Embrace the 'Cluttercore' Trend With These Craft Organizers

When it comes to crafting, clutter isn't necessarily a bad thing—especially if the clutter equates to craft supplies for DIY projects. That being said, it's still helpful to add some order to the chaos of threads, beads, paint tubes, and pins. Otherwise, you might have a hard time finding what you need when prepping for your next craft project. No matter if you crochet, paint, sew, or make paper crafts with a Cricut machine, you can add a level of functionality to your craft supplies with storage containers, cabinets, dividers, drawers and bins for the ultimate craft room organization.

Not sure where to start? We've got all of your craft storage needs covered with the best craft organizers for art supplies and craft rooms alike.

‌Storage Space:‌ When organizing your craft supplies, the amount of storage space you have to work with is important to consider. This will help inform your organizing approach and allow you to make the most out of the area, whether it be a hall closet, home office or craft space. When shopping for organizers, measure your storage space to ensure larger items such as shelving units, storage cabinets and even pegboards will fit.

‌Vertical Space:‌ In addition to storage space, it also helps to consider what vertical space you can utilize with craft organizers such as pegboards, shelves and wall-mounted organizing solutions. Vertical space is also important to consider if you plan on utilizing storage cabinets or bookshelves with storage bins for craft items such as yarn or fabric.

‌Craft Type:‌ This isn't the most vital thing to consider—especially since most storage solutions are quite versatile—but it helps to consider the types of projects you work on and how you might organize specific craft supplies, such as spools of thread, skeins of yarn, scrapbooking supplies, vinyl for Cricut projects and acrylic paint. While you can find many uses for craft organizers, there are some options that work best with certain craft supplies, like a thread rack for spools of thread.

‌Lifestyle:‌ Your crafting lifestyle is also beneficial to think about. For example, if you're someone who likes to have everything out in the open where you can see it, you'll likely want to utilize a pegboard and additional wall-mounted storage plus a rolling storage cart for a more open workspace. And, if you're someone who prefers to declutter, cabinets with storage solutions like storage bins and storage drawers might be a better choice.

In addition to your workspace storage, it's also helpful to think about whether or not you craft on the go, as there are several ways to stay organized while away from your craft room. For example, you can purchase carrying cases and tote bags for your sewing machine and Cricut machine with lots of additional pockets and storage features. You can also find backpacks for crochet or knitting on Amazon that keep all of your supplies organized while traveling.

‌Price:‌ When shopping for craft storage, price is also helpful to factor in, as things can add up quickly and there are ways to get more bang for your buck. For example, it might be worth investing in a sturdy shelf for sewing supplies, however, you can easily repurpose old sauce jars (spray paint the lids a fun color for added style!) to hold things like bobbins, pins, needles, buttons and more.

If you're organizing your entire craft room, creating a budget for your storage solutions can help ensure you don't go overboard and give you plenty of room to get creative with alternative storage containers. You can do a mix of high- and low-end craft storage, which will not only help you organize all of your craft and art supplies but also add a more personal and unique touch to your craft room organization.
