Create an Organized & Efficient Craft Space: Tip Three

Tip Three: Keep Essential Supplies Organized and Within Arm’s Reach

Keep your most used tools and supplies organized at your work area and within arm's reach. 

Why

Every crafter has a list of essential craft supplies they use for nearly every project, such as glue, scissors, and markers. However, having to search for these supplies can significantly cut into valuable crafting time. Having your supplies readily available and easy to access is key to an efficient crafting space. This strategy not only saves time but also maintains your creative flow.

How

  • Identify Your Most Used Supplies: Make a list of the tools and supplies you use most frequently, such as glue sticks, brushes, tape runners, scissors, blending tools, pickers, and pens. 
  • Choose a Storage Solution that Fits Your Most Used Supplies: Select a storage option that holds and organizes your essential supplies, keeping them within arm’s reach and preventing them from getting lost or misplaced in the clutter. 
  • Be Sure to Put Your Tools Back When Finished: To help keep your work area clutter-free and prevent your supplies from getting lost or misplaced, always place your tools back in their designated storage space while crafting.

Extra Tip

When you know exactly what you have and where you have it, it creates efficiency in your craft room – allowing you to spend less time searching and more time unleashing your creativity!

Use a Tool Tray: This solution provides great flexibility by keeping your supplies within arm’s reach. It's also lightweight, allowing you to easily move it to your preferred workspace. The Tool Tray is a great option for pens, blending brushes, water brushes, pick tools, glue sticks, and scissors.

Use a Desk Caddy: This solution ensures your supplies are easily accessible and features multiple compartments, allowing you to keep various craft supplies organized and close to your preferred workspace. The Desk Caddy is the most versatile offering storage for pens, water brushes, pick tools, glue sticks, scissors, adhesives, tape runners, stamp blocks, washi tape, blending tools, sprays, embellishments sheets, and more.

Use a Craft Caddy: This solution features a 360-degree rotating base, allowing you to easily view all your supplies. It also includes compartments of various sizes, allowing you to store a wide range of supplies efficiently. The Craft Caddy is more compact than the Desk Caddy, but still offers plenty of storage space for pens, scissors, tape runners, stamp blocks, glue sticks, and more.
