Crafting Tips!
I often have friends tell me they would craft more often if they did not have to hull supplies out of closets throughout their home. Storing supplies in functional containers (see my post on Craft Room Spring Cleaning) alleviates some problems. Having supplies readily, and easily available so you can use them encourages crafting and makes the whole experience more enjoyable and productive!
Enjoy a few tips which we put to use in our craft room!
1. Designate a large, plastic bread board for messy crafts,
cutting, and hot glue projects. Store it near the glue gun!

It is easy to locate a favorite pad color or stamp.
3. Jars, jars, jars!!! They allow you to see what is inside!
Mason jars are my favorite.
4. Cupcake pans are great for sorting little items while creating.
5. Suitcases look nice, fit on top of high shelves or stack on top of each other, and they keep contents dust free.

They hold a lot, as well.
6. Scissors with decor = FABRIC ONLY!!

Save your sharp fabric scissors! Tie a fabric strip (Fabric strips again! See my obsession with them in my previous posts.) or yarn to the handle.
Let it be known that these are for cloth ONLY!
