While it’s easy to organize your Etsy shop, organizing your craft supplies should not be difficult as well, nor does it have to be expensive.
If you’re a handmade artist and like to be creative, chances are the materials and supplies that go into your hobbies have stacked up over time, and not in a tidy way.
It’s time to spark that creative energy with an organized craft room.
Here’s how to regain a bit of control and find what you need, when you need it.

A great solution to keep your push pins, beads, paper clips, rubber bands and other supplies is to use an ice cube tray. You can get these at any store for about $1 (for 3 of them).By Realsimple.
2. Craft Ribbon Dispenser
A nice way to keep those ribbons organized is to get a small plastic basket – the kind with holes in it. Just insert a wooden or plastic dowel rod that fits from one end to the other. Now, put your ribbon spools on the rod and poke the end of the ribbon through the holes in the basket. By Minimozblog.
