Here are over 20 great ways to organize craft supplies. These come in handy for cleaning up your craft room or studio. Lots of budget friendly options!My crafting area is a disaster right now. Since I’m living in a loft, I don’t have a “room,” but I do have an area . . . and I know many of you do have craft rooms. And all of us could probably use some organization.

The fact is, when you have craft supplies, you typically have a lot of them. And that means there’s a lot to keep corralled. It’s January (National Organization Month), so I’m going to focus on getting my craft area cleaned up and sorted.

If you want to organize craft supplies or your craft room this month too, I think these 21 ideas are going to help you. Just scroll down to see them – and I’m curious to know which method of organizing craft supplies is your favorite!
