We are about to start a massive sewing project - and last year the needles ended up all over the place. I love the needle in a cork hack - THANK YOU

[@theartofed]

We're so glad it will be helpful!

[@marlenasmith2599]

Separating and creating your own palette is great!

[@theartofed]

🙌🏼

[@jennifergiemza8219]

these rea excellent - can't believe I never thought of the watercolor cover/ hot glue idea!!!

[@theartofed]

Isn't that a great hack?!

[@mrs.gardnersartists]

And the hot glue isn’t permanent so you can pop them off and glue on new ones when they run out!

[@user-en4qj8ei1v]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@theartofed]

You're welcome!

First comment! I’m setting up a craft kitchen for my daughter and these tips great!!! Thanks!

[@theartofed]

That sounds like fun. Glad the tips were helpful!

[@mrs.gardnersartists]

A craft kitchen sounds great! Thanks for watching 😊

[@michellebell2283]

I don't have a degree in art. I kinda wish i did. Its beautiful. Its been 1 year of since ive managing the art supplies at a playground. Makes me happy to provide art space to the Kids in the community. So my job asked me to make a proposal and run a scheduled art Class once a week along with all the other days i may choose to leave supplies out. And I was just thinking. Mannn I need better organized and efficient ways to shopping for supplies to make them. Last. And storing them. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@theartofed]

That's wonderful that you're providing art to kids in your community! We hope these videos are helpful to you and give you tons of ideas. Also, check out Run the Art Room for more organizational ideas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKLSeoGFocdnnbM

[@theartofed]

[@mrs.gardnersartists]

Thanks! So many possibilities with the palettes!

[@Offred]

These are so clever - thank you!!

[@theartofed]

🙌🏼

[@kellyparkerdesigns]

Great ideas! I will be using several of them.

[@theartofed]

Awesome!

[@mrs.gardnersartists]

Thanks! Glad they are helpful.

[@user-ht9jq6gq5v]

Really loved the sauce bottle being the paint dispenser idea! may I suggest opening it for restock by taking the spout side off. I work at a restaurant and sometimes squeeze the bottle while closing it, with the spout side down the contents get all over the place

[@theartofed]

Good tip!

[@ItsMrsLomac]

🤯 This is all really great info, I wish I found this sooner ‼️ Thank You All‼️☺️👩🏾‍🎨

[@theartofed]

Glad you finally found it! These three teachers are a wealth of knowledge.

[@kathiefleming2830]

Very helpful

[@theartofed]

Great!

[@user-kp5ys2fp2x]

These ideas are so helpful! I wonder if you have an example of a sign out sheet/ procedure related to the sharps?

[@theartofed]

A sign out sheet is a great idea to help keep track!

[@kateisaacson4766]

Do the canvas clay boards get washed at all? Are you worried about a build up of clay dust? We usually have a bunch of canvas board acrylic paintings left behind at the end of the yr. If I gesso (or do something over them) could they be reused for clay?

[@theartofed]

Typically, when you wedge clay, it will pick up all the clay residue left on the boards! It's almost like self-cleaning! It needs to be ungessoed canvas though.

[@learningwithmrs.sandin9076]

Hi, What other materials you can use instead of canvas for clay boards?

[@theartofed]

Unprimed canvas, drop cloths, or plaster works well!

[@kathyb7193]

Great ideas! Just a suggestion for future videos: lower the volume or eliminate the music filler (behind the speakers). Music is fine, but the whistling is very distracting. Thank you.

[@theartofed]

Good to know. Thanks for commenting!

[@robinsartsandcrafts6500]

I want affordable tube watercolor bulk for teachers

[@theartofed]

Don't we all? That sounds like a dream!
