[@HeatherHunterJ]

Your honest approach is SO appreciated 🙌 thanks for being so real Mrs. Maker

[@JenniferMaker]

I appreciate that, Heather! I try very hard to do just that! Thank you for noticing! 😍

[@brendatenge6400]

I feel like I'm in your shoes! I buy, buy, buy, bring it home and just plop it on my work table! I finally started today organizing and I can see my work table now. I am a big scrap booker and haven't been able to do any scrapbooking because of soooo much other things going on....but I am determined to get started as soon as the room is organized. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@JenniferMaker]

You got this!

[@michelebarrows2442]

I saw the "Flower Center" of your paint holder at a home store last week and thought...what did I need that for??? I LOVE that! This video made me fall in love with you even more! 2 tips...I use the tiny elastic ponies that come in a package of 100 or so from Dollar Tree, and I wrap those around cords to shorten and straighten them, elastic ponies around my spools of thread and Mason jars with the lids screwed to the bottom of a shelf. Two of my easy organization tips! ;)

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you for the tip! 😃❤️

[@suzum.9713]

I loved your idea of storing spray paint in the shoe organizer!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@jacquelinezoccolillo9808]

It makes me feel so much better to know that even bigger craft rooms get cluttered 😍 Thank you for keeping it real

[@JenniferMaker]

They do...especially when you use them! LOL

[@lucianapaes4183]

I loved the trick, when you opened up the camera I felt just like home lol. Now I will follow the rest of the video to see if I can organize and help myself. Thanks for sharing

[@JenniferMaker]

Aww, I'm glad you felt that way! Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@nans969]

I'm glad you let scraps go. I used to save every little scrap. When I started my organization quest in October, one of the things I gave myself permission was to discard scraps. I rarely used them. I only save scraps post card size or bigger now. That was very liberating. Because, throwing out scraps is kid of a paper crafters Taboo. I did get my room done in 14 days of starting. It was a great help that I joined your FB group. So, thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Thanks for being here! Isn't it true how much we hold onto that just holds us back? YAY for getting rid of scraps! :)

[@nans969]

Lol it wasn't easy.

[@wendyhart8711]

Thank you for giving me “permission” to throw away my scrap pieces of paper. 😊. I have all of these pieces of paper in my craft room that I’ve saved because I don’t want to waste anything. But I know darn well I will never use them. Today they go in the trash! (No recycling in my area)

[@riechanster]

You can always make little packages and give the larger scraps away

[@dinav2052]

Oh my gosh, I definitely need to do this. My room is a disaster. It can start out clean but by the end of crafting...disaster. Then not getting it cleaned up after stresses me and I tend to put off doing projects because I don't want to tackle the mess. Thanks for inspiring me. I'm going to try to tackle it this weekend.

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it, Dina!!

[@bkkorner]

You did an awesome job,Jennifer! It looks beautiful!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bkkorner]

​@@JenniferMaker😁

[@familybaker6391]

I love Jennifer Maker ... you are sooo real!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@rachelgarnsey2430]

Good to know your human and make a mess. Your videos always look to neat and clean.

[@JenniferMaker]

So nice of you

[@lindaross2221]

I donate my scrap paper and craft items I no longer use to my neighbor who works at a charter school. She loves it.

[@JenniferMaker]

That's perfect! Bet the school loves them! :-)

[@makebanegron6617]

I really love your videos! You are like the female Bob Ross of Cricut Crafting, and I LOVED me some Bob Ross. Your spirit is just so relaxed and you are vwry inspiring! TY!

[@laurab9391]

Would love a detailed tour of your craft room and see how you organize all the little stuff too. Thanks Jennifer, love your channel!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much for watching! :)

[@DMB56]

I laughed so hard. The look on your face at 411 jut cracked me up. Both me and my 92 yo mom are hooked on your videos. Thanks!

[@JenniferMaker]

Sometimes my face betrays me, Denise! I'm so glad you like my videos, and warm greetings to your mother! 😊

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

This is kind of what my craft room looks like, the before, and never as nice as the end. Thanks for sharing, it is inspiring. I need inspiration.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@RyeCW]

This is the best video ever. I love that you shared your "real" craft room and motivated so many people to organize their craft room.

[@kimberlyanndesigns1]

My craft room looks like yours at times. Organizing is freeing and puts me back in the mood for crafting. Thank you. Great video.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! 😍

[@wild-radio7373]

THIS is what I really needed this morning ❤👍

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! I'm happy it helped inspire you! 😊🌻

[@mojo2613]

OMG, I just love you! Here I thought you were 'perfect' but turns out you're just human! Lol. Your craft room is amazing... If mine was that organized to begin with, it'd be easier to clean up. Love this!

[@cydni27]

I love your craft room! The color scheme is so relaxing, not busy where it is a distraction. Thank you for the tips.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome, Cydni! I do love my crafting space! 😍

[@emilydecarlo9433]

your craft room is a DREAM !!!

[@JenniferMaker]

It was a long time coming, but I sure do love it! :)

[@cmhorton]

I definitely have the "should I save or purge, (SAVE IT) problem" I know I can and probably will replace rather than dig it out (if I can find it!). Now it's my turn to dig into my craft stuff and purge what I really don't need and give everything left behind a home of its own.

[@JenniferMaker]

I agree! Time to give everything a home of it’s own! 💖

[@sherrieray3360]

You're outfit is so happy, i love it!

[@bethcormier9459]

Jennifer Maker, who would have thought YOU would have a messy scrap room?!?! Not me! Thanks for sharing what your scrap room looks like sometimes in "real life" when it needs to be cleaned; we all have been there many times. It makes me feel good to know that even you sometimes let things pile up! Enjoyed your video; now back to organizing my own scrap room.

[@JenniferMaker]

Oh thank you! Yes it does get pretty messy!!

[@cfitzusa]

The shoe holder is a good idea!

[@vickymcmahon8121]

Wow.. to have all the storage would be wonderful. Beautiful.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@elsieblakley2381]

I love the butterfly curtains

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you, Elsie! 😍

[@kellymiller1446]

My husband just finished painting my craft room. Now its time to unpack the boxes! You have given me many great ideas and tons of inspiration. Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! That's wonderful!

[@createdbymo4u]

thank you...it's nice to know that I'm not the only one can craft and create a mess. :) Thanks for sharing your room.

[@JenniferMaker]

I think as creative people, it's just way too easy to make messes! :)

[@HeatherHunterJ]

In 9 months that I’ve been enjoying your videos my space has come a long way. Couldn’t have done it without You 💯❤️

[@JenniferMaker]

So glad to hear that! 😃

[@barbaranyhus2015]

THANK YOU. I am sitting here just laughing because I have the laundry basket and the empty boxes and the unopened boxes and all the scrap pieces from all the things. Fantastic. I am inspired to try to organize it. Wish I had all the cool storage things you have, but, I will make do with what I have.

[@JenniferMaker]

Haha! It's the worst when I let it all get out of hand! :) Good luck organizing your space!

[@sharonlewis5744]

I’m hooked on Cricut maker! Only had for 3 days. I have a lot to learn. Will be watching you a lot!

[@JenniferMaker]

Welcome, Sharon! I am happy to have you with us! You may be interested in our mini-course to get you started and comfortable! 😍 jennifermaker.lpages.co/love-your-cricut-mini-course/

[@stephaniem839]

Haha! I feel like my room does that after 1 project! 🤣😂 I’m constantly cleaning my craft room!

[@JenniferMaker]

Right?!

[@themisstra7708]

Miss Jennifer I love you and the real ness is great now I’m fine with my craft room. You are my new favorite person to watch. I’ve binged watched the last couple of days... stay beautiful

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much 😊

[@cajunq1958]

I loved this video. I have been looking at buying a storage building to put in my yard to move all of my craft items into one place and not the three rooms they are strewn into. This video is the inspiration I need to get moving on this plan.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my video inspirational! 😊

[@lauriemyers3]

I actually started organizing my craft room today! I also swept the floor first! I haven’t been able to craft since before Christmas because I can’t even get to my table much less work on it. I am not only cleaning but pulling all of my seasonal crafts to store away for a few months to free up some extra room

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Happy to hear this! ❤️

[@dawnamendola8690]

I am so envious Jennifer I do not have a room to turn into a craft room so I had to create a little space in my home where I can work and it's kind of in the open so it needs to be kept neat all the time I am an organized person and I love to organize my husband right now is going to convert our carport into a craft room for me but for now I have to stay in my little corner . I love to be put in the corner that is my time out my happy place

[@JenniferMaker]

Jennifer Maker than you i will check it out !

[@priya2cu]

Wow very inspiring and you did great jobs creating storage for your craft supplies 😍😍

[@forgetfulone923]

Thanks for sharing your craft room clean-up!

[@JenniferMaker]

My pleasure!

[@SparkleByMonica]

Lovely workspace. I'm so glad that you did the camera shift so we could see your "real" craft room before the cleaning began. As a fellow creator on KZbin...I had to giggle at that because I TOTALLY felt that! lol. Sparkle on!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

[@Enjoythepour]

Beautiful. I am just making a craft room. I have stuff everywhere. Goals!

[@JenniferMaker]

Go for it!

[@sherryy1743]

I love the little buckets on the peg board. Great idea. The paint bottle holder on the wall that is shaped like a flower is such a GREAT idea, and it adds to the wall decor. You have a pretty awesome craft room!

[@shariz2998]

Wow! Love your room and I realize this is from 3years ago, but I needed to see this today! Being a quilter, bag maker, and crafter-with smaller room- I frequently get overwhelmed working on multiple projects. I will get organized-again.😊

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! I am so happy to hear all of that! 🌸

[@carolgoebel1145]

I love your craft room. Beautiful. Your room is my favourite.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much, Carol!

[@mtblondie0036]

Just. Love you jennifer you are such am inspiration..its good to know you are just like the rest of us when it comes to getting into your crafting & keepin up on cleaning it up right away lol and storing right away also.. my sister and i are 5.5 wks new to cricut so we turn to you quite often lol..and thanks For the vinyl storage rack video my husband is gonna start making this today hopefully if he doesn't. Have to stay over for work (he's an electrician so he's essential uugh). He offered to build something for me so soon as he said tht im on it like white on rice i immediately showed him your video lol i love tht rack such a clever idea but mine has to be a little wider and taller some vinyls are 20x3-5ft & due to being new we bought so many different vinyls from different company's to see which we like best..so thank you you are just so sweet love ya jennifer keep making these video they are all so helpfully at least for us and i am sure after reading other ppls comments they are just as appreciative as we are..HAPPY CRAFTING JENNIFER !!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much, Melissa, and same to you and your family! 😍

[@fayejacobson2252]

Wow! Your craft room is beautiful!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!

[@petakucas7389]

I love the show holder

[@debbie-silvertrap5898]

I’m in pressed. I realize that you did this in time lapse video but I’m afraid it would still take me a lot longer. Great suggestions. You are correct that we are more creative when things are organized & clean. Just need to learn to clean up after each project. TFS ❤️

[@evettefernandez2749]

Absolutely LOVE your craft room!😍

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@karenharris4599]

Love, Love, Love!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks, Karen! 😄

[@ambernicolesaenz]

Lol i saw this and got up... I started to de-clutter. I also moved my little craft area space around. Still working on finding a place for some things. Thank you! You motivated me to get up! 😊

[@yvonnealvizo]

Great cleaning and organizing video!🤩 Really appreciate seeing your messy cluttered craft room, I don’t feel so bad about my own disaster area!🤣😂 Gonna start opening a few bags and shipping boxes to get me started toward a clean and organized craft room!💃🏻🎉Blessings my friend.🕊🥰🙋🏻‍♀️💜tfs

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! Go for it!

[@monacrafting2168]

wow! I am just getting into crafting. I doubt I'd ever get as involved as you have but damn your room is amazing! Right now I use my dining room table as my crafting surface. The table has a three shelf unit along the back (on the table) with all my craft supplies and another three shelf unit on the floor next to the table with all my 8yr olds craft supplies. We both take different paths with our creativity which is why we have our own "space" for supplies. Love your space! 😍

[@JenniferMaker]

:) Thank you!

[@naturallygifted2002]

Your craft room is beautiful.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@barbara1643]

VERY cool! Thanks for bringing me in

[@JenniferMaker]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

[@caroleanderson1106]

What an amazing craft room!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@miriamjeancharle6910]

Love it. Some great ideas 💡

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you like them! 😊🌻

[@nailsbytonya_legendlillys3113]

Most amazing craft room ever! 👍

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! I love my space!

[@PEPSIKERR]

I'm glad it's real. Looks beautiful. I think you shared some important info about making homes for everything. I think that's the hard thing, to figure out where things work best for each individual, no matter how big it small their crafty space is. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a nice day. Happy crafting.

[@bita3731]

That craft room is a wish 😍

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks! :)

[@laureenhara6992]

I love watching your videos. Your craft room looks amazing! I will probably include some of your ideas for storage for my room. I especially like your pegboard idea! Thank you so much for your very helpful and inspiring tutorials.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome! Thank you! 🌸

[@kendellvinot3717]

Cardboard boxes accumulate in my craft room too!!!

[@SurfaceAnthology]

Wow! What a difference and what an inspiration, I need to do this ASAP! 😆

[@JenniferMaker]

Go for it!

[@norinemueller4588]

You have such a great space. My problem is I have slanted ceilings so no wall space but still grateful to have a room

[@crochetloco1159]

You can take some cover Paper Towel Rolls with Contact Paper & cover your Cords with that. Love Your Crafting Space!

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great idea! ;-) Thank you!

[@user-cp1qb4ix4t]

Beautiful space!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! 😊

[@lorelynleisure4048]

Thanks for sharing your space and reality with us! Your craft room is amazing!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much for being here! :)

[@createinspain]

For anyone interested, I just made a storage system for my (almost 300) markers for under 10 Euros...and a video on how I did it. I prefer to spend money on supplies, not storage, so DIY it when I can! I can't work in a messy space, so tidy often. It's also good for inspiration, since I often find things I'd forgotten about:)

[@JenniferMaker]

Good point on keeping things organized! We know what we have, so aren't buying duplicates! 😀

[@lynneparker4136]

I loved this, it's refreshing to see your mess sometimes... I'd get it in my mind you was super tidy and organised. You've inspired me to clean up my craft space this weekend. Thank you for your honesty Jennifer.

[@JenniferMaker]

we can't always be picture perfect🥰

[@kelleyarcher3635]

I so needed this video motivation! I can hardly move in my room bc I've got so much stuff everywhere plus 2 large dogs sleeping right in the middle of the room. Time to kick out the dogs and get serious about my mess. I have so many ideas that aren't happening bc my craft room isn't functional.

[@tinawantt3381]

Such a cheerful room! I love your outfit, you look beautiful 😍👗👑

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww, Tina, thank you so much!! 😍

[@faodail3913]

Wow! I was so surprised by the real size and "mess" in your room. Thanks for sharing!!! This makes me feel a lot better and gives me hope that I can also get my mess tamed! Very inspiring and also some great storage ideas. The "twin towers" are awesome! Also storing scrapbook pads in drawers. Thanks so much!!!

[@cindyellis765]

Right now my craft room looks pretty much like your “before” and I have started to clean it out. You are so right it is so inspiring to have a nice neat area to work. When it’s a wreck I go there to create, take one look and say “I don’t want to go in there. I also need a big purge. You have really inspired me.

[@JenniferMaker]

Haha! Right? ALL of our craft rooms get out of hand sometimes! But it feels SO good when it's all put away and clean! :)

[@angelaterrazas928]

This vid was very satisfying.

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! :)

[@ronalee04]

Thank you for the inspiration to start organizing my craft room. The first step will be making the paper power tower and vinyl storage holder.

[@bernzweig12]

I just found you! So much appreciate your honesty, from one messy crafter to another - thanks for the inspiration to find the balance between creating with wild abandon and keeping the space neat enough to inspire more creating. 🙏🤗

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww..thank you! I believe in honesty most of all! 😊

[@laurastoos4921]

What a great space 🥰🥰🥰

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! :)

[@elsieblakley2381]

I wish I had those towers! They look great.!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks! You should make one! :) jennifermaker.com/craft-vinyl-storage-organizer/

[@melstampz]

Thank You SO much for the double table idea, Jennifer. Too brilliant for words & so affordable with my existing ikea tables! (I've doubled up lack side tables before, to make printer shelves and even put wheels on them to make a cart table, but I would never have thought of the extra layer between tables.) It's going to be heaven sent. Thank you times a million.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awe...SO happy to help! Sounds like you've got a space you're loving as well! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@tanyawilson6743]

You should do the "Jennifer what's your craftroom floor look like"? LOL I bet a lot of ours look the same hehe... I out grew my "New" Craftroom and Have a SHE SHED coming :D I can not wait!! I love your Organizing videos!

[@JenniferMaker]

Congratulations on getting a She Shed! 😃❤️

[@ellenbornstein7203]

that was satisfying, i can almost pretend that that just happened to my room.

[@stefanmitrovic973]

There are a few components to ways to declutter easily . One place I found which succeeds in merging these is the Nilah Declutter Tips (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the no.1 blueprint that I have ever seen.look at the great info .

[@naturallygifted2002]

Lol same here. I started cleaning mine today and about 1+1/2 hr I. I fold my hand a walked out to do something else. 🤫🤭. It’s still there.

[@junevivion2703]

I am nit even at this stage

[@CrazyFishyAshlee18]

Your craft room is my goal for when we buy a bigger house. I’m so jealous. It looks amazing

[@orionshomeproductions]

Thank you so much for this. I'm big on upcycled and repurposed crafts and I have such a hard time determining what is trash. I wish I had an actual craft room to contain the crazy but I actually have a craft house. I put a dining room table in front of my favorite recliner and I literally have my stuff everywhere including the kitchen cabinets because I have nowhere else to put it. This is certainly goals

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww..thank you! ❤️

[@MzRealtawk4lyfe]

I can't wait to build my craft room...my dream!!!

[@jendiloreto3144]

I love that you showed how real you are! Messy crafter but need and love organization at the same time! I'm new to cricut but not to crafting. I have so much stuff and got some great ideas from you to organize.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome, Jen! Yes, I am a messy crafter, but I do love it! 😍

[@katherineadamson9519]

Such a beautiful room

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! :)

[@laurasutton1551]

One of my goals this year is to organize my scrapbook room what i have is not working

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great goal, Laura! :)

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

You have a wonderful; work space, thank you for the inspiration to clear out an area.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!

[@mariaaguila577]

You are adorable! Thank you for your tips!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much! :)

[@sherriworonick2618]

Very satisfying seeing how beautiful and colorful you've made your craft room. You have excellent creative skills to make not only things have a home, you like to make their homes.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much Sherri!

[@stephv1202]

how inspiring! now my clutter is calling me🙄.....thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it!

[@janazavitz212]

Beautiful space!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! :)

[@mackinacdog]

Tfs. Wow you have an amazing space for crafting. I have a craft room but its not using all the space as adequately as your cr. I think I can get everything back in order now that you inspired me. I was feeling it was out of control after Christmas. So thanks, you were a great help.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awwww...thanks so much for watching! Glad you feel inspired!

[@nvargas48]

Love your craft room!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you! I, do, too! 😍

[@p.delfinglede5957]

Wow! Thank you Jennifer...you made my day happier and filled it with gentle hope :). You are amazing!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much for your sweet comment! :)

[@JailynJames]

This is the first video I've seen of you and I'm in love already. LOVE your outfit and your room is to die for. I finally convinced my husband we don't need a dining room so as soon as the holidays are over the dining room will turn into my craft room!

[@JenniferMaker]

How awesome is that, what a very supportive husband you've got there. Thank you for watching! :)

[@debbielee93]

Jamie, you are kidding me! I too am about to transform my dining room. But we will keep the dining space for dual purpose, I will have my desk also. I have been on the ikea site using the planner to lay out my room

[@lynneedwards9340]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! My craft room is a constant mess, I always think I'm the only one! It makes me feel much less lonely knowing that I'm not alone :) You've motivated me to have a go at cleaning my room today now, thank you :) xxx

[@wendykassir3214]

your craft room is awesome

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much, Wendy!
