Create an Organized & Efficient Craft Space: Tip Two
Tip Two: Create an Organizational System for Unfinished Craft Projects
Designate a place to keep your unfinished projects,
grouped together by project.
Why
Incomplete projects can often be overlooked as they start to pile up in your craft room over time. They tend to get lost, ruined, or make a mess – which is an inconvenience when creating an efficient workflow in your craft space. Sometimes, you might even forget which elements where meant to go with your project if it isn't kept together in one place.
How
- Gather all your elements for each individual project. This will help keep everything organized so you can quickly dive back into the project when you are ready.
- Write a few notes to go along with your project so you don't forget the original creative idea.
- Use a storage solution like Paper Storage Pockets to keep all of the elements organized by project.
- Designate a specific place for storing your unfinished projects. This could be a drawer, a Paper Crate, or even a section in your craft closet. Just be sure to designate an area so you don't just leave your projects on your desk cluttering your workspace.
Extra Tip: Utilize Paper Storage Pockets to Organize Unfinished Projects
For avid card makers, the 8.5x11 Paper Storage Pockets are perfect for storing unfinished cards. Additionally, you can keep the supplies you've used for the card in the same pocket to ensure everything stays together. Once everything is in the pocket, label each storage pocket with the project's name and date to keep track of them easily.
For scrapbook enthusiasts, the 12x12 Paper Storage Pockets offer plenty of space for scrapbook paper, photos, stickers, and more. Similar to the 8.5x11 size, place your project in a folder, so it's readily available when you need it.
These pockets not only make it easy to spot your projects but also keep them safe and out of the way. They come with a label tab so you can easily find what you’re looking for. We recommend using Avery label 5167 (1/2" x 1-3/4").
When you know where your supplies are, it creates efficiency. With that comes a sense of peace knowing that you can always come back to an unfinished project. No more hassle, just more time unleashing your creativity!
