Craftroom Makeover

Remember the plastic table I turned into an outdoor table with an umbrella? (Previous post) Well, it was in my craft room, then I found this beauty!

I know, you're probably saying, "What was she thinking?" But for $8 at a yard sale, with a little sand, paint, craft paper, modge podge, new knobs ($5 at Hobby Lobby), and a little love, $13 later we have...

I love it! It transformed my highly undecorated, unmotivating, craft room, into a more anticipated jumping off point to finish this room. More to come on that. In the meantime, you can find all kinds of containers and helps around the house to help you organize some of your own creative spaces.


Simple little rubbermaid containers can hold those small buttons and little spools of ribbon. These ones form a moon shape, so when stored close together make a full circle, or you could use square or rectangle ones for stacking also.




This is an inexpensive craft organizer purchased from Walmart, for just a couple bucks. Helps store beads, sorted by color and size.




This one is my own invention of an on-the-counter- towel rack used as a larger ribbon holder. The spools already come with a perfect size hole to slide these babies on.




Also my own idea, a used dishwasher detergent container, turned craft paint holder. It is the perfect heighth for storing brushes with the paint. Using some of the craft paper matching the desk, and painting the words "Paint" with puffy paint, it is well used as you can see.




Reusable glass jars are a pretty touch too! Storing anything your imagination holds!

 Organizing doesn't have to cost alot. See what you can find around your house to help you start organizing your own creative, blissful space!
