Craft Organization Ideas You Need To See.
I don’t have a craft room but I am lucky enough to have a dedicated craft area in a room. Which is such a disaster area that I can’t actually use it to craft! I will show you the horrible mess at the end of the post. Right now I’m going to share with you some cute craft organization ideas since I need to bring some order to that space!

Cute Craft Organization Ideas
Most of us dread the idea of organizing rooms that are chaotic like our craft rooms! Don’t worry though, you can easily get it organized and it will be one of your favorite spaces when you are done. It’s so much more enjoyable when your craft room is clean, organized, and you have a workspace that’s ready to go. These tips will help you get started:
- Remove items you don’t need or want. Your life will be much easier if you get rid of those items that you truly know you aren’t going to use. Plus, it’s a great way to get you in the mood for organizing your craft room.
- Place items that are similar together. Ribbons, silk flowers, wreaths, glue, buttons and so on should all be placed together. That way you can easily see what you have. It may take some work in the beginning but you will be thanking yourself later!
- Get or make containers. You will see some ideas shortly to help you decide what you need. Then you’ll need to gather various containers to place all of your items in.
- Put everything in its new place. After you have the room organized the way you want, you won’t dread going in there any longer! It will be a relaxing space that you can get creative and use your imagination.
1. Ribbon Organizer
Here’s a cute way to store and organize all your ribbons! The Cottage Mama shows you how to make these standing spools to hold crafting/scrapbooking ribbon!
2. Baker’s Twine Organizer
This is such a cute idea! Damask Love created this adorable holder for baker’s twine. You can easily make your own with a frame, some dowels, and a few other simple supplies. It will be a gorgeous element to add to your space too.
3. IKEA Hack Idea
Love this idea from Beth @ Unskinny Boppy. I saw these at Ikea when we went in October. I usually go to Ikea every January but we were so busy this time we didn’t make it. I need to better utilize the wall space I have and this is a great idea. I see a trip in February in my future.
4. Cupcake Stand Organizer Idea
This is a great idea for storing all those little pieces of things. It’s a cupcake stand! These are so easy to find – I see them at TJ Maxx all the time. via Allsorts.
5. Lampshade Organizer
How about this embellishment stand. It’s a lampshade! What a great idea for hanging all those stickers and packages. via Creatively Savvy
6. Padded Box Organizer
I do have a lot of colored pens (but not this many). This is a great storage idea using a cut-down ceiling light tile inside a box via Scrap Shotz.
7. Rotating Organizer
I need a place for all my washi tape and this rotating organizer from Harbor Freight is a cute idea. via Reality Daydream.
8. Mason Jar Organizer
Such a creative idea to use mason jars to organize all the small things. Using chalk paint allows you to write what’s in each one too. Check it out at It All Started With Paint.
Here’s my messy craft area – I think there are a few Christmas trinkets on the table still! Hope to show you an “after” photo soon!

Just what I need! Except for the whole house. Haha, girlfriend, my craft area should look as bad as yours, it would be an improvement! I was sewing today and had to stop and fold fabrics so I could find the tools on my table. Of course, we all know creativity is a messy business. I like some of these ideas a lot. I had no idea Harbor Freight had those organizers, I’ll have to go see if I can find one:>)
Manuela says
I didn’t know either! I think it’s pretty easy to find a coupon online for Harbor Freight.
Vee says
I like the wall organizing options. I have no counter space left!
Manuela says
I know! I’m thinking I need to utilize my wall space. I really think I need to put up a peg board or maybe more shelves on the side wall.

I just straightened up all my fabric ~ again, Manuela. I had a bunch of fabrics sitting on top of our dryer, which is outside of my craft/sewing room. I finally just cleaned it all up and get it all back where it belongs. I love that cupcake holder idea! Very clever. I wish I had more surface room to do something like that. I’ve got some scrapbook paper sitting off to the side on one of my tables waiting to be used for a project. I’m very bad at doing that; putting things I intend to use out {and in the way} before I’m actually ready to do the project. It makes it look messier than it needs to be!
Manuela says
LOL! I don’t have much surface either. I either have to totally get rid of some stuff or re-think my storage. If only my husband would his clothes out of the closet that’s in this room. THAT would solve my storage problem 🙂

Great ideas – thanks for sharing.
I really need to get my “craft area” together. Seems I always have a messy area going on. :/
Are you thawed out yet?
Enjoy your weekend.

Debbie says
How come your messy craft area is still so much cuter than mine when it’s all clean?
I loved these and have pinned a few. My favorite of all is the cupcake holder for the small things. Perfect. It’s cute AND ingenious.
Manuela says
I love that one too! I know Target has some and also TJMaxx – hoping I can get one on clearance!
Deanna says
I always need inspiration for organization, not just crafting organization! Thanks for the cute and really useful ideas!
Manuela says
Oh you’re welcome! I’m always looking for organizing ideas too! I wish I could hire someone to organize me (and clean…and a driver) 🙂

Such great ideas! I would love a craft room space to fix up and organize!! I may have to play around and see how to incorporate some of these ideas into the area I currently occupy. =)
