Here are 25 great ways to organize craft supplies. These come in handy for cleaning up your craft room or studio. Lots of budget friendly options!
In the whimsical world of crafting, where glitter reigns supreme and beads scatter like stars in the night sky, my crafting corner is currently resembling a scene less magical and more . . . chaotic.
Nestled in my cozy loft, where space is as precious as a rare spool of vintage ribbon, I’ve carved out a nook that serves as my creative oasis. Yet, despite the lack of an official “craft room,” I’ve come to realize that the bond we crafters share transcends the physical dimensions of our creative spaces.
It’s a shared understanding that, regardless of whether we have a sprawling studio or a compact corner, our crafting havens are sacred. But let’s face it, even the most enchanting creative spaces can fall victim to the clutter of our beloved craft supplies.
As crafters, we accumulate an impressive array of supplies – from the tiniest seed beads to rolls of vibrant yarns, each item a testament to our creative aspirations. However, with great creativity comes great…clutter.
Suddenly, our spaces feel less like sanctuaries of imagination and more like a battleground of glitter and glue. But it’s National Organization Month, and I am on a mission to transform my craft nook from a chaotic clutterfest into a haven of harmony and inspiration.
Join me in this quest for organizational bliss, where we’ll explore 25 ingenious ways to tame the chaos of our craft supplies. From innovative storage solutions to clever organizing hacks, prepare to be inspired to create a space that not only sparks joy but also ignites your creative fire.
As you journey through these 25 ideas, I invite you to share your own tales of organizational triumphs and challenges. Which method resonates with you? Which idea sparks a lightbulb moment? Leave me a comment.
Let’s embark on this creative adventure together, and transform our craft spaces into masterpieces of organization and inspiration!

Washi Tape Storage
This brilliant storage keeps all your washi tapes sorted and visible using dowel rods and adhesive hooks. Not only is it storage, but it doubles as wall art!
This no-sew felt roll up is perfect for keeping your pens and pencils together and in color order. Carla also has a link to a crayon roll up in her post.
A sugar shaker works perfectly to dispense baker’s twine or ribbon. There's nothing fancy to it. You can also use these types of containers for glitter and anything else that needs to sprinkle.
Recycle chip canisters into a desk organizer that can hold brushes, pencils, and more. And what a shame – you can eat even more containers of chips to make it even larger, depending on how many things you have to store.
A large pegboard just like Angel’s makes it easy to hang hooks and containers – perfect organization for a craft room. She uses her pegboard for Cricut supplies.
This old drawer is mounted to the wall, making your paints visible and easy to access. You can paint it or just leave it as is depending on the style of your room.
Add candlesticks to tins to make the perfect tiered storage for any loose craft supplies. If you can find the materials in your cabinet or at the thrift store? Even better.
This paint storage looks good. Who knew you could organize craft supplies with PVC pipes? I love that she added washi tape to dress it up a little (you could also spray paint it).
Label your mason jars using chalkboard so that you can see what is in them just by looking at the top. You can use chalkboard paint, but there is also chalkboard vinyl as well.
Keep sharp edges protected and always easy to find when you make this pouch! You can attach this pouch to a shelf or always keep in on your sewing table.

This round-up is awesome Amy! Thanks so much...it could not have come at a better time for me. I just recently got my craft room back after my daughter moved out and I am right in the middle of the nightmare of organizing it all! LOL!
