[Nfb-krafters-korner] A Sunday Question

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I have seen recently 2-two shelf storage cases that are the same size and shape.  They are separated by a table top/counter top and made into a desk.  The storage cases have fabric bins  to hold your things.  I think it looks cool.

For myself, I am just working on my craft room. I realized that I had 10-15 bags with different crafts in them.  I am using a dresser, totes (for yarn) and small fabric bins to hold my craft supplies.  I am organizing it all now and cleaning out bags of stuff.  One drawer is for paper, one has 3 small plastic totes in it for buttons, pipe cleaners, ribbons, scissors etc.  As I said, it is a work in progress.

This is good. I am getting an overall suggestion of a dresser from most people and really makes you think about this.

Hello all,

I will describe how I organize my craft supplies.

First, I will say that I am usually working on two to four craft projects at a time. I have a bag with handles for each project containing the basic supplies for that craft, needles, hooks, stitch markers and yarn.
I have a small sewing box, wear I keep supplies I might use often such as scissors, needle protectors, more stitch markers, and a measuring tape. 

I am very fortunate to have an extra dresser in my den and I use it for supplies I do not presently need or that I don't use regularly. Looms, loom tools, beads, cording, wire, latch hook and canvas, my cotton yarn and other such items.

In my closet, I have a large plastic storage container with all my acrylic yarn. Yarn is in a zip lock bag and is labeled in braille. I always have to sit on the floor and sort through this container to find yarn for a new project. (Since I am making many dishcloths in classes, I keep the cotton yarn separate.)


This is simply my way, and of course, different strategies work for different folks and of course, the room one has in their home will affect how many supplies one can keep. Mm, money as well. 

Hope this helps.


Have a great day!!
Cathy F
