If you are a weekend craftsman, like me, you probably have a lot of crafting junk around that get all that bulk, depending on the project you're working on right now.

Over the years I have found various ways to organize my craft and sewing supplies in a way that I can actually find them when I need it. As I went through the process of their organization, I was able to identify the elements that I no longer needed and separate the items remaining in logicgroups. Consequently, now I have all my supplies limited to a corner of a room and organized. Now I can find things when I need it.

When I started to rummage through my performances were thrown together in a lot of cardboard boxes in a closet hard to reach. The first thing I did was dump each box into a big pile and start sorting. My posts were: lace, trim, buttons, quilting supplies, supplies, cross stitch, ribbon roses, fabricnotes, books, crafts, and misc.

First I removed the pieces, I realized that I had never used again. Then I bought two very large Rubbermaid containers (perfect for stacking) to store my supplies in. You may need more depending on how many supplies you have accumulated. I also bought some gallon size ziploc bags.

I sorted through all the lace trim and put in a ziploc bag and trim in another. Ribbon roses went in another. I put all the buttons in a plasticcontainer with different compartments – sorted by color. All of these elements, and various others. like styrofoam balls, paper contact, plastic canvas, went into a Rubbermaid container.

All my quilting supplies and a cross stitch (mostly scraps of fabric and cross stitch fabric) went into the second container.

All my unfinished projects went into a cardboard box, and my son for plastic canvas projects went the other.

Containers and boxes stacked on each other andfit nicely into a small square "craft table" I put in a corner of my office at home. And 'everything starts and everything is easily identifiable.

Above the table I keep little projects I work, albums such as cross-stitch, or photo to work for the album. My son embroidery is organized by DMC number in plastic containers made for storing embroidery thread. These containers are stacked on the table.

My sewing machine thread is organized on a smallwooden dowels that are small, you can buy, which was designed to hold spools of thread. My sewing machine sits on the floor beside the table while the boat is not used.

Next to my craft table is a stand-alone cupboard that is sold as a pantry cupboard that you can probably find at Walmart for about $ 100. In the cupboard I store a large number of items such as my multipurpose glue guns, all types of glue, paper, scissors, and all my scrapbooking supplies. This belief large objects worksfamily members also use a lot, like tape and scissors. My knife and long stapler are stored on top of the cupboard.

I also have several libraries in my office and I use a couple of shelves on one of them to organize my craft and sewing books. The books are classified according to type of vessel.

All my small sewing supplies I keep in a couple of small sewing baskets that I can move with me from room to room. I keep these sewing needles, embroidery scissors, measuringtape, pins, seam ripper, etc.

We hope that these ideas will help you want to start organizing your craft and sewing supplies for their own. It 'so much fun to work on projects, if you know what you have and where everything is.
