Craft Storage

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

My kids have TONNES of craft supplies and I am wondering how you others deal with the heaps of glue beads paper foam ribbons and kits!!! How do you store it. I want it easy for them to access but not ugly to have out!!! Thanks!

Drawers on wheels with dividers and/or containers for individual items inside.

that is what I was thinking.....saw one that is taller than what I have for $34.99...problem is I am not sure that would hold it all. I use baby jars for the beads and little things. Being on wheels I could roll it out of the room if I get tired of looking at it!!!

I like this one but have never seen them.....

Absolutely drawers on wheels! And containers in the drawers on wheels!

Gosh, I have seen those but they were so expensive I just dismissed them! Ikea, maybe??

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

hmmm....ok thanks. Expensive does not work for me!!!

Wow, that's a really nice one. I just have the cheapie ones from when they come on sale - 3 or 4 of the shorter ones, just below table height so easy to roll under a table, or put other things on top of.

I also use hanging 'shoe' holders - got a variety of colours at the dollar store.


Wouldn't this be nice?

[Natalka]

Hm, I think I'm going to do this for my foam sheets, crafts papers, etc.
I have the hanging sweater thingees already (just haven't used them yet). I got a whole bunch of them, different sizes, last year - but can't remember where from? I know I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't really cheap, lol!

I usually have my craft stuff in its own room and bring items out for the little ones. I use alot of photo storage boxes to keep my "stuff" organized.

[GottaLoveFreeebies]

I have some stuff in a big box and the rest in in the cupboards downstairs, but now that they are getting older and like to create their own things, I think it would be fun for them to see it all and create!

Thanks for the ideas!

this gives me so many ideas. right now i have a "craft box" which is crammed full and the top doesn't close and...my floor!

I kept baby wipes tubs for the small stuff like pom poms, stickers, wool, beads, crayons, etc. I own a labeller and that took care of organizing it. I keep it all low on my bookcase where he can just go and grab what he wants.

Good idea! I saved baby food jars that I use for beads n stuff.....maybe the cans will work for the bulkier stuff!!!
