Use scrap fabric to make your own organizer for all of your craft materials! You can customize the pockets to be as big or small as you would like (or any shape you would like).
Use a pegboard to organize your craft room. You can paint it a fun color or even keep it white, but either way these are great for hanging up tons of different craft supplies you may have.
Use file folders to organize all of your fabric. This is a great method because it will help them all fit compacted in your drawers but you will also be able to see the fabrics well and access them easily.
Use some clothes pins and wrap your thread around them. This will keep all of your thread nice and organized. You can use the end of the pin to pinch the end of your thread too, so that you can always find the end quickly rather than having to search for it.
Add some magnets to a plate or cake stand so that all of your pins stay on top of your plate. Now you won’t loose them and they will stay tight.
Hang some binder clips from nails and then pinch the top of your paint bottles inside the clips. They will be securely in place and all of your paints will stay super organized and easy to see when you are looking for a specific color.
Make a pin cushion inside of a tea cup. You can also fill your cushion with steel wool so that it keeps your needles nice and sharp every time you use them.
Use a spice rack to hold all of your craft paints. It’s nice that it rotates around and you can also recycle an old spice rack if you find one or have one you aren’t using.
Make your own craft room organizer from PVC pipe! It stacks really well and is also great to keep pens, markers, or other art supplies organized inside each pipe.
Use embroidery hoops as craft organizers! These look so unique and can add a lot of character to your craft room. They are great for making your own thread rack.
Use some cans to keep your paints organized. They work well because of their great size. You can keep them as they are or decorate them with fun colored papers for a pop of fun.
Repurpose the side of an old crib for your craft room. If you turn it vertically, you can hang your fabric from each bar and have lots of room to keep them all together.
Keep things organized in your craft room by using a file cabinet! They can store all kinds of craft supplies and you can paint yours with chalk paint so that it also serves as a calendar or memo board as well.
Place mason jars or small cans onto a lazy Susan that you can keep lots of art supplies on. They can be organized together but take up less space and also be easy to get to when you want to turn them in place.
Take your old cereal boxes and put them to a good use! You can cut them to make these cute drawer organizers that will keep the drawers in your craft room super organized and just how you like them.
Use clear, plastic bins to organize all of your craft supplies! They are the solution to just about anything that needs to be organized.
Use a storage bin with holes in it, and then put a stick through your spools of ribbon. You can pull each ribbon through a hole in the basket so they all stay in place and are easy to find.
Make or buy a storage ottoman for your craft room. These are so comfy to sit on while you work on craft projects, but are also great for storing lots of items in underneath.

A plastic gutter, mounted on the wall, can be used to store rolls of ribbon. It can be cut easily to be any length, you can see the color of the ribbon because it its stored on edge, and fits multiple sized rolls. I also place small boxes or trays in the gutter to hold very tiny rolls.
The shape of the gutter allows you to slip a scissors on the end, between the gutter and the wall.
