This is a perfect example of crafting seasons. I had a tailoring business where each micro category had a plastic shoebox on a wall shelf system. It was necessary for efficiency of time, effort, and waste of materials. If you need to find a size of button, a snap fastener, a bodkin, or a particular size of wiggan and can not find it, you will order more only to find it later. When I closed shop and packed up, I emptied each shoebox container into a ziploc bag, labeled it, and put it in a large storage tote that was labeled "Sewing." It was a new season of crafting when the sewing items went into bulk storage and the paper crafting things came out to play. Now, I still sew but it is not taking up prime real estate on my tables or shelves and I can still find what I want with a quick rummage in the big tote. I use the 27 gal construction totes from Lowe's because I wanted to stack these in the closet and did not want to risk damage to the contents. If I had EVERYTHING out and in adorable storage containers, I would need to use the entirety of the downstairs living area. You just don't need that much stuff out because it is overwhelming and distracting when you just want to play. I have the 5 x 5 Kallax from Ikea with white bins that I re-label when I "switch gears" as my husband says. The current hobby favorite gets placed in the unit and the previous gets bagged and put in the tote/totes. Things are still accessible, just not in the way. When we were in the military, everything lived in zippy bags in big totes. You just did not have room in base housing for craft room things. Of course, back then, I had only 2 craft totes, lol. So pick your season! Norrine has such beautiful ways to make your prime crafting real estate shine!

Then I get bogged down thinking, I need to separate these beads into colours, then im confused if perhaps i should store the pearls somewhere else.....etc etc etc. One thing i cant do is to say I’ll only do an hour, I’m disabled and i know if that day is good enough for me to get sorting then i have to keep going as i dont know when ill have another good enough day to do some more. Best thing is when my husband has my craft cabin built I wont have to work with built in wardrobes and dressing tables, cant wait till its done lol

I know what you mean, I have lots of bins that I toss "little things" into, but after a while, it gets full and I cannot see what I have. Noreen's shelving is so nicely organized AND LABELED, which is one of most important parts, I think. If you put something in a category and then forget your plans for it (like me!), organizing into separate bins ISN'T a help at all! Thanks, Noreen for making SENSE out the chaos! 💖

EXCELLENT INFORMATION! Plus DO NOT BUY containers until you have all the ‘likes with likes’! Then do some measuring and go get the containers.

Consolidation! Your instinct for our little foibles is spot on! Thanks!

This is excellent for those of us who are Majorly OCD!!!!

I use a mesh shoe organizer which I hung over a curtain rod (from a window I never opened on one of my office walls), I put ribbons, glue dots, foam adhesives, tape rolls etc which makes a perfect catch all for craft supplies, and I can see thru the mesh to quickly find what I need.

I use to do this ALL the time. I love containers and organizing, but it got out of hand quickly.

Wow. Totally agree...you can lose yourself with over organisation 'tubs'

Oh, Noreen! Thank you so VERY much!! “Categories” is where I really struggle - and I find I DO micromanage. You are so gifted at helping turn our chaos into order and I thank you so much. All of your videos are helpful but this particular one, for me, is like teaching me to fish rather than giving me a fish! You had so kindly answered me before encouraging “likes with likes” which I am doing, but this tells me what to do with all the small containers of “likes” and creating a single spot for groups is “likes”. Thank you, again!! May God richly bless you.

I have been trying to get, my craft room done and instead it just seems to be getting worse. Seeing this visually has really helped me to see what I am doing wrong. I really, really like the jars!

Hi Norrine, greetings from Down Under. Thank you for another fabulous video. I am a real container person and also like pretty boxes and tins. However, when I was packing to move house I discovered that I had a lot of plastic shoe boxes, each containing embroidery kits. I put the contents of each box into large press seal bags with the pattern facing up (like food storage bags but bigger) and then placed all the bags into one big tub. This tub is much easier to store and I can see what is in each bag as I go through them. As for the shoe boxes, well, they stacked inside each other and then I stood the lids in the top one upright. Look forward to seeing your next video soon. Stay safe and well, from Di 😘💕🇦🇺.

Hi, I have recently started crafting since becoming disabled. I originally was scrapbooking but I’m kind of over that and I wanted to move on to things that were more challenging so I’m trying to set up my craft room in an empty bedroom. You have given me a lot to think about and great inspiration. I have just ordered the IKEA skadis pegboard and I also have a large IKEA cube shelf filled with cube bins I need to get rid of because they are filled with things I just don’t use any more. One of your videos regarding getting rid of 100 things is definitely something I am going to do. I will continue watching your videos to help me get my craft room shut up to be as efficient as possible. What most exciting me about this video was the fact that you started friend mail. I would love to receive something from you to give me inspiration and then send something back to you once I get organized and I’m ready to begin again. I am on a tight budget since I live alone and my small two bedroom home. But I try and save a little money each month to put towards some thing that will help me get organize to create the best Real estate in my craft room which also doubles as my closet since it is the only one in the home. I was wondering how I go about getting my address to you. Do I simply place it in the comment section? Or is there a way I can send you a private message with it? I do have several things for card making but I’m still not that good at it. I was hoping perhaps you could send me something that could help me. I am also trying to save up for a cricket. I’m not sure which one yet, I was thinking the cricket joy since it seems to be the most affordable. I watch a lot of KZread videos on crafts that you can get using items from the dollar tree. Since I am on a budget I can’t to draw from their inspiration to try new things. I look forward to hearing back from you, I am so happy I found your channel. I believe it will help me setting up my craft room the best way possible. Thank you so much Diane ..

Hi, Diane!!!! I'm so excited for your craft space!!! Scrapbooking was my first craft love too.... but I've moved to digital now. Much less expensive, and just as creative! I'd love to add you to my friend mail! Just email me your address: CallClutterFairy@gmail.com. I can't wait to send you a card!

the trap i get myself into with this, too, is that there are so many different options for storage that I find myself picking up a few things here and there to see what's worth getting more of. And sometimes this works great and I have a few storage systems that work well because I went back and got a bunch of them, but more often than not what happens is i just end up with a hodgepodge collection of containers instead of being able to go 'right things that are in this type of thing is This Type of Thing'.

Take breaks! Send me pics! We will get through this!

Thank you. I have been working on corralling my craft supplies into bins that will fit my storage space. This is the approach I have taken and your video was really helpful. 😺

Yay! Let me know how it goes!

💗😊💕Thanks so much for the reminder. I too have been figuring out to organize like a store, have like items together and not so spread out. I also try to be alert from any internal guidance as to how to get more stuff in one spot, like for instance take items out of packaging. And create more of a blanket label or multi-label on each container to be able to find things easily. I also find that the containers I buy is best if they nestle into each other for better storage when not being used to house items. As I’ve learned my lesson not to be too hasty with getting rid of them as organizing needs do change from time to time and you might already have the perfect sized box at home and don’t have to go shopping everywhere trying to look for it. Just like me, my ‘everything room’ (craft room, spare room, workspace, etc) is always ‘in flux’ so I may go back to use some of those containers in the future. LOVE and PEACE out to ALL💕😊💗

Thanks Norine, as you already mentioned several time, containers should be picked after gathering all the likes with the likes and once we have an overview of how large the container should be :) Always good to remind us about that !!!

Thanks, Perrine! I still find I grab containers when I find cool/functional ones. I get to cheat and save them for clients though! 😊

I completely agree! I feel like as a virgo organize freak. I tend to get caught up on micro organizing. Only because its so fun for me. But it doesn’t always work as a system. Thank you for tackling this topic! Love it!!!

Exactly!! I fall into that too... though I am not a Virgo. LOL I LOVE breaking things down into micro categories!!!

Love the decorative boxes, my fav color also! I hate plastic containers so I tried baskets, thrift store picnic baskets but they got out of control :( now I have to go through several looking for one thing! You have inspired me to get it organized again only better this tine with labels

Ty so very much!!

@The Crafty Organizer I need a "LOVE" button! 💗👏🏼 Noreen, I have chills because this is *exactly* the answer I was looking for!! *This* moves me forward to the next step in my challenge to create an aesthetically pleasing, yet micro-organized and functional 1-bedroom apartment! 😍 I've rehoused soooo many items, over the past 3 years, and am heading toward my dream space for this chapter of my life (well, a dream within these walls, without spending much 😂) Due to my unpredictable chronic health issues, I *need* to create as much space as I can, while I can, in the event I eventually require my mobility aids inside my home. Finding the most efficient use of my space is essential. *You* have helped me visualize the next step! Thank you!!! 🤗💕🙏🏼🇨🇦

Thank you so much for the handy tips. My craft space is in my bedroom ( drives my husband mad 😁 ) but it's my little happy place. I'm always looking for help & ways to keep it tidy and organised. I love watching your videos for the handy tips and ideas. Thank you again.
