How Do I Declutter And Organize My Craft Room?

A cluttered craft room can be frustrating and overwhelming. You know you need to declutter, but where do you even start? Here are our top 3 tips on how to organize and declutter craft supplies. 

Start By Purging Your Craft Supplies

What is the first step to decluttering your room? Purge your supplies. Go through everything and get rid of anything that you no longer use or that is damaged beyond repair. Once you've sorted through your supplies, put them into categories, so they're easy to find when you need them. For example, you might have a section for stamps, stencils, dies, inks, tools, and so on. This will help you stay organized and make the most of the space in your craft room.

Invest in Multi-Purpose Furniture and Upcycle Old Stuff

One way to make more space in your craft room is to invest in multi-purpose furniture and upcycle old stuff. For example, an ottoman with hidden storage can be used as a place to store 12x12 patterned paper, cardstock, and other large or bulky tools. A coffee table with drawers can hold tiny bits and bobs, stickers, washi tapes, and more. An old mug can hold paintbrushes, pencils, alcohol markers, etc.

Use Vertical Space Wisely

Using vertical space wisely is a must-try hack for organizing craft supplies - especially if you have a tiny craft room. If you have empty walls, consider hanging shelves to store supplies or displaying finished projects.
