Craft Closet Take 2

As some of you may remember, my craft closet started out as a utility closet. Then I transformed it into my craft closet. Now it has been transformed into an even better craft closet! I'm so happy with how it turned out!

I have seen lots of ideas for storing ribbon and this is my favorite! At a glance I can see every kind of ribbon that I own. I just cut out some cardboard pieces, spray painted them white and wrapped my ribbon around them and secured the ends with pins.

I have seen those Clip It Up organizers and loved them but I didn't have the table space or the $60 for everything I would need. So I went to IKEA and got these clips for 24/$5 and just hooked them onto the wire shelf. It turned out to be a great way to take advantage of an other wise unusable space. They hold not only my ribbon by my scrapbooking papers, stickers, etc.

On the top shelf I have some boxes (also from IKEA) that I covered in pretty wrapping paper. They hold all of my cookie cutters, some tools, and anything else that I don't necessarily want visible.

All of my fabric scraps are folded and stacked.

Then there is my peg board that I LOVE!

All of my beads are in small bags that you can find in the beading section of any craft store.

My sharpies, pens, and paint brushes are all stored in aluminum cans that I wrapped with scrapbooking paper.

I got these drawers from, you guessed it, IKEA! My printer sits on top of them and my sewing machine and laminator slide in right next to it.

For the top drawer I made some dividers out of cardstock to hold various odds and ends. I don't particularly recommend doing this. It works just fine but it was a huge pain in the butt to make!

Finally, this is how I keep all of my gift wrap organized. I put two screws in the wall leaving them sticking out about 1/4". I put two more screws at the same heights on the other side of where I wanted my wrapping paper. Then I took some embroidery thread and tied it around the head of one of the screws. Leaving some slack, I tied the other end around the other screw head. Then I just slide my gift wrap rolls behind the thread and it keeps them all standing upright.

I hope you enjoyed the look at my craft closet and how it has evolved! My husband is helping me take the sliding doors that were on this closet and turn them into French doors so they can open up and have even more storage on the back of the door. So stay tuned for even more craft supply organization!
