SMALL CRAFT ROOM ORGANIZATION HACKS - MUST SEE DOLLAR TREE FINDS, Use Vertical Space

[@susansmithey5317]

Karen, I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your videos. This video is especially helpful. It's useful, practical and to the point. No annoying music. No excessive blabbering 😉I can put to use today so much of what you are showing. My living room is also my craft space. It's raining all day today in southern California, so I'll be indoors. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. PS I come back time and time again to your art journal videos. They are easy for me to follow.

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you so much for your kind words. The things you like about my videos and channel are the things I strive to do. I want to show ways to do art journaling that is easy, budget friendly and down to earth. Thanks for watching.K

[@erin6692]

Yessss. Finally. A craft room organization video that shows affordable ideas for smaller areas. I can’t afford to do even those Ikea shelves. Lol. The closest IKEA is 3 hours from me!

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you . I'd rather spend my crafting dollars on new and fancy art supplies .Similar shelves can be found in Amazon, Walmart etc...so if you like the shelf idea look at other places. I've even seen them at home improvement stores.

[@unboundbytiffany]

Hehe the closest ikea to me is probably atleast 3 states and an ocean away. ;) but yeah no, I wouldn't travel 3 hours to spend a fortune at ikea personally. As much as I love super plain and simple white painted furniture, I just don't think I would if I could. Love these storage ideas for sure!

[@Lauriebird1]

I could just Hug this woman She’s got it happening!!!!!! I’m reorganizing my space! I’ve watched many videos this gal here is the BEST

Excuse me while I run 🏃to dollar tree! Wow, thanks for the great ideas!!!

Happy organizing. K

[@Fea2759]

Thank you so much for this video. I got some really great ideas because I need vertical storage badly so thank you so much especially the over the caddy baskets. Absolutely love that. Thank you again Great job.

[@KarenBurchill]

The secret is finding and using that vertical space. K

[@kv1815]

What a wonderful video! At last, ingenuity over unlimited budgets and wall-to-wall IKEA storage. Incredibly helpful, thank you!

[@KarenBurchill]

Thank you so much . Your comment made me smile. Yes we all cant/or want to buy out Ikea to organize our studio LOL

You are very welcome. K

[@galady8632]

Just an idea to help balance the drawers on the towel bars: wrap aluminum foil around a curling iron, put it on the 'high' setting, mark the center top of the finger openings on both ends of your bins and place the heated curling iron surface to your mark. It helps eliminate so much movement and there's no plastic residue on the curling iron. Also bathroom towel bars attached to the walls can hold baskets. I bought and painted 1"x4"s and wooden dowels and assembled a 6' tall system for baskets. I just drilled holes in the 1"x2"s for dowels so I could slide dowels in and out - no need for the Dollar Tree metal hanger. I would share a pix but I removed everything from my creative space since I need to prime, paint and remove the carpet/install new flooring.

[@KarenBurchill]

Great ideas...yes the baskets work over the towel bars in bathrooms. They also work over filing cabinet doors, and on wire rack pantry shelves....I now have baskets in most rooms in my house. Thank you for the other organizational ideas.

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Great job on the creative space.. I must continue on with my organization.

[@KarenBurchill]

Those teal bins with the decorative designs, would be great stamp impressions if you use a foam stam from Simon Hurley… I just want to find those minds for that.

[@KarenBurchill]

YES....I've done a similar thing with just regular foam that I got at Dollar Tree. K

[@floridadragonfly1487]

Karen thank you for the smart idea with the dollar tree towel bar. It took me many months and many dollar tree stores to find them. I am using them in my kitchen over the drawers for paper towel rolls and trash. I don’t have room for a trash can so I use grocery dollar tree bags for trash. Working great for me.

[@KarenBurchill]

Glad you finally tracked them down. It's frustrating when you see a product on here and can't locate it at your local DT....but nice that your persistence paid off. K

Thanks for sharing this. One can never have too many baskets. LOL I love the expandable towel bar and the idea of having a roll of paper towels hanging off the cart. (I'm always looking for my paper towels) 🙄🤪

I thought it was only me searching for paper towel. This makes it so sweet....easy peasy. I've already gone back and gotten 3 more white baskets....those stackable ones are perfect for my odd balls shaped DIY stamps and mark makers....

Brilliant ideas for hooking baskets, I’m in UK and gonna go shopping in the morning on the hunt for similar baskets and the towel rails - I’m into adult colouring and my craft area is in the corner of my living room, as I live in a 1 bedroom flat. I’ve recently seen someone use metal racks that you’d use to cool cakes etc, she used 6 and used plastic pull tags to fix them together then hung it on the wall and hung things from it, I think your baskets would hang on this rack so well for ppl like myself who can only use wall space. If I manage to find the item’s tomorrow, hopefully this hack you’ve shared can be a huge help. I’ll let you know and try to share photos with you. I’ll also give you a shout out on my UTube Channel for the idea and direct ppl your way for organising their Craftroom areas big n small xx cheers Ness 😊

Great idea using the towel bars. I have never seen them at Dollar Tree. As of this afternoon, I am headed into week 5 of reorganizing my shop. I recently bought roughly 15 baskets with handles from Dollar Tree, but your video now has me rethinking a few things. TFS. 🤗💛🙏🎨

[@KarenBurchill]

Neither had I...and then I saw them on someone's Dollar Tree Haul video and that got my brain working. I'm going to use these in my pantry as well...and laundry room....and on my bakers rack .LOL

[@robinepling2158]

Fabulous and creative ideas! I can’t wait to use them. I also watched a couple of your other videos. On the napkin use I wondered. Could you copy say a Christmas card scanned on your computer, then print out on white napkin paper?

I've not printed on napkins..but I did see a video on it.....I'd be concerned that it would jam....you could do it on tissue paper...I've had success with that.

Ideas for sloped attic walls?

[@KarenBurchill]

Sorry..I don't really have much experience with sloped attic walls. I've seen some videos where people have used such spaces as art studios so maybe do a search for that on KZbin or Pinterest. K

[@patriciacyzauskas4067]

I went to my DT today. No towel holders. 🙁. Ended up at TJ Maxx clear refrigerator bins for a cabinet to store my Art Impressions watercolor stamps. I found the cutest in the makeup area that say “cotton bin”. I’m going to store Qtips in one n makeup squares in the other. Their lids have a clear Diamond like knob similar to Nuvo products. Costly at $7.99 each but love the way the look next to my Nuvo collection. I ended up buying 2 under shelf baskets (only 3 sided) for $4.99 each. I will keep checking DT for towel hangers n plastic ( or wire which I prefer) baskets that I’d like to have in the craft closets since it’s cheaper than the hiring someone to put in more shelves. Thanks for the ideas!!

[@KarenBurchill]

Keep looking for those holders...I now have more in my studio AND have put them to use in my pantry and laundry room. K

Karen, I too have been using a lot of these items but I like the way you used some of them better. Especially the square baskets on the table. To see them stack like that is perfect. Our DT doesn't have those towel hangers either but I don't pass a DT that I don't have to stop at. Did you find them in the kitchen section?

[@KarenBurchill]

I believe it was in the section with the over the door hangers (home section) . You can order them online too...but have to buy a certain amount...( which I now have done...going back a third time LOL I think I have 18 of them...will be using them in pantry, laundry room and entry way.....I went back and got more of the white square baskets too.....they are perfect for the bulky mark makers/home made stamps....K

Hello Karen, Can you tell me how much weight can your floating shelf support? I believe you said it was 45". Thank you!!! 😊💜😇🌷

Yes 45 in long ...but sorry I have no idea what the weight it would take. Primarily I put my art journals, canvases on it....it's not a wide shelf ...but if you hang it properly into studs I imagine it would take a significant weight. I bought it from Ikea....so maybe they list the weight . Thanks for watching K
