Wahoo, Happy New Year - 2012! Are you ready? Because it's time to get ORGANIZED!
Yesterday I cleaned and organized my craft closet which had accumulated a ton of crafting supplies over this last year. So I thought I'd share my original post on how I created this fun storage space with simple dollar store storage bins! Check it out...
I am lucky to live in a home with plenty of storage space. Our kitchen alone has a large walk-in pantry, a small wine room the hubby built with wine storage above and cabinets below, and yet another pantry closet perfect for smaller kitchen appliances.
However, this third closet space had become a clutter magnet for both kitchen accessories and craft supplies we've accumulated over the years. So I made the decision to re-organize everything and dedicate this entire closet for craft storage! My inspiration for this project were fun, colorful storage bins I snagged from the Dollar Store. Yup, 10 one dollar bins got this project started. Then I found 2 $6 bins from Target, and $22 later...this closet came to life with organization and vibrant color! Here it is finished:
Below are the fun storage bins I bought from the Dollar Store! Their small sizes are perfect for art n' craft supplies. I still need to pick up one more!
And every good craft space needs storage for gift bags and wrapping paper! Here I repurposed this ice bucket as a storage bin for wrapping paper!
Aren't these little chalk boards cute? Yup, there just for fun!
This project was fun, easy and only took a couple of hours to complete. Now my kids and I have a craft closet that's organized, functional, and just fun!

I use storage containers everywhere not just in a closet, love em! I have a bunch of the clear type. Stacking isn't an issue because you're able to see what you need before going through each container.
Here's a great idea for houses with small kids that are unable to read: Add sticky labels with pictures on them to each storage container. This will let the younger children help with cleanup.
