[@prentzess]

Thank you for repeating your steps in more than one video. I need to be reminded " likes with likes," "work on it a little at a time (use timer if necessary)," "it will get worse before it gets better..." Seeing the end result really motivates me to plug away at it.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Glad it helped!

[@whatwouldpicarddomakeitso9607]

Thank you for sharing . Wow , that turned out lovely and I imagine quite a calming place for her to spend her time now . Looking at her before pictures ..it must of been so overwhelming for her to start on her own , so I’m so glad you were both able to help her and I bet she loved that you love crafts too . Please thank her for welcoming us into her home..I never take for granted when I’m invite into someone’s home physically or virtually ,it’s a privilege to be invited ,thank you . 💛

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You’re welcome 😊 I feel the same, I am honored each time I am allowed to come in and organize. I'm so glad you liked the outcome. We did too!!!

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

I can identify with this gal! I’m a scrapbooker and junk journaler and such a paper nerd!

[@almamara9993]

Your words that resonated with me the most are “It’s going to get worse before it gets better.” I often start to declutter my craft room and it becomes so overwhelming when I start going through everything that I give up and it ends up being a bigger mess than when I started. I like you ways of general groupings and then paring down from there. I have also tried micro organizing and end up with so many containers and no room for them all. I love your videos! Thank you for being so personable and non judgemental in your videos.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I'm so glad it helped, Sandy! Let me know how it goes! I'm here to support and make suggestions if you get stuck. ❤

[@simplysusan.5625]

I think I was led to you today. You have given me hope.

[@ima.happy.hippie]

I love that you are doing these! Not only does it warm my heart, it gives me so much information. For free!!! I took a lot of notes while I was watching this. That way I can get things prepared in advance so I don't need as much help getting things put away in the right places. I'll be watching it several more times just to make sure I don't miss anything that I need to know. Thank you for being the good we want to see in the world. Thank you for sharing. Whoever the client is, thank you for sharing your home with us. 💞

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

It really was so much fun. I have a hard time not wanting to come back and craft when I am done helping with a space! LOL

[@caronward4042]

This is my story! My bedroom is a hybrid space for crafting and I have a lot of different materials because I have a lot of different interests--so there are a lot of found objects, ribbons, fabrics, paper, motors, my wood stash, metal stash, paints--- it goes on and on. This video gives me hope LOL!

[@bereal.stayhuman5665]

I am getting a craft room organize, it used to be my son bedroom. I had purchased a lot of supplies since April, furniture, etc.. more work than I was expecting. Thank you for your wonderful ideas.. one day at a time. Blessings!

[@1antiquejunkietc355]

My Favorite on gutters is the Ribbon love. Looking for perfect way to display yet easy to roll out & use while creating wreaths florals to other stuff. This is great. To paints also love. Great inspiration.

[@DesignByRo]

Wow! This spoke volumes to me! I do all sorts of crafts, so most craft room organization videos don't help at all. I live in a small townhouse, so my craft room is my dining room with supplies kept throughout the house. I try to keep likes with likes, but get bored down in the micro. Thanks for the reminder to keep the wide angle view first!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You are so welcome!!!

[@karenclark1086]

My craft room is almost over flowing - I love yarn - crocheting, beading, painting, sewing, and all kinds of crafting

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That's awesome! Sounds like you just need some storage solutions for each interest. :)

[@lavondabland3179]

My crafts are currently strung out through the house, most are in the living room where I've started getting organized

[@chronicchrafter7261]

My husband has been after me to organize and clean up the "crap" room as he now calls it. You have given me some great ideas and inspiration! I'm going through some health issues right now, but now I know I can nibble at it provided I have a plan!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You can do it!!!! Go slow, there is no time limit.

[@evancorbistephisnama]

Oh this crafty space makeover is amazing! My craft room is also my Lego room, classic video game room, Storage for my board games as well as my teleworking home office. It has gotten so out of control I have moved my laptop to my bedroom so I can work during the day. But after finding your wonderful channel I have started doing a little at a time. I too suffer from chronic pain and sometimes lucky just to get thru my work day. Today I got all the empty Amazon boxes that were hanging in my dining room took them to the recycle bin, cleaned out 1 cabinet in the kitchen and made a box full of items to donate and a box fun of items to donate to my Granddaughters dance studio. Thank you for the amazing channel and great encouragement and ideas!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Twila!!! I am so excited for you!!!! Those little steps add up to amazing results in no time!!!!

[@craftykat1634]

This is my room, but mine is much smaller and I’ve been purging for a few years. This is exactly what I needed to see. I’m ok going thru a few boxes a day and evaluating keep, donate, sell, throw out. I actually started one one corner today and realized that tomorrow I need to go get a few packing boxes to do my sorting, making sure that as I decide to purge it leaves so I’m not second guessing and bringing it back in. Thank you!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You've got this, Kat!!!

[@janburkin357]

I injured my back last year and turned to crafting to fill my time. I needed to fell like I accomplished something. I've been adding supplies to my little room, trying to organize as I add. My awesome husband is building a shed for his workshop which is next to my craft/laundry room. His shed is almost done and he will be moving his stuff out there and giving me his room which is connected to my room. I'm so excited to spread out and truly get organized and able to craft. I'm new to your channel and find we are very similar in our organization. I have basically everything in the large groups and am excited to start breaking them down like you did for your client. So many ideas and so excited to get started. ❤️

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I am so excited for you!!!! This is the perfect time to get all of your supplies organized and ready to move! Please share pictures once you are settled in your new space!!!

[@karenwalker1255]

One word: FABULOUS!! I'd love to see more makeovers like this (!!!) and hearing your organizing techniques even if they're repetitive. I'm someone that needs and learns best from repetition. I love her new space and believe a clutter-free space creates more space for organization but also for creativity. God bless her and you! 💙 Karen in Marshfield, MO 💙

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you, Karen!!!! Happy to have you here.

[@sandyh8755]

Noreen, Thank you for showing this. This is an actual crafter’s room with all the various things. Often times you see videos to organize a craft room and there is so little stuff which is so not helpful. Great ideas! I reorganized most of my craft room in March and April. Because of health issues, I can only work for small amounts at a time. I took my time and am happy with the results.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I hope you are feeling better! I am so excited that you now have an organized craft room you can enjoy! Great job!

[@suearcher8708]

Norrine, watching your videos has made me more compfortable with my process, thank you! I guess it just seemed natural to do the sorting like things and then break it down. So that has been my plan. My block walls are my mobilty issues and general weekness, everthing takes me three times as long as it takes most folks. I get discouraged, and just sit and stare at the kaos. But, then I watch one of your client videos and yeah it may take me more that three days, but I will win! Thank you for showing me I am on the right track!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You can do this!!!! Remember to set that timer.... and take care of you first!!! The room is patient and will wait. Go at YOUR pace.

[@viktoriasoder1555]

Iknow your client must be so grateful for your help. It's a wonderful space! Love the sorting in plastic bags idea. How clever! I live in a really small, one room house, and I have no place to set up a crafting area. This has has helped (forced) me to act like a minimalist in all aspects of my home, and also pare down my crafting stuff. But now I plan on buying a Silhouette Cameo, and need to figure out a space for it. Something else has got to give, but I don't know what yet. It'll be used on the kitchen table. It's quite overwhelming. I love your videos, because they help me figure out solutions for my own home.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Look for small furniture/storage ideas.... (think small shoe storage) that can sit under your craft table or desk for the Cameo to sit on top of. Bonus points if it's on rollers, as it will be easier for you to have access to it!

[@traille4901]

What a transformation without spending a lot of money! Thank you for guiding us through the steps. I hope to apply it to my place. 👍🤞😊

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Oh Norrine, she had floor space available before you got the room organized! How nice it would be to have such a big fantastic craft room. You definitely have wonderful ideas! I've been purging and organizing several spaces at the same time. As I've been working I found that I had all kinds of craft organizing items that I just filled up because I had them, not because they actually helped me be organized! Besides being a crafting collector, I buy and sell antiques and collectibles so I have stuff EVERYWHERE. I've decided I want my house back so the biggest thing for me is getting rid of stuff I will never use or sell. (Much like a hoarder, I get attached to things...not healthy!) For the past month I've delivered a carload of stuff including project furniture to our local thrift store two or three times a week. Its amazing how much stuff I had stuffed into my house, craft room and shed. I'm also cleaning up my office and shredding old papers. I am SOOOO glad I found your channel. You have given me the courage and skills to actually tackle this gargantuan task!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I am so excited for you!!! It feels wonderful to get control of your space again. You don't realize how much it was affecting you, until you get things out and can breath again! Yay for you!!!!! Will I get to see pictures??

[@rcarr48]

Very interesting. I’m glad you understand about wanting to keep all the little stuff for projects. I really need help but watching you makes a lot of sense.

[@rachelmichel7487]

I have more boxes to get organized. I have been working on this for months. I have been thinking about just getting rid of all my crafts because it’s so overwhelming. I don’t want to because it really brings me so much joy and happiness to craft. But watching this did give me hope. I do see that breaking it done into big like sections. Then looking for a place that it will fit makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing this.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

It makes it MUCH easier!!!! Don't give up - especially if you enjoy crafting! 💜

[@barbaramorck2933]

Yes,I agree with Norrine -- you have to do things that bring you joy -- the world needs more happiness -- so keep on crafting -- whatever you choose -- and organizing -- that brings its own satisfaction as well.

[@dianeboileau2026]

What a difference 3 days makes! You did such a fabulous job but then you had lots of storage to work with and it's a great space. Your client must be thrilled and I like her because she's into so many crafts, lol (just like me) This has totally motivated me to do even more organizing! Would love to see more videos like this! Thanks to you and your client for sharing!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Smaller spaces are done the same way... it's just harder to film! In those spaces, I use the areas around it (Hall, out side, next room, etc) for sorting. Those are really bad because I've made the entire HOUSE look like a mess!!! But, it all comes together in the end. :)

[@dianamcmahon51510]

Hahaha, I could totally relate when you talked about the cute storage containers that you don't end up using. I have a pile of these things that I used for about a minute but have since proved themselves to not be as useful as I'd hoped. 🤷🏼‍♀️ This was an amazing before and after, so satisfying to watch. Great job!

[@hazelpoole1954]

That is one lucky lady. WOW what a great job you did. My craft room is getting there. Still some maneuvering to be done but as you say slow and sure wins the race! Not a winner yet but closer.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

YES!!! You will get there!!!! I think slow and steady is better!!! You will be so much more invested in keeping it that way!

[@schmitt313]

Thank you for showing this. It was a very relatable craft room. You have helped me so much! I appreciate you taking the time to share!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I'm so glad!

[@michelletodd7322]

This was great. I have a spare room that I have put things that I don't know what it where I want them. It is also a spare bedroom with a walk in closet. I cleaned out a different room a couple years ago and made it into a sewing room. So now the spare room is a catch all for non sewing items and other crafting and keepsakes that I still want, I think! Haha This has helped to get me motivated and to know where to start. Great video!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Kim.Artman]

This was so helpful! I usually spend so much time trying to get organized that I can't get anything done. And yes, I have multiple organizing boxes that its overwhelming.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I'm so glad!

[@micheleheinze274]

Great tips/advice, I always learn so much from your videos. My biggest laugh (challenge) is the miscellaneous "boxes". By breaking down our likes with likes, is making a difference. You're great at what you do, geez I wish I had her craft room, it's a dream come true for me, lol. Thanks Norrine, have a fabulous weekend! 😊

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thanks, Michele!

[@pyperbradley3229]

I recently have gone through an excercise like this. It was almost overwhelming. Like your comment to plan for plenty of time I found that I underestimated the total time required and got frustrated. I persevered and took a step back to plan better. What a difference!! Your suggestions and calm have inspired me to tackle the next project. Thanks Noreen

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That's so exciting!!!! Keep me posted on your journey!!!!

[@dorothyjoyner11]

Yes! It's been nearly a year since I began transforming our 2nd guest room in to my craft room. I'm down to the last bit... which I have designated to 2 shelves in my refurbished armoire! Today is the day I am going to tackle the mound of "stuff" and complete the transformation! I needed this to reassure me of the steps to be taken to organize the remnants! Thank you!!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I can't wait to see the finished room!!! Congrats!

[@Carolmaizy]

What a great job you did with the craftroom! I agree with you- reducing the huge piles to smaller and smaller units or categories as you go- you do end up handling things more than once, but you can see progress right away, and seeing the empty spaces that open up is motivating. Thanks for the video.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thanks, Carol! 🌞

My first craft area was a broom closet and a small tool box. Oh... how we've grown! LOL

[@kristinestimach1484]

I finally got the craftroom of my dreams 3 years ago. Went crazy buying supplies as I have many interests. Crochet, psinting, bead work, cricut, sewing. Im out of room. Haven't used my room in a year due to clutter. Im so upset my beautiful room is over run by supplies I can't seem to purge 😫

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Hi, Kristine. Let's see if I can help. Email me pictures of your area (wide-shots of the room/area and close-ups) to [e-mail] and I will take a look. 💜

You can do it!!! I'm here to cheer you and and help if you get stuck 😊

[@sarahowen3590]

Your description of touching/moving things multiple times like a sliding puzzle is so true! I feel like I am constantly moving things around for a better fit. I try to think of my stuff as fluid...it grows and shrinks, and how often I use things changes. So I may need to move something I'm not using as much now to a less convenient place so things I am using more often now are easy to get to (and put away).

[@znycelondon5313]

The before and after speaks volumes. The room looks soooooooo much better. I’ve adopted your techniques and has been the best thing for me to follow. So far so good......and so true....once all the items are removed and I culled it down as I did this. All like items with like items. I then had my bins and containers ready that I had already chosen for the space . Then all that was left was to put the containers back. My craft room looks amazing now. I actually have two spaces I use....one is my craft room and the other is my design studio as I am a designer/ tailor. Soooooo........I’d like to just thank you for all the time you give to creating your channel and sharing ideas and tutorials. You are much appreciated . 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

That was an amazing room transformation!!! Love love love organization. Great Job

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@valkyriesardo278]

Good advice. I am a firm believer in sorting boxes. It is a good investment to buy clear plastic totes, shoeboxes, and ziploc bags of various sizes. The sort boxes won't go to waste and can later be used for off season storage containers. Sort boxes restrain the chaos more effectively than sorting into piles on the carpet or a table top.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Well said! And I completely agree - if you have space to store when not needed, they come in handy for SO many things!

[@jeriebucko4386]

I loved this makeover. I'm itching to get started on my own makeover now. Norrine, great as usual. I loved that you were able to use what your client already owned.

I LOVE ❤ ORGANIZING. It keeps me sane. I too suffer from depression & anxiety. Medication wasn't helping at all but organizing stuff keeps my mind occupied and just makes me happy to see the outcome.

[@LedgerAndLace]

WOW, Norrine! I think you could do nothing but craft spaces. You really know how to assess functionality. A lot of organizers make things look beautiful, but they miss that part of the equation--especially if they are not creative themselves. This was AWESOME!!! :-)

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thanks, Hali! I love making rooms look pretty - but not if it loses functionality! We talked about moving furniture around and making BIG changes... but I try to keep things closer to what people at home would be able to do. 💙

[@deedees1137]

Norrine, thank you so much for doing my room! I have so much peace now and just grin every time I walk in there! You and Mary were amazing! I was embarrassed at how messy it was in the beginning, but reading the comments of others, I realize many of us crafters are in the same boat: too many crafts, too many interests, and just way too much stuff! I'm glad that you were able to help so many through my room!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I knew it would help others!!! I just regret not showing your amazing talents and art that you've created!!! If I get to come out again... we are getting in that storage area!!!!! :) Thank you so much for being a part of this and letting us 'play' in your room. xoxoxo

[@Chai4mom]

wow, that is such a helpful video! Thanks for showing your process. I love the idea of categorizing at high levels first and then breaking down from there.

[@ninacox6865]

Thanks for common sense approach. A lot of people say touch item only once when sorting and purging. I find that hard because like you said. Put in large group then site smaller. Thus is what I do then feel guilty because I’m handling items more than once. I like your way of doing things. That’s the way I try to do sorting and organizing. Thanks

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Well said! I think we've all been taught you should only touch things once. But, you can't know where to put items until you know what you have and how much! And if you try and organize in tiny groups first - you will be overrun with categories. I am so glad this clicks with you.

[@TheKidchaser]

I get to the it's gonna get worse part and get overwhelmed and shive things in drawers and boxes. I think I am able to get past that now, knowing that there is a better! Thank you for what you do!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You can do it! Try to not look at the entire project! Focus on the single task and celebrate when each step is completed! You will be shocked to look up and realize you are done with sorting, and ready to put things away!!!

[@cindycash1772]

Lol... looks like I'm on the right path... seeing n hearing your methods are very validating... I only have 42 bins to still go through to have my storage sorted(about half)... knitting, crochet, beading, leathercraft n sewing... many things I know I have but haven't seen for literally 40+ years... my goal is this time next year to be done n each have its own spot... my biggest road blocks... I get distracted by shiny objects(my precious newly found memories) n new projects... lol... I will persevere... thank you for all your hardwork making these videos that help us all... thank you for generously sharing all your knowledge... blessings

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

If you can have a friend or family member sit with you to 'keep you on track' it helps! Otherwise, set it aside and let yourself look forward to going through those memory items leisurely - AFTER your timed session is up. :)

[@debradavid929]

I found this to be so encouraging.... I too enjoy many kinds of crafts, so I too have supplies for many crafting hobbies. Just today, my sister dropped by to see what progress I’ve made, and to offer suggestions to me..... I’m still unpacking from moving, and attempting to get settled into my new craft room.... in our first house, I had a wonderful room. The prior owner of that house worked for LeeWards here in Illinois.... the room was already established! Next house was a rough corner of our u finished basement..... 18+ years later, I have a room again, and loads more supplies and tools 🤔🤭😉

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That's so exciting!!!! A blank slate to plan your space!!!!

[@cindyellis765]

I’m in the process of organizing my craft room. It’s slow but steady. Hard to discard (one way or another) things I no longer want to do, but they have to go. Looking for somewhere to donate. At least I have My workbench cleaned off and organized. I make handmade cards, paint, and misc. seasonal stuff with my grandchildren. They’ll be getting some of my overage. Yay!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

It feels so great when it's done!!! Keep me posted - I'm here to support and give suggestions, if you need either.

[@roxannepratt5187]

I'm so guilty of the micro-organizing lol. In this next phase (moving slow but steady as my energy/motivation allows) I'm trying to stick to the wider end of the funnel as I sort. I just keep telling myself it'll be so much nicer & easier to micro sort in a generally organized space. Luckily for the project the handyman has allotted a day next week for my closet re-vamp which will finally allow all the sorted stuff in bins on the floor a place to call home which I think will be that "turning point" you mentioned. Keep your fingers crossed 🤞 Thanks again for the encouragement and inspiration to keep going.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That is SO exciting!!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!! Keep up those amazing cards!

[@margaretswann6805]

I’m definitely doing these tips to my craft area

[@MarieP3]

My craft area looks like the before and I find it soooooo overwhelming. I do make an effort from time to time but it's like it's growing. The room triples up as my husbands desk area which is getting smaller and my beauty and body products. I am addicted to these too. I find myself closing the door and hoping fairies come along and organise overnight but they must be too busy. I love your videos they are really informative but they are always calming and comforting. Sometimes I play one to my husband to try and make him see it's not as easy as he thinks it is. Thank you for your wonderful advice and helpful information and support. Please keep it going I need you. Kindest regards...Marie oxo

[@Rozzie...Brisbane...Australia]

Yes I have an office and craft room together. I did what you did and took everything out and sorted it outside of the room, so the family room was a mess. Then I acquired 3 file cabinets with 3 and 4 draws at different depths. I took off the robe doors and placed the file cabinets into the wardrobe space, this free'd up floor space in the room. I also got a work bench with storage underneath and on top. I cut a piece of wood to make the size desk I could fit in the room for the sewing machine and placed that on 2 cupboards and 2 sets of draws. Lastly I had lots and lots of folders on display taking up room, so I pulled everyone apart, had a save and rubbish pile and cleaned them all up. Next I got myself a labeler (Brother PT) and started to put items from the folders into my upright file system's in the wardrobe which got rid of the majority of folders, only keeping 10 out for the important documents. All craft is on one side of the room, all office on the other side and the workbench sits in the middle. Open trays set up at 3 and labelled, work, home and business hold the items being used or ready for filing neatly under the workbench. All tapes, staples, hole punches etc are on top of workbench and a magnetic knife block on the side of the workbench hold's sizzor's, blades, and metal tools. A magnetic board is on the wall for items to take care of for that week. And a computer desk also fits into the room now. All items where possible are on wheels for easy removal for cleaning. And one cabinet is used solely for stationary. On top of all 3 file cabinets are baskets and containers holding most used item for easy access. It was a huge job but a good clean-up to get rid of old items, I feel so much better in myself and my room now, a cleanup is as good as a holiday for the body and brain as much as the space you work in, I recommend it to everyone to change rooms around frequently and get furniture on wheels, any room in my home can be transformed easily into what I want with all my storage on wheel's...Rozz...Brisbane....Australia

This space sounds amazing!!!! I'd love to see pictures of it!!!!

[@lesliehobson3196]

👍👍Norrine, you are so right about the mess getting worse before it gets better! However, that light at the end of the tunnel, that moment you realize it is all coming together & you actually see progress gives you the most immense satisfaction & relief! I know because I have been personally experiencing it! I still have much to be done, but every baby step is worth it. Like your client, I have NUMEROUS types of crafts that I do, & mine are all interconnected in one or more ways. Sorting them all out & separating them seemed impossible. I finally decided that I needed to set up my limited craft space in a way that would contain it all but with focus on what needed a table, as opposed to just my lap, to be worked on. It is all coming together & gaining momentum as I progress. So glad I did not give up! 😅

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you for sharing that!!!!! I am so proud of you and excited for your new work space!!!! It does magically just start to click into place! I've seen it happen hundreds of times. I'd love to see your before and after pics, if you took any. Congrats!!!

[@lesliehobson3196]

I did not take any "before" pics (too embarrassingly horrendous!) but will take some "after" when I am finished & figure out how to send them!

[@deborahcarr4058]

This was so helpful! I am planning to reorganize my craft room/office the first of the year.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Perfect! Please keep me posted on your journey!

[@carolhydon7324]

Hi Norrine! Fantastic video. The room looks amazing! We all fear and hate the moment it gets worse before it gets better! Xx

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Trust me - I can't tell you how many times I've completely taken an area apart - and had that gasp moment, "What have I done"! LOL But, it is the best way to really get to break down and get your categories perfected. Thanks for watching!

[@rachelburgener819]

Hey there Norrine, I told you you had a lot of tricks up your sleeve😝🤣. Awesome job, thank you and your viewer for letting us into her corner of the world!!! I’m sure she is a happier crafter. Keep up the good work til next time ❤️😀

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

😁

[@sbudzinski]

Everything looks amazing! Love that space she has. I could see myself on that sofa 😄

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Me too!!

[@beckiegriffin4768]

I love that you showed us this. Im still not ready to tackle my craft room . You make it look so easy, I start then just get over whelmed. Thank you I can't miss any of you vidieos . You teach us so much

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You can do it! Just start small, and set that timer! You will start to see progress - I promise!

[@kuttfam0191]

I am going to tackle mine soon...it has spread to other rooms and seems to be taking over my entire house.

[@beckiegriffin4768]

@@kuttfam0191 understand ❤️

[@darleneweller7495]

This was a great example. Exactly, what I have been looking for. Many great ideas to organize my multi-interest craft room. Thanks!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kathlynsteinman3599]

I guess there really is hope for my craft room. Excellent job making this over. So many great ideas.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you! 😊

[@nicolehammonds7347]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for sharing, thank you for the reassurance about it being ok to touch my items multiple times. I was just working on my craft room last night and was reworking a set of items. I told my sister I feel like that's a waste of time but I want it to feel correct when I sit to craft I want it just like you said my most grabbed items in arms length. I've been working on it since September I promise to share pics when I'm finished. I see the light of my finished room! So excited!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Oh - that is so exciting, Nicole!!! I can't wait to see pictures!

[@kuttfam0191]

This was amazing to “see” happen. I have craft stuff in three rooms in my house. I know it’s not fair to my family, so I am trying to get things started now. My daughter comes home in November after a year of not being able to see her. She teaches and could not come for her Spring Break or any part of the summer, obviously due to COVID-19. We are praying that her states numbers stay down and our states numbers stay down. So, I have a little over a month to get all of my stuff tamed. Wish me luck, it’s going to be a journey!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You've got this! Set the timer and put on some good music!

[@pkiser1980]

Thank you for all of your crafting advice. I also craft in many different mediums, I paint ceramics, card making and scrapbooking, I paint on canvas and also sew. My craft room is not what I would call messy but when I switch to a different craft I find that my other crafting supplies are kind of in the way. Soooo, the month of January will be dedicated to organizing my craft room into a more ideal area that will be more accessible to my many different crafts. Thank you again, I just found you and am sad you will no longer be doing these amazing videos. Wishing you lots of luck and success in your future endeavors

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I am still doing the videos!!!! Just my personal business of organizing in my local area is stopping. Too hard with the recent California small business laws and the Pandemic. I love KZbin and helping people too much to leave it all. LOL 🌺💜🌺

[@theresaduplessis6529]

Excellent. Such excellent ideas and categories. Great tips to get going. 🎉👍🌸🌺🌻

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ilemsanmartin996]

Amazing Craft Room Transformation Girl! So many great pointers always walk away with ways to incorporate into my new craft room space. I bought the jumbo ziplocks and the large bin for Scrapbook Papers. Still in the process of switching out from Mama bedroom into a craft room. Keeping all Mama furniture for storing all my craft supplies. Thank You for all you do Girl, Blessings! 🤩🤩🤩💞

[@dedrasmitherman7983]

Amazing, practical, and realistic transformation! Thank you for sharing.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Glad you liked it!

[@GodsBabyGirl9]

I am watching this again. I have emptied out my craft room/office. OMG! You are right I have so many empty containers that I want to work but I don't think will. Having trouble sort into categories. So overwhelmed. Haven't been able to get someone to help. Wish you lived on the east coast. Florida is lovely this time of year. Thanks Tanya.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I wish I could come help!!! Working on getting that RV so I can start traveling! Stay tuned!

[@shanaproctor100]

That was incredible! Great job!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you!

[@megansampson]

I don't have a craft room, I have an area in our dining room, and I started to clean it tonight actually, got tired and frustrated but after watching this video, I'm ready to keep on going tomorrow 😁 thank you for sharing this video!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That makes me so happy!!!! Take it in small chunks! You'll get through it! :D

[@lalagamma4452]

What a great transformation! I use a lot of the same craft supplies in my junk journals so I understand how it takes over a space. 🐞🥰🐝😘🦋🤗

[@keishajackson4054]

I am scared to get started!! But this is a wonderful transformation. I am a multi-crafter also and I need to separate my areas. Painting, crochet, knitting, card making, album making, art journaling, water coloring, scrapbooking, making barbie scale rooms (this takes up a lot of space) and general crafting. YIKES, no wonder I am not organized and can barely walk through this giant room!! LOL. I do love watching and listening to you. You make it sound so easy and you have a calming voice. Someday ...... (sigh)

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Pick one interest!!! Get that area done.... just don't commit to any final containers until you've gotten through all of your craft items. :)

[@joanbryant1494]

Thank you, I needed to hear this. I have so many crafts I love. I am hopelessly in effective at organizing.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I am your cheerleader to help you get through this... and have suggestions if you need them. :)

[@beckyb4074]

This video is so awesome. Thank you, thank you. I pray that you are safe where you are. God bless you. Becky B

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you! My family and I are all safe. 💜

[@suzannebyron6034]

This was super helpful! I mean, all of your videos are very helpful, but this definitely answered the hardest question, which is how to even begin. I am currently trying to get all of my craft supplies into one room from literally every room in the house, and even though I’m not looking forward to the explosion of sorting, your video made it feel possible and provided so much direction which has really helped squash my fears lol. Thank you so much!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I am so glad to hear that!!!!!! Consider me your personal cheerleader and giver of suggestions! 💜

[@stylesformiles79]

I love your mad skills in organizing! You have such great ideas. I moved in July & used your advice to organize my first ever full craft room. It still needs refining but I love it thanks to your tips & tricks! 👍💗👌😉

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I'm so glad!

[@JA-qx8jf]

Perfect timing.. currently working in my craft room.. sooo helpful 🥰 Thank you sooo much for your tips .. wish you were here💕

[@lindaroberts2282]

AMAZING...you did an awesome job on this project!!! Thank you for sharing the process.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@created2bless322]

I’m a multi crafter and have excessive amounts of everything. It feels good knowing that I could craft pretty much anything that I’d like to but I don’t craft because I am overwhelmed and over run by my supplies. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Hope it helps!!!! It's hard to get them all broken down - but once you do - it makes all of the difference!

[@lisabell7934]

I have been "working" on my craft room , basement area for seems like forever.My problem is i get side tracked and just can not stay focused for long periods of time. i get a little done then i end up walking of to do something somewhere else. I really need to do better.lol .

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Keep your focus on what you ARE getting done. Set the timer, once you've completed that time... acknowledge what you achieved and ENJOY getting to work on something else. If you have a craft room, you have a creative mind.... embrace it and let it guide how you really want that room to function WHEN it's done. You've got this!

[@kandicezaffarano6361]

This video was so helpful. I too work on various crafts

[@Boatpeep]

I'll get my guest room ready in Georgia for you to visit! I have a storage/craft/cake decorating/out of season clothes/file cabinet room that needs you! Excellent video!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Once I get my RV... I won't need to invade at all! I'll just sleep in my RV :)

[@gptable]

The after is so amazing! Thank you for what you do!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You're so welcome!

[@susancrosier5420]

Hi. Great video. I sent you pictures and you responded which was so great. My son moved in with me and he finally was able to buy a house. Yay!!!! He'll be leaving in a week. I have a big room in basement that I could convert but I love my little room on the main floor. So I want to reorganize and put the less used items in a cupboard in garage. i just ordered it. I'll send you a photo when I'm done. Hugs

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That's so exciting!!! Yes, use the room that feels the best. There is something to be said about the energy of a room!

[@GolfPrincessCL]

Such great tips! 👏🤩 I love before and after!😻 I am totally motivated to attack my craft room! 🧶🧶🧶 Thanks!!! 💖

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

You can do it!!!!

[@odiliasanchez7270]

Loved the way it was it was organized. Just don’t have any shelves to start except a dresser I have it full and carts with rollers.

[@constancekimmel1474]

Im very much encouraged by this video. This very same project is before me. I love how excited you get tackling these types of problems. I, on the other hand, feel overwhelmed. Unfortunately, I started boxing items not by categories but by areas of the room so some boxes are a mix of different supplies and unrelated. I'm hoping that once the room is cleared of products and desks and shelving are set up, I can than create the category spaces you speak of to begin returning items to their proper place. Fingers crossed. Thank you for such great techniques. Keep them coming.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I think that's a great plan! Get that shelving set up and use open bins/boxes to just start sorting.... You can create zones later so the most used things are near where you work, and the least used items are farther away from you. Keep me posted!!! I'm rooting for you xoxox

[@MissChelle]

It’s so great to see a realistic craft room makeover. So many I watch look absolutely show room beautiful, but not really realistic of a true craft space. What a lovely bright airy space. Well done, you are truly an angel on earth for doing this 🇦🇺❤️

[@Boatpeep]

Yes! I agree 100 percent!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you so much!

[@vayes7958]

Wow, that's amazing Awesome I love these videos!!! After the holidays when we have snow, I want to do some more organizing.
