Oranizing the Craft Closet

Filed in Crafty News

Our Crafts ~N~ Things

This is my craft/art project supply closet.  I really hate this closet- it is up much too high and it is really deep.  The bottom shelf is at my eye level and is pretty much the only shelf I can comfortably reach.  The shelves are really deep, so there is no way I can reach anything at the back of the shelves, even if they are on the bottom.  Plus that wooden beam in the middle is always getting in my way.  We have lived here for almost 4 years and I have re-organized this closet so many times, but it always gets messy again because it is so hard to put things away.  This is my newest organization- everything is in a bin and everything is labeled.  I am really hoping this helps!

Here is a closer look at the left side- the top shelf has bins that relate to themes I use at certain times of the year- they are organized by months- September-November, December- February, etc.  Since I practically need a ladder to get things down off this shelf it is best to keep those bins up there.  When I am using one I will keep it in the open space on the bottom shelf.  The middle shelf and bottom shelf have different items we use for art projects.  As long as I force myself to put things away as soon as we are done using them then I think this will work.  Right now there is a lot of wasted space behind the bins, but since I can’t reach anything back there I am just leaving it empty.

 Here is a closer look at the right side.  Again- the bins on the top aren’t used very often.  The other shelves have bins with pull out drawers full of craft supplies.

 I am hoping I can keep this organized, right now I can find everything I need and that is a wonderful thing!

Also, I’ve been invited to try Time4Learning for one month in exchange for a candid review. This online curriculum can be useful for those wanting homeschool materials or for those seeking help with topics such as homeschool record keeping. Find out how to write your own review.  So, you will be seeing me doing some posts about that as well 🙂
