Organizing My Craft Supplies

I am a firm believer in crafting with my children, also baking, cooking, and ideally *not* going to Ikea with them on a Sunday morning. I'm just saying, not that I've ever been that ridiculous...

So back to the point. Since I like to craft with my kids I usually share everything with them, but a few items need to be away from their reach, like sharp vinyl weeding tools (imagine your dentist's plaque scraper), paints, and anything I want to save. This obviously includes at least one bottle of glue, since the kid-friendly bottles get the lids all clogged up and stop working!



The before is just embarrassing. It's a plastic bag from Michael's.



Now there are two boxes, one for the vinyl for my new Silhouette Cameo,




and one for the adult craft supplies.


Random aside- do not open your vinyl cutting machine the morning of a birthday party, it will be really interesting to your children and you will fall way behind on party preparation!

  1. this cracked me up. same situation here. I had mine out this weekend and C kept asking if he could use certain things. Usually I don't mind but some stuff is just for mama! Not to mention it's not washable like their own paints.

  2. I too always craft with my daughter and my supplies are a mess. I never find what I need when I need it. You've inspired me to use the pretty pink containers I got at Target to good use!

  3. My home decor and craft storage is a hot mess. If I post a picture, will you still love me? LOL :)))) It is bad! You will feel like a craft queen when you see mine.

  6. My "before" looks like a michaels bag too! And my "after" is currently a michaels bag in a dedicated craft drawer. Total upgrade.

  8. apparently it is general consensous...no crafting when children are near. It only ends in delays and messes :-)

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I love hearing what you have to say! Sometimes I'm busy chasing after the three kids who can walk, or feeding the baby, but I promise, at some point I'll get back to you and head over to your blog (if you have one) to leave you a comment too:)
