Learn How to Easily Organize Your Craft Room Utilizing Different Storage Ideas for Sewing, Cricut, Paper Crafting and Painting.
Today, I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite tips and tricks for organizing and tidying up your crafting supplies.
If your New Year's Resolution was to be more organized this year, I've got you covered!
Whether you have a dedicated crafting space or not, you can utilize so many of these tips to keep your supplies organized for easy crafting!
One of my favorite ways to store supplies is by mounting them on the wall. This allows me to easily access my supplies and see exactly what I have!
In this post, I've linked to the products I'm using in my own craft room as well as a few others that I think might be helpful!

Artbin Paint or Marker Storage Tray
This paint storage tray is a dream because it mounts to the wall and allows you to easily see exactly what you have without digging through a box of supplies. I love that I can mount it high on the wall to keep it out of reach of little hands!
Here's another great paint storage option that's made of clear acrylic, or this one holds 49 paint bottles, is white, and can be mounted on the wall.
If painting isn't your thing it's also great for holding markers! It doesn't have to be mounted to the wall, it can also sit on a desk as an organizer as well.
Artbin Vinyl Storage Rack - White
This Vinyl Storage Rack from Art Bin makes storing vinyl a cinch! It has large holes that allow you to store tons of vinyl, iron-on, or even faux leather sheets in each slot. You can even stack multiple organizers on top of each other if you have tons of vinyl like me!
Looking for an even larger organizer for your vinyl? This one holds a whopping 69 rolls!
I also really love this one I purchased recently that holds a machine, heat press, tools, vinyl and mats.
June Tailor 30 Spool thread Wood Rack with Legs
I spray-painted this thread rack white to match the rest of my organizers and it’s a great way to store thread. It keeps them from unrolling and allows you to find exactly the right color you need when you’re sewing.
This rack is meant to stand on a table, but you can close the legs and hang it from two nails to mount it to the wall.
If your spools of thread currently resemble a rats nest, you definitely need this handy storage rack!
If you're looking for an even larger spool rack, check out this one I found on Amazon that holds up to 60 spools!
Pegboards
Pegboards can be a huge game-changer in any crafting space because they allow you to hang tools, scissors and organize small supplies. You can find a pegboard at almost any home supply store. Click here to see Amazon's most popular crafting pegboard.
Hooks
Whether it’s Cricut mats, cutting mats, or rulers, installing a few hooks on your wall can make it easy to organize oddly shaped items. I grabbed a wide variety of command hooks which work well for this! Click here for hooks designed specifically for Cricut mats.
Washi Tape Storage
Use a clear container to easily store wash tape in a way that you can see each roll. This exact container isn't currently available, but here are three different options that look great!
Rolling Cart
Utilizing a 3-tiered rolling cart in your craft room is a great way to store items that might need to move around your room for easy access.
This one I found on Amazon is specifically designed with the crafter in mind and has tons of accessories for storing craft supplies.
Deflecto Ribbon Dispenser Clear
This ribbon dispenser makes it SO easy to access ribbon and it's no longer stored in a box where it gets tangled up. This dispenser can be stacked as well for more storage.

4 Level Stamp & Supply Stadium Organizer
This 4-level organizer is intended for stamps but I love using it to store alcohol inks, glitter glue, paint markers, and small storage cases.
It has four different levels with plenty of room for all of your supplies.
Photo Album
Do you have tons of Vinyl or Iron-On scraps? Use a photo album like this one from Heidi Swapp to store all of your scraps. I sort mine by color so it's easy to find everything I need.
Fab Lab Glass Jars
I love using glass jars to store ribbons, felt balls, and embroidery thread. It's easy to see what you've stored inside of the jar, plus it looks SO pretty and can add a fun pop of color to your craft room.
Artbin Large Bobbin Box
Tidy up your threads with this clear plastic bobbin box organizer! I love being able to easily find exactly the right shade of thread I need for a project.
Darice Bead Storage System EZ View
This Bead Container is great for rhinestones, sequins, and glitter. The clear plastic allows you to find what you need quickly and easily!
That wraps up my tips and tricks for organizing your crafting space! I hope you enjoyed all of these fun ideas and I can't wait to see your newly organized craft space!
DreamBox from Create Room
I've had my DreamBox from Create Room for many years in my last three homes and it's become the centerpiece of my crafting space and a vital part of my ability to stay organized while I craft.
It comes with clear totes and shelves to organize all my craft supplies and Cricut machines. Learn more here! Check out Create Room to shop the DreamBox and use code SWEETREDPOPPY for the best possible offer!

I love the clothes pin idea!
Thanks for sharing.
What clothespin idea?
If you follow the colored text after Looking for even more craft room organization tips & tricks it shows using large clothespins for storing embroidery floss, rick rack, etc. "I wrap my embroidery floss around large clothespins once I’ve started using it and I want to keep the leftovers. It makes it easy to find the color I need and prevents unruly tangles." https://sweetredpoppy.com/craft-and-sewing-room-makeover/
I love this post! I hope to design my craft room some day. I love the colors.
I just watched the utube video on the updates to your craft room 2020... What is the name and where do I find that incredible sewing table you sew on?
Love the idea of keeping vinyl scraps in a photo album. Although all the ideas are great. Thanks for sharing
Great tips! I loved the photo album idea too. Can’t wait to make my own organization here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for sharing. Now I need to find the energy!
I love all your storage ideas but need something else. My thread , fabric, vinyl etc can’t be left out to the air. One, we have cats. And second, the dust on the sewing items makes them hard on sewing machine and deteriorates threads etc with sun and open to air.
I have lots of cupboards for storage but need to find containers that can sit out and be pretty but sealed. Like the jars , closed but accessible. Any tips greatly appreciated!
In organizing my sewing/craft room in the past I've already used some of these tips, but discovered some new uses for them. I used various mason jars and other kinds for buttons. I have a ton of them. I separated them by color and display them on a dresser in the room. I also have a giant metal scissor hook that I use for yardsticks, craft rulers, etc. And I use basket and decorative boxes for various sewing supplies. Thank you for giving me some more ideas to continue organizing now that I have a Cricut.
