I’m fairly certain that one of the universal truths in the crafting world is that craft supply or craft room organization is a CONSTANT struggle. Whether it’s beads, small bottles of paint, sewing notions, or paper ephemera, there is an unending need for craft storage and a craft organizer for each and every material.
But I am certainly not alone- my fellow bloggers have TONS of upcycling ideas for organizing your craft supplies, and I’ve gathered them here for your inspiration.
I always say that upcycling and organizing go hand-in-hand because so many random objects from thrift stores can “hold” stuff, especially small stuff like craft supplies. Markers in a mason jar…glitter in salt shakers…you get the picture.
And moms and grandmas who used old cookie and biscuit tins to hold buttons or sewing supplies were doing this LONG before we had trendy words like “upcycling”.
So, if you’re looking for craft storage ideas and organizing your craft supplies on a budget, then this collection is DEFINITELY for you!
Well, what sparked your curiosity? Or conversely, have you upcycled something totally differently for your craft supplies? Getting our craft stuff in order is a constant battle, and hopefully you found some inspiration for organizing craft supplies in your home!
I found a gunrack for $3 but haven’t made a ribbon rack like yours yet! Good winter project. In the old days I used several spice racks for my acrylic paints but have graduated to the nice storebot spinning one that still doesn’t hold all my paints (now including fabric paints and glass stains!). I made your upended stool with castors for wrapping paper storage and loved using it during Christmas! A thrifted plastic 3 drawer storage unit holds my glitter and glitter glue. These supplies all mulltiple like dirty dishes left in the sink at nite! And then, my local Big Lots had Christmas stuff 90% off; just had to buy some ribbon, ornaments, paper, flower bushes, etc. to craft for my church’s Christmas bazaar–another pile! With this “Snowmageddon” storm, I am doing some crafting!
