18 DOLLAR TREE CRAFT ROOM ORGANIZATION HACKS & IDEAS

[@kathymiller101]

❤ This video is the most informative and helpful video I have seen in a very long time. I am about to organize my craft room and this is just perfect. Very awesome ideas especially for the paint. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You are a gem!🫶🏼

[@44alwaysrightjlp]

Sure wish they would make that E6000 tube into a container that is more user friendly. So much is wasted that you can't get out and it is so hard to squeeze and apply to the project.

[@pamsmith7289]

I found this glue, Beacon -Quick Grip All-Purpose contact cement. I don't need the hot glue. It holds, is weather, and water proof.

[@suesherwood2948]

I purchased a toothpaste "squeegie" to put on the end of tubes of glue...it works fantastic & gets every drop out!

[@stephanieritchey4961]

​@@suesherwood2948Where did you find the toothpaste squeezie? I've seen them on craft shows but have not come across any in the stores.

[@EffieG-ez9tf]

I have used a pencil or thinner object to wrap the lower part of the tube around so more of the glue is pushed toward the top. It’s not perfect but it helps.

[@DiywithButtacupsCreations]

I use the the toothpaste pusher too but it seems my E6000 tube always cracks at the bottle and it oozes out of that it’s so annoying!!

[@bernicesummerton9636]

There are so many good ideas in this video. I always see everyone struggling to squeeze the E6000 glue tubes. It might be easier if you get a toothpaste tube squeezer where you can roll the tube as it empties and use old paintbrushes or small silicone spatulas to apply the glue to the projects being worked on. Just a thought. ❤

[@crickett4877]

I use a little spatula type thing I got in the makeup section of DT to spread glue - so easy.

[@Wannabecrafting247]

Great idea!

[@BarbieHoni]

There are so many ideas she shares... I'm a first-time crafter and I have to use my bedroom 11x10.. Wish me luck

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Excellent tip! Thank you ❤

[@DollsandEverythingElse]

You really provided us with some useful craft storage solutions and I can’t wait to get to my dollar tree for my supplies. Thanks for sharing.

[@christys.5024]

Thaf paint brush holder fits perfectly in a large coffee can. Pur some pretty walpaper border around the can, or paint it. Make a beautiful brush holder

[@dawnsullivan6233]

You have fabulous ideas, but the basket is really beautiful

[@Dawns_Creative_Carousel]

Loving the video…. Also on the subject of spray paint, I am in the process of buying a paint spraying gun because then I don’t have to buy spray paint anymore! I can put acrylic, latex, water based (custom colors) and it doesn’t have brush marks! I have been down this rabbit hole for a minute 😂

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

I did the same a couple of years ago because I was using so much spray paint. I love love love my paint sprayer. Easy to use, easy to clean, and I can use it with any paint (interior, exterior, and even varnish finishes), and because it's thinned down, I get even more paint for my money. I have been painting everything in sight since 😂...I have a problem 😂😂

[@conishkee]

My craft room can use a facelift, so seeing this video will cause me to look at things @ the Dollar Tree very differently the next time I go. I am very inspired. Thank you!

[@AsheleeHaforlabe-oh2qc]

Thank you for sharing somethings that are practical and affordable! All DIYer's need to be able to be organized and I truly thank you for this.

[@kristicross5729]

I am in the process of setting up a craft room. This video was so helpful! Thank you!

[@dawnbowling771]

This is easily the best one of these videos I've ever seen. I have a pretty big shopping list for dollar tree tomorrow because I now have over a dozen new organizational methods to build!

[@michellegriffin1994]

A couple years ago my husband and daughter built me a craft desk and paint organizer for the wall in our laundry/media room for Christmas. The paint holder holds almost every thing I need including larger shelves at the bottom for my larger bottles of waverly and mod podge. I love it. It’s attached to the wall so it takes up no space and it’s colorized for ease of use.

[@crickett4877]

I'd love to see that - wall space I have, desktop space not so much.

[@robinmartin9840]

Hi! If you have some time, would you please post pictures of your craft table that was crafted just for you? Thank you! Robin TX

[@danellequick3622]

I second that. Would love to see your storage shelf. My craft closet is shared with the back of AC duct. Little desk space, more wall space. 😊

[@sherrybuit7814]

Organizing is extremely hard for me. You make it so simple. Thank you.

[@dorisgilman920]

I'm going to go and get me some of those DT's supplies so I can organize my craft room. Awesome ideas. Thank you

[@dianebinns9905]

This was really cool. I hope you make more like this! It was just depressing when you see these organizers. Oh throw out this or that. If you have two many. Well, I have a small business. I need more than just the regular crafter. Your video gave me hope. Thank you! 🎉❤

[@karennugent5827]

Love the top of the lazy susan shelf. I like the idea of getting to put paint on it. That can be for the paint you're using on your project .

[@aunt_b3365]

This is great. Do you have think you could have tilted the 3 hole storage containers just a bit so that when you pull out a paint bottle the others dont tend to fall out when you lull from the bottom?

[@sharonhill3530]

Love all these ideas...will be trying several for my craft room

[@StnFlwr]

I love craft organizing almost as much as {well, maybe more than 😁} the actual crafting. Fantastic ideas, sweetie!

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Ok, so I'm not the only one! 😂😂 Love it!!! 😍😍😍

[@nancygillman4029]

I'm just starting to get over whelmed with all supplies I have so this came in handy for me thank you

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

Loved using a pillowcase to line the basket.

[@danellequick3622]

I use pillowcases on my outdoor bistro tables too! So easy to cover and remove for cleaning.

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

Wonderful storage ideas. Thank you!!!

[@Jeweloffaith129]

You came up with some great storage solutions on a budget! Thank you for sharing! 😊💕👍🏼

[@marlaalexander1935]

I love that caddy

[@Freddybender123]

Great ideas!!..I bought 8 of those cutting mats and duct tape them together on the back side..made it a much bigger mat

[@lisanitzsche4352]

Holy crap that's a really good idea. Do you ever have issues with a cutter going haywire when it hits a seam?

[@Freddybender123]

@ thanks!..no I just watch the Seam

[@lindasapp5726]

All of your ideas were creative and had a lot of organizational ideas with a professional look

[@CookingTrolley]

It would be nice if she credits the original creators. I see most of the ideas she said she came up with are copied from other creators. There is nothing wrong to copy but at least give a shout out or credit where credit is due. I feel bad for those who spent time in conceptualizing, doing trial and errors, filming, editing, and then finally uploading but only for others to copy and claim them as their own. Sad part is the copycats often garner more views and revenue than the original creators because copycats like this one does the compilation, which is longer.

[@DaisysDay]

Love your craft caddy. I use a lazy Susan too, but never thought of making it double decker. Looks like I have a project in my future, lol. One suggestion for the top caddy: use some 1/2”;or 3/4 “ elastic to prevent bottles from flying off. Glue edges to the paint brush caddy legs. That gives you three elastic sections. Keep on crafting!

[@nagalakshminagu2958]

Very cleverly arranged your craft room congrats

[@MyrtleMert]

Great ideas! By the way, the knot you tied is called a granny knot. It is very similar to a square knot but easier to untie. A square knot is tied right over left and then left over right (or vise versa). A granny knot is tied right over left and then right over left again (or vise versa).

[@kimherben7866]

Square knot holds and Granny knot doesn't.

[@beckysmith7142]

Square knot, " right over left and left over right," from my Girl Scout days.

[@timmelindastanton5971]

You are an angel!!! I've been trying to organize my craft room on a budget, and this video knocked it out the park with ideas! Womqn, You Rock!! My next Major problem is how to store, YET, display ribbons?? I've tried making a few dowel type stands, but not doing well 🙃!! So please HELP if ya can!! Thank you so much!! Melinda from Maine!!

[@williamhaynes1367]

Now I know how to display my paints so I know what colors I have. Thank you!!

[@janjones4772]

A lot of nice ideas, really like your ideas. Thanks for sharing.👍👍♥️

[@lucymar122512]

Beautiful dollar tree hacks

[@suzelizabeth]

Lots of great ideas! Thank you. I don't think I've ever seen so much acrylic paint in my life! Love it.

[@angelbearcreations_ks]

This is one of the BEST DIY organization videos ever!! Thanks so much for sharing! Just found your channel and really loving it. That basket in the end was adorable and perfect for gift giving. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing more of your content. 😊❤

[@ruthbesterman9497]

I always glue those paint brush holders together where they meet. I had a problem with them separating whenever I picked it up. So gluing it with E6000 worked great.

[@pearlrichardson4179]

I love the bucket, rope & pillow case DIY idea. That's genius!!! 🙂

[@Morgaine]

You are really creative! I got some great ideas and I can't wait to get to Dollar Tree!

[@nansnook3920]

Caddie project - In your caddie, are the containers big enough to place mini stamp pads in instead of the paint bottles? I've used the tops to separate smaller items in other types of containers. 2nd project - Are these deep enough to hold markers or paint pens? I would have taken a little more time to glue dots to the bottom of your paint bottles, swatched the bottoms, then put them in color wheel order. I also have a list I use by color order so I can replace it when out instead of forgetting. I can also trend what I use the most & buy more often. Therefore, I buy larger sizes to save $$$. I also put larger bottles of the paint on the shelf sitters glued 2gether side by side. I then made staccked shelves by utilizing the various sized crates glueing eack level together using different which ever side for different levels. I can easily see them. I also use jenga blocks along the edges to keep them from falling off when I take one to use. I very much liked your storage ideas, especially the hanging wall paint shelf. I will surely use the idea for my large paint tubes. Thanks it was fun to watch.😊

[@denisehood1874]

What great ideas!! Thanks for sharing❤

[@maryellenyork2819]

I prefer pull out drawers to spinning circles because space is used more efficiently, imo. Also, I organize my paints by grouping similar colors together: all blues, aquas, greens, yellows, etc.

[@katherinekelly5380]

Agreed! Great idea but couldn’t believe the paints weren’t organized as the caddy was loaded 🤷‍♀️

[@rebeccacamacho-sobczak4282]

When I do that, I also try to make a rainbow with them. It's fun for me!!!

[@swl9270]

I use wire cubes to store paint. Do not assemble to make a cube. Slightly off set the front panel higher than the back panel. A small piece of wood in between and secured with screws or long construction staples will hold them apart. Apply to the wall using your favorite method. The off set allows the paint to flow to the bottle top and keeps it from hardening. The slight tilt prevents them from falling out. I have around 75-100 bottles stored on four panels. Extra spaces hold my eyeglasses, scissors, brayers. Zip ties are used to secure baskets along the bottom as well as my repurposed tall and somewhat flat rectangle shaped trash can. The pencil containers she used in this video…I burnt a hole and bent wire to make a hook. Those too are hung on my rack system. Everything I need within four foot square space over my work bench. Hope this helps someone!

[@stelladooro4505]

I go for plastic boxes with straight sides. I keep the paint coloized and can carry the box anywhere.or slide it on a shelf.

[@katyoung_Katzillah]

@@swl9270would love a picture of the paint rack you described!

[@Wendy-WackyWomanCreations]

Wow so many creative ideas. The shelf on the shelf will be super helpful in my craft room. I love the paint brush holders, I actually put mini lazy susan bases on mine to make what is in them even more accessible

[@shirleykathan-sayess5764]

You are brilliant! I am so excited and inspired. I am organizing my studio, pantry, and garage at the moment and you have provided me with so many solutions! Thank you so much. ❤ Shirley

[@georgiao.m.m4316]

I loved ALL of your crafting storage ideas!! I'm considering moving my craft room from a now 2nd dining area to a small 3rd bedroom that has a really small closet. With your ideas, I think I can see some new ways to make fitting most of my craft furniture and supplies fit. Thanks for sharing.

[@ruthfinley3720]

I am so excited that I found this channel!❤ You have so many fantastic ideas!❤ so creative!❤ Thank you so very much for sharing all of these ideas!❤ (now to get a craft room to put everything in)! Yes I need a craft room… I have things here and there throughout my house. I will have a craft room one day! These ideas should help me get my things together!❤ Thank you!❤

[@angimag]

I love it! Thank you ❤️

[@MariaRomero-qc1hn]

I like it you did a wonderful DIY I love the pegboard I don’t own too many paints, but I enjoyed the craft catty

[@pennyhaase744]

That E7000 glue from Temu in small tubes make it great to work on small areas ! 🎉

[@MelissaLogan-d4m]

Dollar Tree has one that works just as good in smaller tubes as well

[@SJaneDearinger]

I love this idea!!!!

[@marley1392]

Melissa, I enjoy your videos so much!!! I also appreciate you taking the time to paint these pictures for us and teaching us your techniques. I never thought I would be able to do this at all!!! I hope that you will continue to show us new pictures in the new year. I pray You and your Family have a Wonderful and Blessed New Year!!! ❤ Much Love to You, Marley from Missouri

[@lucyswannsunsafespace7313]

I bought a bunch of those tall pencil things, mostly for dry erase marker/chalk storage, but I never considered connecting them. Brilliant! ☺ Putting everything back: also brilliant. Which is why I'm guessing I never get around to it! 😅

[@micheleparrish]

Love the craft paints storage. Mine are currently in bins and are hard to find the right colors when needed. I'm definately going to the Dollar Tree to find a new set up like yours. Thanks for sharing.

[@kimkirk-germany1987]

I love the project that you did with the pencil holders and I love love love, Heirloom Trad.paint!

[@Littlejourneysofcreativity]

hi i just came across your channel today, i loved all of your ideas, i'm on a limited income my sons ssi, and been looking for ways to organize my craft space, thank you so much for the video, and hi from utah :)

[@queenloadie]

You are so creative! Thank you for sharing

[@sheilagilleland4312]

This is such a great idea.

[@pamharkins4601]

I really needed these ideas.

[@tamalamozie5574]

I've never thought to use those bath salts in the shower.. nice!! I used to color all the time, and have many books. I'm going to have to pull them out and color . It definitely is relaxing!!! And you look adorable in that headband!! 😉😉👍😁👍🤗🤗

[@maureenschneider766]

I have been using the beacon glue 527. Love it. No smell and easy to use. plus no warnings on it about possible cancer etc like E6000

[@melodymoeller2780]

You could use foam tape or squares to stick them together. I find they stick very good to most items.

[@pamelahenderson3990]

I loving these all but my favorite has to be the organizers you made using the chargers. This is on my to do list, lol.. Thank u for all these incredible idea's.

[@cathyleonard2031]

Making one too. I just made a list of what I need. Lol

[@evettefernandez2749]

You should also glue the small square transparent boxes (from DT) around the paintbrush organizer. That way your paint bottles won't move when you rotate the diy.

[@dar4835]

Thank you for all of your ideas! May I suggest you use vinyl or nitile gloves when spray painting? There is also a trigger attachment that you can buy to put on top of the nozzle when spraying.

[@ruthjohnson7871]

I'm impressed with your imagination! Thank you for sharing these great ideas!!!

[@sherrybuit7814]

What a wonderful organizer

[@Kowthy06]

I love this video. You are so clever to come up with these ideas. I guess now I will HAVE to buy your book but still refer back to YT for ideas.

[@tiffanysmith2255]

Oh my gosh girl, this was by far the best organization, not to mention genius ideas on the cheap. No, I have seen probably in the last two years!! Great ideas. Thank you so so much for sharing. I’m a new subscriber count. Wait to check out your channel and other videos. I am ready to get to organizing, and I have all of those things in my shop / craft room… L O L Minecraft room used to be my hair salon, so I tend to say shop a lot. But seriously, I cannot wait to apply every single one of these methods to my space. They are so simple, but genius!! Love them all. !!

[@DouglasDrake-o8e]

Perfect timing!! My craft room is a disaster from the holidays. Great ideas I wouldn't have thought of.

[@jw8223]

They turned out well. Storage is always a good thing. The knot you tied on your rope basket is almost a square knot, but knot quite. What you tied is a granny knot-you went left over right and left over right-which makes it twist. A square knot goes left over right, right over left, and it lies flat and kind of, if you squint, makes a square shape.

[@nadiepoh21]

Great ideas if you are a paint crafter. Any ideas for organizing paper crafts? Paper, stickers, markers, etc?

[@Freddybender123]

Stickers I use a fabric folded up jewelry organizer has pockets

[@sheryllipschitz2772]

I think it’s awesome! If I could make a suggestion… you could use some containers or plastic plant pots into the sections with your color pencils and markers so they don’t fall down.

[@michelemorgan6176]

I absolutely love your craftiness! On the 1st item u made. I would probably change 1 thing, I think that living in a tiny home has made me see things that others may not, so I would just push the center (bottom shelf) boxes closer together because there's wasted space in the middle that can't b used at all. Other than that, it's awesome! I love all your ideas and plan on implementing a lot of them! TYSM for sharing your crafts!

[@estherthebeautiful1946]

Thanks for the dollar tree peg board. You are the first I’ve seen showing it painted with a gold like frame. And never knew they have shelves. I can use that in my small kitchen space. WOW.

[@swl9270]

Or add a jar to the center for the brushes and skip the second lazy Susan deal.

[@danellequick3622]

I think their distance helps keep the top and bottom balanced and supported better. You could use the center space if you wanted to lay tools horizontal across and through the middle. Stack pens or markers or something.

[@oi812NM]

I’d better get started putting my dollar tree stuff away! Thank you, but it’s a reminder that I’ve spent a lot and I need to get rid of a lot.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@judyross182]

I liked the napkin paint holder since it's portable. Did you think about zip-tying both rings to the paper towel holder at the same time?

[@jaysylvain1760]

I love your ideas, their good for my best friend who has so many supplies! I shared it with her. So thank you!

[@christinewrightington7098]

So MANY clever ideas! Thank you!

[@janjones4772]

Everything is fantastic, I love them all, I’m going to use some if not all of them can hardly wait. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING WITH US. 👍👍18 times just great. ♥️♥️

[@roheis]

Thank you for some great ideas! Anything that helps me organize my craft area is awesome!

[@Okie-Girl]

These are great !! Are these your ideas? I was wondering if a shelf could be made using the long dollar tree signs, like the one u used for a base under the paint organizer ? Couldnt hold much weight but could even double up. 😊

[@shelbyw5431]

Absolutely love them all! Will definitely be doing the first one ASAP!! TFS ❤

[@teresanegron6045]

Love that caddy

[@Nwladylaura369]

That’s a lot of paint you have! I will try a few of your ideas soon. Too much mess right now to know what I need.

[@christyharrison2277]

The paint brush holder can also be used for ir pens, pencils, even forks spoons and butter knives

[@aprilbaker-coombs4838]

Love that organized craft room!

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Just a little tip when you’re attaching all of these little compartments together, maybe you can use the little tiny clamps they sell at the dollar store

[@lindabradford9591]

The paintbrush holder she used also holds 49 cricut pens so the tips are down. I have 2 of them. Great video! Thank you for sharing!

[@momzillapearson9637]

You’ve given some Great ideas…Thanx-a-Bunch!

Hey there! Just wondering if you need to wear a respirator for the e6000?

[@lizettecruz8851]

Thank you everything is beautiful

[@patriciadolphin4161]

For storing small items i use a herb storage thing that spins very useful.

[@roxis5539]

You most certainly have a well organized and beautiful crafting space. Thank you for sharing all of the ideas.

[@sandrahayes9578]

I love them all! My favorite is the caddy at the beginning and I'm going to make the one you hang on the wall for my sister!
