Craft Room/Office Makeover: How I set up and organized my craft room/Office

[@Knitnana]

Keep the yearbooks. I’m 63. A couple of years ago, with the help of my yearbooks we had a “girls reunion” of my elementary school friends. These things might not fit “KonMarie” but in my book, your history is important, when you get to be my age, you’ll be glad you kept them!!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I LOVE the idea of having a girls reunion :) I am happy to report I have kept my yearbooks...I really don't think I could part with them even if I tried!

[@mariaaguila577]

Sallee Ebbett yes!!!!!

[@mrs.diannalynn1383]

Oh yes keep them, I lost mine years ago and cry when I think of them now at 60 years old I still miss them. Sallee Ebbett is so right.

[@vonnie4781]

Sallee Ebbett Absolutely!!! Keep them. You.’ll be sorry if you don’t. My kids love to see that part of my life.

[@sandrinekirkaldy1900]

Sallee, I completely agree with you. And what is the point of a year book if you don't keep it?

[@kimhuff]

I'm 57 years old and I still have all my yearbooks. Definitely keep them. I know when I'm gone, my daughter will probably like having little things like that. My mom died in 2008 and although she didn't have a yearbook, I was given a lot of her sorority things which I will always treasure.

[@ariel393939]

Big improvement. Moving the dinning room table was a great ideal. It really opened up the room and created more working stations in the room . I hope you kept your year books. Not all memories have to go away.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Yes! Thank you! Work Stations makes all the difference!

[@JillianNorwood]

I agree with everyone’s comments about yearbooks. Our history is so important and meaningful. Lovely makeover! Enjoy your newly reorganized room! 💓

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I totally agree! I have kept the yearbooks....still looking for a better way to display them. :)

[@karenjohnson4252]

I graduated in 1967. My yearbooks remind me I really was young. They rekindle that youthful feeling and good memories. KEEP THE YEARBOOKS!!!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Yes! Definitely keeping the yearbooks :) Keep an eye out for a video posting soon about a yearbook challenge!

[@essentiallyleigha]

I am just the opposite of the previous comment to mine...LOL...I'm 48 and tossed my school yearbooks a few years ago. I did keep my Senior yearbook, just so I would have the names and faces for reunions and such, but otherwise....gone. And I've not missed them not one single day! I would LOVE to have an entire room dedicated for crafts and projects. Loved this video!

[@Sketchbook999]

Yes I'm back folks! I am READY Universe. Thankyou for this video. God bless You All. What FUN people Artists Crafters are. PEACE NOW LOVE NOW FRIENDSHIP NOW Thankyou Universe. I AM READY

[@barbarasisk3518]

Keep the year books. Great to reminisce plus when you are older nice to go back through them.

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I am retired. I still have my high school yearbooks. About 4 years ago I start working with a woman who was one year younger than me. We both went to the same school, but didn’t know each other. Sure enough, I found her in my yearbook. We had much fun with this at work!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Oh my goodness, that is so wonderful!!! I love this story! I will definitely keep my yearbooks. They are stored nicely on my shelf :) I hope you have a great weekend! Thank you for being a part of this channel, I"m so glad you're here! Lori

[@christmascrazynanna8217]

I don't have a dedicated craft room yet, so I use my dining room table to craft and pull out my bins, then pack away...it's tiring ..it isn't ideal but I need to find an area in my house so that I can enjoy my craft anytime .. I love Christmas, so I decorate baubles..it's very satisfying...I like the way you found a home for everything and everything in its place..well done

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much, Pat! I am so happy with the space and so grateful for it. Before I had my space, I used a desk I bought at Target that had a little hutch on it. It helped to keep things organized. And I thought about putting fabric on the edge of the desk with velcro to cover the bins I stored under there. I thought about buying one of those desks that looks like an armoire, too.

[@lauraann7816]

I just tuned in and enjoyed it and co hope to Heaven you kept your yearbooks. They are such a key to our past - part of our history. I just went through mine with my 6-year old Granddaughter, and she loved seeing old photos of me and my BFF literally since birth who is a big part of her life too now.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I will definitely keep the yearbooks...I just always feel so bad that they just sit there. I do really enjoying looking through them, though. How nice that you and your BFF have stayed BFFs and have become family!

[@lauraann7816]

Yes are moms were pregnant together, and 57 years later we still live half a block away from each other. Her grandson is exactly my Granddaughter 's age and they do everything together. I am now a Subbie and look forward to future videos 😍

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I agree with the comments below regarding your yearbooks. Keep them by all means. It’s always fun to look at them as you get older. They are in a sense your first scrapbooks! You might want to consider some shelves on the walls to expand your work area and storage space.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Cindy, I'm definitely keeping the yearbooks :) I'm posting a video soon about a yearbook challenge, I hope you take it on with me!

[@heartjoy]

i graduated in 1973 - I've recently started talking to an old high school boyfriend who still lives in my hometown & when he's talking about people that I forgot who they were - I can look them up! Plus they will be fun to show your grandkids! KEEP THEM!

[@KDVoller]

I have my yearbooks and my grown kids and grandkids have a blast going through them.. I graduated in 78 and we have lost so many classmates and it’s fun to go back and reminisce see what they wrote..At 6;22 it looks like the remote is on the desk directly behind you.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I will definitely keep the yearbooks, Karen :) I'm actually posting a video soon with a yearbook challenge, I hope you will join the fun with me! And thank you for the remote info! I'm so glad I found it. I had tucked it in a little organizer and it fit right beneath some papers, so I could not find it at a glance. Thankfully I reached for those papers and found the remote! Now I keep note of its every move! hahaha

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Awww! Thank you for that compliment! This room has been evolving for years! And believe it or not, I made some additional changes! Maybe I’ll post that over Thanksgiving break 🤔 IKEA and Target have been my go to’s for craft room furniture because I can buy one piece at a time and not break the bank!

[@TexasLady]

It’s been a few months since you did this video but about the yearbooks; I’m 57 and I still have mine from 1st thru 12th. We did not have Kindergarten then. They would be clutter in my house or sewing room so they are in the storage. But yes I kept them.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Hi Deidre! I feel the same way about them taking up space in my craft room, and I cannot part with them :) I kept them, so they still sit on my bookshelf. Thank you for being here!

[@christinenelson8949]

Do it on a dime is awesome!!! I kept my 8th grade middle school yearbook and my Sr year from high school and got rid of the rest. That's just me but I never look at them. Gold Canyon candles are the best. Autumn walk is my favorite scent.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I love her channel! It's so inspiring! That's a great idea about 8th grade and sr year yearbooks. I don't look at them often, but I'm just so afraid one day I might regret getting rid of them. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't so bulky to store :) I love autumn walk!! The holiday scents are my favorite. Pumpkin Berry Spice Cookie has been my go-to these past couple of years.

[@lisaharvey4740]

I would mount the tv on the wall so you have that surface area to use. Room looks great. I’m getting ready to do mine and I’m checking out videos and procrastinating. Lol

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Have you tackled your room, Lisa? I would count the video watching as research :) I thought about mounting the tv on the wall, but I move my rooms so often, I"m afraid of putting holes in the wall!

[@lisaharvey4740]

Yes. With some temporary shelves. I still can’t make up my mind if shelves will be better or cubes. I love the look of cubes but feel like they would be limiting. How do you like yours?

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I'm glad you're working on your room :) I love the flexibility of the cubes, specifically how deep the cubes are. I bought the threshold cubes from target, so they fit up to 13x13, which is perfect for my scrapbook pages. I also bought some of the cube organizers to place a shelf or two in some of them. That helps make them more functional. I have also seen people buy organizers that fit inside the cubes, but I haven't done that. I mainly use magazine holders and the bins. I don't love the bins as much because I don't see everything, so I tend to forget about it. Plus it's hard to keep things organized in the bins. But for bulk items, it keeps them organized and out of the way.

[@marilyncooper4846]

Your video was in the recommended ones on the side of the screen. And it was quite enjoyable. I -LOVE- the Do It on a Dime channel! She's amazing and inspirational. And as for yearbooks, Hubby and I still have ours, and we graduated high school in '83, and college in '87. (Yup, we're old! LOL!) But I keep it in a tote in our storage room. They'd just take up space if I kept them out. They wouldn't get viewed enough to justify it. But I can't part with them either. Nice job with your room! It looked bigger when you got it all put back together. Altho, for the record, your room didn't look at that messy to me. We all have our own ideas about that. Thank you!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Marilyn Cooper I’m so glad you clicked on the video! Thank you for being a part of my KZbin journey :) I LOVE Do It On a Dime...her channel is one of my favorite channels! She’s so creative and inspiring! I’m glad to hear I”m not the only one who cannot part with my yearbooks! I only glance at them a couple of times a year, but they’re a great reminder of how much I’ve changed and grown over time. They’ll always have a spot in my home...but I like how you keep them in a storage room. I may end up moving mine to our guest room.

Hello. I have been hearing and learning about the KonMari organization. Even though it is a great idea - i would never get rid of my year books from my school days. To me, those are precious memories just like photos. Thank you for sharing your video. I just revamped my craft room / home office. I did a before video but after i had already moved one organization cubicle/cubby. I want to start my own KZbin channel. Any suggestions on how to get started?

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I have to admit, I haven't yet moved onto the sentimental category of KonMari...and I may never get there! I am glad I have kept my yearbooks. I'd love to see your craft room and home office! Please let me know if you start a channel! I would love to support you! My suggestions would be to just start! What kind of channel do you want to start? I talked with my BFFs about my intentions and goals of the channel to bounce ideas around with them about the channel and what I should focus on. I was nervous at first and didn't want to tell my friends or family about it, but after I posted a couple of videos and received such kind messages from others, I felt more comfortable sharing my channel. I try to plan out my content, which helps to make sure I have an even distribution of topics. I just use my ipad or computer. Screencastify is a good app if you want to do tutorials and show the desktop. The toughest part for me has been planning time to edit. Recording is easier, but taking the time to edit has been the biggest hurdle for me. I have SO many videos to post, but need to edit them! So plan for that. I use my ipad and use iMovie to edit. I hope these suggestions helped! Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with :) Good luck on your channel and please keep me posted!

[@amywallace2508]

@@AmigoGiftCo - Thank you so much for the response and all the great suggestions. I'm somewhat crafty but my favorite at the moment is scrapbooking. I originally wanted to start a channel with scrapbook tutorials but after subscribing and watching tons of videos of my favorite channels, it feels intimidating as i feel i am not on the same level as most that i follow. However, i realized (yesterday), that i could probably do home diy's, scrapbooking, hauls for my vintage items that i sell on Etsy as well as have both of my sisters as a guest on a video once in a while. One of my sisters sews and makes lots of beautiful handmade quilts and just about anything that you can sew. She also has a pottery studio in her basement. She and i have an Etsy page where we sell vintage items. She also promotes her quilts and pottery on her own Etsy page separate from our joint page. My other sister does scrapbooking with me, but recently has been focusing on making cards which she sells at the car dealership that she works at. I was talking to the card maker this morning and told her of my idea and told her i wonder how you get people to subscribe. I wondered how do you start to get subscribers - did you start with your friends and family so that others will subscribe?

With the leaves out of the table and it turn cross-ways in the room maybe you will have a camera setup area on the floor stand adjustable at any height focused on any area in the room you like. All the feelings you talked about your yearbooks means you need to keep them. I understand that other crafters' ideas are good for them but you have to find what is good for YOU. Your room is you, great! VHH

Catherine on don’t on a dime is great! I’ve watched her for years. Also if you want someone else to watch that’s also great with organizing check out Cassandra Arisen from Clutter bug. She even has her own organizing television show. I love her show. These are two of my favorites to watch.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Yes! I love them both! They’re so inspiring and creative 😊

[@Sincity702ish]

I am a new subscriber. This video inspired me to redo my office once again.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

AWWW!! YAY! I'm so glad you were inspired! How did your office turn out? Don't you love a new space where you know where everything is?

[@Sincity702ish]

Gizmo and Gadget it’s a work in progress. The flow is so much better.

[@audreyyoung5154]

I have my hands full with remodeling a whole trailer so we have been moving things around I have a shed that is too cold for me to craft in but it is mine so I have craft stuff out there and then in my bedroom plus I have craft stuff in my old trailer that I have to move yet oh what fun it is not

[@francessteadman5640]

Keep the yearbooks! Some of your classmates are probably long forgotten, but the ones who you remember will warm your heart to see again.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Yes!! I will definitely keep the yearbooks! I have been so inspired by everyone's comments about the yearbooks, I'm posting a video soon with a yearbook challenge :)

[@margd9152]

I wish I had that space. Its beautiful and bright

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much, Marg. I am so grateful to have this space in our home.

[@stitchann]

Your room looks great.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much, Debra. :) Thank you for being a part of this channel. Lori

[@victoriapalmer5146]

Wow you're finish room is very beautiful and impressive...... Should I admit I'm a little jealous 😂😁😊😁

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much, Victoria! It's taken a long time to get here, and I'm so proud of my room. :) I'm so glad to have you here on the channel!

[@ScrappinJenny7]

Great process video on getting your room put together. Would love to see a more in detail video of how you organize your room. I still have my yearbooks even from elementary school, they just sit in a closet, but every now and then I like to look at them. my mom still has all her yearbooks, so I say keep them 😊 Tfs

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it :) I'm glad you mentioned a detailed video, because I was just considering whether I should do one or not. What should I focus on first? Scrapbooking materials, general craft supplies, vinyl or fabric?

[@shirleycorrie5678]

Where did you get the tote s and the case?

[@jamievillanueva3456]

Your room looks great!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much, Jamie! I am so happy with it! Be sure to check out the updated video...I made a couple of adjustments and now it's a fantastic set up!

[@kimbontrager9456]

YES.....Keep your yearbooks!!!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Definitely will always keep the yearbooks! :)

[@andreaalmanza385]

Can you please tell me what size your beautiful craft room is?THX!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Awwww! Thank you for the compliment. The room is close to 10x10, but it doesn’t have a door and I think that makes it feel bigger.

[@thecrazylifeandtimesofacra2629]

i turned my dining room into an eat in pantry and now im turning my office into my office/craftroom gotta love dual purpose rooms i also have a gameroom/dressing room too lolol

[@AmigoGiftCo]

OMG I love this!!! I want to see pictures, I bet this turned out so cool!

[@cleocat562]

Where did you get the Cubbies and the baskets that fit in them?

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Cleo Cat I bought the cubbies from Target. It’s the threshold brand. And the bins are from Target, too. I waited for a sale on the entire line and saved a bit that way 😊❤️

[@stanky6261973]

First time here. Did you find the remote? From what I could see you brought it closer to your monitor.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I did find my remote! Thank you for asking :) I placed it inside a metal organizer and it was the exact same height as my vinyl samples, so it was hidden. Thankfully I took the vinyl out to organize it and I found it! I was SO relieved to find it and now am constantly aware of where I place it!

[@jeno264]

How good is Clutterbug?! And I love Do It On A Dime, too!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

They’re both soooo great! I always get new ideas from them.

[@shamonjackson3478]

Too funny I took over my dining room table also. Now I can't imagine crafting without it

[@AmigoGiftCo]

It's a crafter's rite of passage to take over the table, right? :) Hehe.

[@lorrispeciale1585]

Never had a yearbook. My parents couldn't afford one and I find I have never missed it in 65 years.

[@stonecrestquilt]

Where did you get your pink cubbie baskets?

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I bought those at Target. They are part of the child's organization section :) I didn't see this same color in the main aisle with the threshold cubes.

[@bernadinestahl1722]

I have a question. Where did you purchase the riser underneath the monitor? Your room looks great an very user friendly. ‘Tfs!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Thank you so much! I am very happy with the final outcome. (If you didn't see the 2nd video, be sure to check it out. I update it again and it's even better!!) The riser I found on amazon. Here is the link www.amazon.com/dp/B00AJHCQD8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@shirleycorrie5678]

Thanks, I should have watched to the end before asking. Target it is!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Yes! Target! These are the threshold line. They have a room essentials line which is smaller and not as sturdy. Threshold is more similar to the ones from ikea. The pink totes are actually part of the kids line, so I found them in the kids storage section. I liked the color better than what is in the regular line.

[@eyeonart6865]

Fill up blank walls with storage so you can put away all those little items and create a ironing area and a cutting board area. Put that tv on the wall.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I love those ideas!

[@lizbee726]

I luv dining room table it's great cutting, sewing & ironing area. My craft room doesn't have enough space for large cutting area so I have to use the floor. 😋😧😞💕

[@AmigoGiftCo]

It was a great dining room table and craft area. I like the new table space in my room and was so glad another family could use my dining table for their growing family

[@viddy8379]

What is the cutting machine near the window and do you use it ?

[@AmigoGiftCo]

That is actually a Heidi Swapp Minc Machine. It's sort of like a laminator, but it is so much better. It has a really even heating element, so I have used it to laminate items, but it's made to be used to add foil to paper. Here is a great video showing how to use the minc machine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHScioSwoJ1lodU

[@rhondagrim3468]

How did you make the survival kits?

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I'll make a video! It's basically a container with little things that would come in handy, like hair ties, tylenol, and temporary tattoos :)

[@TerryCowans]

Great job! Fun to reorganize!!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Terry Cowans thank you so much!! It IS fun to reorganize!

[@MelsCornerCreations]

How did you do your vinyl that is what I have the most trouble with I have some rolled and some that are flat! Do I roll all of them? I htv and reg 651/631

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Great question! Most of my vinyl already comes rolled, so I keep them rolled in the same way I received them. I buy most of my vinyl from a local art store and they told me that all vinyl is rolled a specific way, so keep it rolled so it stays intact with the carrier paper. Their vinyl is 12x15, so they want to make sure we don't accidentally mess our vinyl up. They use rubberbands to hold the rolls together, so that's what I do. Or I used some washi tape to keep it rolled. The only vinyl I've purchased that is flat is 12x12 from the target dollar spot to try out, so I keep that flat.

[@TheJinny0297]

Omg love the way I turns out! So much better!!!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Maria Acevedovega thank you so much!!! I’ve really enjoyed it as well. I rearranged some of the materials in the cubbies, but the layout has stayed the same. And I am so much more productive! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😀

[@oceandreamer1958]

I would never part with my yearbooks! I go back to them more now that I’m older. I add newspaper articles, wedding announcements and obituaries of my classmates to it too. It’s fun to go back now that I’m older. Don’t get rid of those!

[@AmigoGiftCo]

I will definitely keep my yearbooks! I was so inspired by everyone's comments, I recently posted a video about taking the yearbook challenge. I hope you check it out and decide to join us in the challenge to sponsor a yearbook for a student!

[@conniescreations1633]

Where did you get the stuffed animal with grad hat ?I can't think of the character name. Great share and ideas than, you xoxoxo

[@AmigoGiftCo]

Connie's Creations Hi! I got the graduation Stitch at Disney. They sold him on shopDisney for a while and then it wasn’t available at all. But when we were planning our trip to celebrate my husband’s 40th, my graduation and our 10 year anniversary combined, we were looking into their celebration packages they offer. One of the packages included a basket full of treats, a monogrammed graduation set of ears, and the Stitch graduation doll.

[@Sincity702ish]

Where did you find the clear monitor stand? I love do it on a dime for about a year. She’s awesome.

[@AmigoGiftCo]

The clear monitor stand is from amazon. I really like that I can tuck the keyboard underneath it. Here is the link to the monitor stand: amzn.to/2tLFex0
