craft studio: getting organised pt4.
All month we have had fabulous studios and crafty nooks and craft room features – I have been getting some fabulous ideas. Its obvious that one of the main resolutions for crafty folk is to reorganise, de-clutter, simplify or just get some more space in which to craft craft and craft.
Now that you have cleaned up and redecorated and organised its time to get down to business – you need to find a spot for everything and keep it that way. Here is some fabulous inspiration to get you started:
Pegboard wall : assorted jars : vintage tins : peg board for yarn : another well organised pegboard : recycled cardboard for storing ribbons : baskets for fabric : lazy susan for pens and art supplies : bowls stacked with fabric scraps : plastic containers for yarn :
Set up some organisation systems – you will need rubbish bins, recycle boxes, filing drawers and organiser containers.
You don’t need to buy anything new – make use of ziplock bags or empty jars, vintage tins or plastic containers to store all your threads, ribbons and bits and pieces.
You may need to invest in some simple filing folders or manila envelopes to store your patterns and notes.
Keep your fabrics or papers or yarn in containers on shelves, in drawers or in plastic containers that you can easily wheel in and out. Label everything!
Consider using a toolbox or other compartmentalised box to keep your tools safe or hang them up using a peg board.

I spend 7 days and 7 nights reorganizing my quilt studio back in January. I’m happy to say I’m still organized. I never want to get in the big mess again.
