Crafting Dilemma

I love to make things.

I make things a lot.

This is my question.


How do you make these cute things...

and these...

without making this???

and this..??..

I really need some organizing ideas.

Ideas for a tight budget, but cute too.

Any inspiration??

.....Help

    I have the same Problem Joy...I have decided that it comes down to having a craft space...that is not on a desk in our bedroom or on the kitchen table...so right now I just have to give up. If you have a craft space it can be okay for it to be a little messy (in my opinion) but not if its your kitchen table you end up having to clean it up before your finished cause its dinner time or because the little ones are going crazy with your paper....ew it is a loose loose

    I've seen people use shoe organizers like this http://www.walmart.com/ip/Honey-Can-Do-24-Pocket-Over-the-Door-Shoe-Organizer-in-Black/14920205
    to store things in. Might work for a lot of the supplies, and they are all tucked away but easily found.

    Or maybe something like this could organize your paper and supplies and keep it out of sight but easily accessable.

    Or you could find somethig like this

    that you could wheel around without having to take everything out. It gets very overwhelming, I know!

    I think this is a cute idea too, for all the little scissors and punches and adhesives,

    I've even seen them attached to the wall with magnets so they are out of the reach of little hands.

    Also, just google "craft storage ideas" or "scrapbooking storage" and you'll see some pretty creative stuff.

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll come up with something great!
