The BEST Craft Storage and Organization Ideas

In today’s post: Need to tidy up your craft room? Check out all these craft storage and craft room organization ideas.

After the holidays are over, there’s nothing more satisfying than getting the house organized! Ok, that’s not completely true. Curling up with a really good book and eating ice cream is actually way more satisfying than spending hours organizing…but I have to admit, I LOVE how it feels once the organizing is done.

I usually blame my kids for the mess at our house, but there is one area where I have to take the blame: my craft room. It’s just hard to keep a room with SO MANY craft supplies tidy. Today I’ve gathered the best craft storage and craft room organization ideas I could find to help us all get organized.
