Best Craftroom Set-Up using the Bullseye Method

[@junethiel632]

I may have already shared with you that I live in a shoebox of an apartment, and it is also my busy art and calligraphy studio! I do commissions in both these fields for clients, in order to pay my rent and buy food. I LOVE all the tips and ideas, as I have the challenge of making everything functional yet aesthetic.....and working with what I have is a real necessity. Thanks for always helping me with this Rubiks cube of a home space!

As I came across this video, it speaks to what I have been doing for the last 2 years. Basically, I now live with my daughter and I have a room, however, it is more important to have a create/workspace than it is to have a bedroom. After bringing a lot of my stuff over here, I came to realize everything does not need to take up space in this tiny room. So I began organizing the garage. Everything that is associated with spirit doll making, inspirational earrings and creating the accessories that go along with that need to be in the space. All the offshoots are housed in the garage easily accessible and I can lay my hands on most things. I am now trying to decide on the best way to label everything, using graft tape and hand write them or buy a label maker.

[@amkarei]

What did you decide to use for labeling? I have eye issues so I'm pretty sure a label maker would not give me large enough print to be on any use. Hope your combo craft room / bedroom is working out well for you.

[@phenomenal_woman]

@@amkarei I purchased some white gaffer tape from Amazon, because it would be easy to remove, and hand lettered what is in each box. I think I will purchase a labeler later. my handwriting is ok, I just think the neatness of a labeler would read better.

[@ginnypeveto7168]

I currently have my craft stuff spread out everywhere but am soon to have my very own craft room! This was great advice because as with many of us, I have several categories of interest. Thank you for a logical approach to setting up my new space!

[@emmawheeler4624]

I've been using this method for years, didn't know it had a name 😄 currently my space is tiny, so I'm organising vertically, which means my dartboard is vertical. The most used things at eye and hand level, radiating out up and down. To me it's just common sense, but like a lot of organising tips, they make sense and come naturally to some and not to others. I'm learning a lot lately about clutter and it's all so obvious but I never would have got it without someone telling me! 😂 Great video, I think you explained it well 🙂🦋💕

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Thank you so much! Love that you are organizing vertically! That is awesome use of space!

[@melanier7598]

Thank you, Norrine! It seems as if this Bullseye Method just happened naturally. I was an avid seamstress for more than 50 years, employing the method you described. I now enjoy card making but have made a few adjustments to the Method. I have arthritis and find that I must resist the urge to remain immobile and instead move around so my joints keep working. I purposely set up the space so I must get out of my chair to use machines (Cricut, Scan 'n Cut, Gemini, etc.). I also have a separate "heat embossing station" where I stand to work and keep the embossing powder contained. Everything is in one room so distances are minimal. For the items that are truly within reach, I am loving my new chair and the recent installation of metal wallboard (similar to pegboard). Over the years, I have learned that tidying the room daily is essential.

[@rachelburgener819]

Melanie, I applaud you for your “movement” attitude! Your space sounds like fun and inspiring!! Tidying-daily🤔?! Whodathunk 😝 If only we could all do that!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️😀

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Melanie - those adjustments sound PERFECT!!!! I am so glad you found a way to make it work for you - and that you are still creating. I thinks it's such an important activity. Well done.

[@amkarei]

Congrats on the profound determination to "KEEP MOVING". Human nature being what it is, we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to our health! Regarding your regular tidying, that, too, is essential for me as I craft in my kitchen! So far, no glitter nor sequins have "embellished" the evening's entree!! Be well, and keep on keeping on!!

[@sherylosullivan9619]

I do the same as I also have arthritis. As much as I don’t want to get up to use my die cutting machine, I do stand up to use it. I have a mini machine I can reach without getting up though!

[@amkarei]

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

I love the bullseye method of organizing. As I declutter my home 🏡 I've been moving items that don't belong in a space to the room they belong in. And lo and behold, I didn't realize I had sewing and crafting supplies in every part of my house. My sewing studio is now one big mess. I think I'll start with the bullseye area!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Right???? I've had that happen too!!!! Things just seem to creep into all of our spaces! Keep me posted on your sewing studio! I'll be rooting for you!

[@fastquilter600]

Thank you for bringing up the bull's eye again. This time I looked at my "dining room/craft" area. It is very cluttered and I've am always trying to make the space more of a dining room. The bull's eye will help me so much. My calligraphy supplies, all in one tote, but I use them less than once every other month. There are other examples but you do know what I mean. I'm on a mission!!!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Woo hoo!!! You've got this!!!!

[@amkarei]

If you have only the depth of a bookcase SOMEWHERE, use that for VISIBLE, ACCESSIBLE, storage. Cover boxes -- wine cases?? -- decorated to look like BOOKS (I saw a Y.T. VIDEO here somewhere ... 🧐 🤔 😉...). That way, all is to hand, but not impinging on possible dinner guests. BUT (!!) ... BY ALL MEANS, DO NOT G O D E E P!!! ANY thing that ends up with "something ELSE" in front of it, IS LOST F O R E V E R!!! (Just think of your under-sink areas in kitchens & baths!!

Thank you so much for your great ideas! My sewing/craft/office has become a ‘home’ for things to be repaired, sewing and craft supplies. Too many projects. It has been overwhelming! I started using your 21 plan yesterday - 14 to go. My plan is to store all of my sewing/quilting projects and supplies in the closet - except for 1 project. Since I have a smaller amount of craft supplies, they will be stored under my cutting table/bookcase/filing cabinet. My craft/sewing table will be stored under the table for easy access. I’m looking forward to having an organized room where I can find everything without doing a major ‘treasure hunt’.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Oh! I am so excited that you are doing this! Please keep me posted on how it goes!!

[@kathyphillips9482]

Perfect!!!! I recall hearing you say several times to "keep the things you use the most within arm's length." I have four primary hobbies. I put related supplies on each wall of my hobby room with a work surface in the center. By rolling my stool & a tool cart around the work surface, I can access whatever I need for each type of project. Once I got that far, I was even able to wedge in some books I love, a CD player & an easy chair for things like crocheting & needlepoint, & - of course - watching your videos. Next up: refining each wall by applying the bullseye method. It's a lot of work, but it's SO nice to see things begin to make sense! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for providing so much inspiration, practical tips & instruction!!! Could never have gotten this far without you!!!

Thank you so much for this video! My problem is that I have crafting ADD. I’ll be really interested in something and will move on to something else before I finish projects. I have stuff EVERYWHERE. I’m a mess, my space is a mess, and I have random craft stuff all over the house. I’m not just riding the struggle-bus I’m the driver, the mechanic, and the tour guide!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

LOL I think I've toured with you!!! Trust me, I've been there too!!! Start by getting the like crafts together. And, even though it's hard, narrow it down to your top 10. The rest get stored away (for now). Focus on those top 10 and if one isn't cutting it, you can swap it out - or let it go! Keep doing this until you have truly decided what you enjoy doing.

[@olderendirt]

I'm right there, too. It's like I'm all gungho to do a project and I'll hit a road bump or set it away supposedly temporarily, but it's just not what I want to do because it's lost its appeal. But I find if I kind of force myself to do it I feel very satisfied finishing it. I also have realized I have enough toys to play with so I rarely buy new supplies.

[@amkarei]

@@olderendirt Oooo ... SMART PERSON YOU ARE (regarding "shopping within your stash")!!! Just for fun -- and to see if it has any real impact -- try having someone take a photo of you with EACH of a few of the projects you've finished. Try really REALLY hard to try to project the feeling of accomplishment you had AT THE MOMENT of completion, then post those pics in proximity to where you craft. See if these pics can maybe change the "git 'er dun! push" to "Oh, let's get THAT feeling again!!" And -- if it works -- CONTINUE posting your successes!!

[@olderendirt]

@@amkarei That's a good idea. Like an inspiration board. I do have my photos in a Made by Me type folder and have hard copies of some in a box, but maybe displaying them would be good motivation. Thanks!

[@amkarei]

Have you tried committing to a project to help someone else? "We" seem to be great at doing for others, but never get around to doing for ourselves. When we COMMIT (SAY "IT" ALOUD!!), we are obligated to "DO". And don't we feel W O N D E R F U L when THAT happens? Or, conversely, ASK for help! One of three things (or maybe ALL three ...) will happen: 1) the help will actually BE help, and you will succeed in getting your space sorted out; 2) the "help" may not get the immediate need accomplished (may EVEN p*ss you off!?), but MAY light your fire to make a more concerted effort to get the mess minimized; and/or 3) win you a crafting companion that'll share your varying interests and M A Y B E even an occasional glass of wine!! Be well (not wilty!)

Hey Norrine....what a great name for an organization method, ie the Bullseye Method! I've realized over the past year or so of crafty organization that because I have an 'over abundance' of items, that I need to have an 'outside inventory area so obviously, this has to be stored in the farthest area from 'the bullseye' LOL, in my case, in another room as my craft room is about 10 by 11 feet. Even though I had sorted 'like items', I was finding my the time I got to sorting other like items, I was running out of room so I had to go back and break down these categories again into smaller groups so that I could store more items in my craft room. It was kind of 'twice the work' because I was having to go back to essentially re-organize, so I wanted to mention this to others who are planning to organize, especially those of us who 'over-shopped' and have an abundance of, say adhesives (that's another story but one lesson I have learned). You are the best dear and as always, thanks for sharing!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Our craft areas are the same size!!!!! LOL It's hard to fit all of the things you love into one small space... So, YES! If you can store some of it out of the main bullseye - it really helps! But (I speak from experience) leave yourself a note of where your extras/supplies are! You will thank me later. I add notes to so many things with "extra glue in _______" or, "drummel in _______"). I'm always so happy with myself when I find notes helping me remember where I've stored things. :D

I've been keeping some rarely used supplies in storage in the garage, and thought there was something wrong with me that I couldn't keep them "handier."

I bought an ink storage for my Distress Oxide inks as I use them ALL the time, but it is deeper than the ink pads and if I’m not careful they get pushed back too far and I can’t get them out!

F.Y.I. ... "Vitamin C Boosts Iron Absorption. Vitamin C, also called ascorbic acid, strongly enhances the absorption of nonheme iron, but it must be consumed at the same time as the nonheme iron. When they're digested together, vitamin C combines with nonheme iron to form a compound that's more easily absorbed." Caffeine impedes the absorption of Iron.

Beautiful idea! Thank you! You helped me so very much! I inherit my Grandfather's newer Hoosier cabnet, he had it custom made in 1977. I have it set up for polymer clay and my tea cup pincushion! It's 5'3in long! And 8ft tall, it has flour and sugar dispenser! What can I store in it! It does take up a lot of space, if you can help me?

OH MY GOSH!!! I am so jealous!!!!!! Can you send me a picture???? If I know what you are trying to fit in there... I may be able to help with suggestions. :) You can e-mail them to [e-mail]

I love this. Your visuals were very effective. I’m moving to SoCal after the first of the year. I really have to downsize my Etsy craft supplies inventory. I think using the Bullseye Method may help me prevent having to pay for offsite storage. TFS

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Depending upon where in SoCal, I might be able to come help you!!!

[@amkarei]

What kind of craft supplies do you sell on Etsy, and is "Fiber Goddess" your "store" name?

Hello Norinne

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Hello, my friend!!!! Is your weather cooling down yet??

[@lindaanderson7066]

Hello my name is Linda I have a large room that I use as craft room and sewing room. I love to do both. I make quilts and have a Gammill long arm quilting machine. My son in law didn’t follow my instructions very well when he closed in my old garage for this room it’s about 20x16. My long arm frame is 14’ long so its too long to put it like I wanted so I could maximize the room. Before wood became so expensive he built mr nice shelves desk plus I had some pieces I utilized so I wouldn’t waste them I’ve got storage on top of storage . I use to own a quilt shop so I have lots and lots of fabric. I really have a mess needless to say. I’m in the process of trying to figure ways to place things I need. I like to stencil etc. up cycle things. My grads have a very small area to do their crafts. My daughter has her cricket and her vinyl plus her cups she does occasionally. It started off to be mine but since I nice I share. We have tried to group of what each of use does but some of my equipment can be used in other areas then when I g to reach for it it’s disappeared. Do you have any subjections?

[@karenlittle2905]

Interesting. I didn't know I was using the "bulls eye" method in my craftrooma nd kitchen but I am :) Now I can refine it a bit with the suggesions you have made and that will be helpful. Thank you for your videos, I do enjoy them and learn a lot. Are the "Annie's" videos open for viewing or is it a membership type situation?

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

See??? So many people are surprised to find they are using it already. :D Annie's is a membership.... I wish I could share them. But you get me for free on KZbin. 😘

[@melissasmith3297]

For me from 1 spot i do mixed media which is kinda messy, papercrafting, and sewing. How does that work from the 1 spot I have to work with. All 3 are kinda intertwined because I at anytime use bits of one with another like sewing on paper and painted papers in my papercrafts etc.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

Can you send me some pictures??? [e-mail]

[@northerngal777]

I have been trying to organize my office/craft room for a long time. I've tried buying containers, none of which ever really work, and leave me more frustrated. This should be a simple concept, but how do I organize two areas within one space. There would really be 2 bullseyes and one interferes with the other. I only have a limited amount of room, so having to make this work. I don't have access to many of the places you encourage to shop - I live in a remoter area of Canada. No hobby lobby, nearest IKEA is a six hour drive away, no container store. Dollar stores are limited in selection which has led to the plethora of failed attempts. Thanks for any advice you can give.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

My space is half office/half crafting.... I use the same space for my seldom used items as my overlap area. And for the supplies... use what you have/or upcycle boxes, if you can. Also, Don't know if this is an option, but people are now selling Dollar Tree AND Ikea items through Amazon. The prices are a little higher - but at least you have access to the products. Please keep me posted! I'd love to help.

Lol I can't believe it but I have just got my new craft place, instead of being built we bought a mobile home/ static caravan and had it out in a small but if our garden, I'm going to make a video soon of it, see if you can spot anything for me that I can change around. The thing I can't believe is I've been doing the bullseye method while sorting this space!! I can't wait for you to see what it's like and give me your in put on it... I hope you are subbed to me lol then you'll get to know when I upload it. I need to cover some boxes to delegate things in cupboards and shelves, I wish I had more drawers but I don't do have to get on with what I have!!! Hugs x Ann x in Uk

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

I can't wait to see it!!!!!!! I already know when I get my RV, the bedroom area will be my craft space. LOL

[@craftylittlerthings]

@@TheCraftyOrganizer Well this is as big as an RV and I have the whole thing turning into a craft room, sitting room, two bedrooms and kitchen. I’ve even set up a bit to do my resin in the bathroom lol I’ll send you some pictures see what you think. What’s your email address? Hugs Ann x

[@Stacy_Scraps_Plans_Creates]

I noticed your craft desk is not on a wall rather facing out. Is there a reason for this? I’ve considered the same as I don’t like my back to the door but then I feel like it might make the room feel smaller. Appreciate your thoughts on this!

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

My "room" is a false area in the middle of my garage, created with bookshelves!!!! I'm doing a full room tour, you'll see it tomorrow. The craft table in the open space gives me the ability to use it from all sides... or have my kids join me. :D

[@Stacy_Scraps_Plans_Creates]

@@TheCraftyOrganizer oh I see, I love that. Can’t wait to see the tour ❤️

[@pmlind65]

I’ve use the bullseye method at work but find it difficult to implement in crafting because my immediate needs change based on my current interest.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

That's how I was in the beginning... but I found certain main tools always were grabbed..... and that my most favorite interests were pretty consistent. I swap them out sometimes, as certain crafts feel seasonal to me. Example... I won't be making any mini gardenscapes until spring.... so I can move those supplies out for now. Woohoo!!! More space for something else :D

Oh my friend. I need your help sooooo bad. I am overwhelmed big time. My house is a disaster mainly bc I’m trying to organize my little craft room. I have stuff in my living room my bedroom n my granddaughters room. It’s awful. I don’t let people in bc it’s so bad. I am disabled with Lupus, RA, Fibromyalgia, Addison’s,back troubles big times heart n lungs problems. I’m 63 n dumb as a stump when it comes to organizing. I need to be told what to do or how to do it. I’m open to anyone’s suggestions. I need help bad.

[@rachelburgener819]

Pam, it can be very overwhelming, not to mention daily life. 🙃 One place to start that might be helpful is weeding out what you may not want or use. Depending on your stock that you have and the projects that you want to spend time and energy on. I really find encouragement in writing a LIST of the things I want to accomplish; that doesn’t mean I get it done or misplace the list🙄lol. It seems to unscramble my brain.! Just keep plugging along, something is better than nothing. ❤️😀

[@Tobywedinikki]

@@rachelburgener819 thank you for your comment. It’s a great idea to write down what I’d Ike to accomplish thanks for suggesting it. Thank you again.

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

@Rachel - GREAT advice 💜

[@TheCraftyOrganizer]

We are are brought up being told to buy, collect, get more.... we are not 'taught' how to organize those things once we get them!!!! I always suggest getting all of the likes together. I love what Rachel Burgener said below... because once you have the likes together, you can start deciding what you really enjoy and want to spend your time on. I think it's a great place to start! And be kind to yourself. You didn't aquire all of these things overnight - so don't push yourself to get it organized overnight. xoxoxo

Pam you are so welcome!!! ❤️😀
