers.
The magnetic strip can be placed on a wall, under a shelf or on the back of a door.Attach small magnetic jars, bins, or containers to the strip to keep your surface areas clear of debris.There are magnetic jars that can be used for art supplies.If you have enough space, you could hang a magnetic sheet from the wall to hold your supplies instead of a strip.
Step 13: There are shallow shelves behind the door that can be used to store paints, thread, or other supplies.
When there is a lack of space, the space behind a door can be a great storage solution.Make sure the shelves are shallow enough that you can open the door without being knocked against them.Floating shelves look less crowded than traditional shelving.You can either buy shelves or make them yourself.
Step 14: You can use a ladder shelf to hold containers.
You can either build or buy a ladder shelf.You can easily access your supplies by filling the shelves with boxes, jars and other containers.Going vertical with your storage will use up less space and make your room look less cluttered than a horizontal storage solution would.
Step 15: Stacking containers keep supplies neat while saving space.
You won't have to take out multiple boxes to access whatever you need if you use plastic containers with drawers.You can stack your containers underneath a desk, in a closet, or on shelves.You can easily see what is in each container if you label it outside.If you need to change labels, use decorative tape and a marker.You can buy different sized containers.Many systems have multiple-size options that allow each container to stack on the others.You may want a larger container for bulkier supplies and a smaller one for things like paper or fabric.
