THRIFTED CRAFT ROOM SETUP | NEW DOLLAR TREE BIN ORGANIZATION | PART SEVEN!!!

I am so happy that the $50 craft room desk that I found at the thrift store fits in my new crafting space! Now that the desk is in the craft room, I can start organizing. I have found some great Dollar Tree bins that work perfectly in this new space! Check out my latest craft room setup video to see how I organized using thrift store and Dollar Tree products!

It’s so much more fun watching someone else organizing their craft room than working on organizing my own craft room!!! I enjoyed this video and think everything looks great! TFS!

[@susanmckee3010]

Forget a craft room. Deep down I think you want a container room. You love buying new containers. Have fun with your new home and whatever makes you happy 😊.

[@arielsea9087]

Susan Mckee I just kept thinking about all that plastic.

[@SofieKittie]

I have a suggestion for the cube shelf - use baskets or cube storage baskets to put the fabric in so it doesn't look too messy! And just store the fabric in them vertical so you can see everything you have and be able to pick it out easily without making a mess

[@MaineBowMama]

For anyone wanting to store fabric in those cubes: wrap it around cardboard cut to size and pin it when you're done. This way you can stack it like books or files.

[@pcfloresnm]

I live watching people organizing because I always find new ideas. Can't wait to watch as the room progresses.

[@roxannepratt5187]

Suggestions: the cube unit - either turn it the tall way, hang it on the wall (above desk where frames are), or under desk (against the backwall - which I did and it doesn't really limit your knee space since you don't have your full leg length under a desk when sitting at it. Also material definitely in fabric drawers from dollar tree for a neater look. Love your use of both storage containers. I use black labeling to keep it all uniform looking but like your idea of blue to match the container lids. Definitely coming along nicely 👌 Love the "backsplash" on the desk.

[@patwanner1781]

The cube organizer makes it feel crowded, but what a great organizing video. You got so much done. Thanks for sharing.👍🏻

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@ginahowe2645]

Those latch top bins are the best.

[@stampedinhisimage1]

I was in Dollar Tree today and picked up a flyer they had hanging from a shelf telling their customers that you can order online if they don't have the quantity you need in your store! That works for me! I recently bought the whole box of those clear rectangle boxes in the store and would have bought more if they had them. I think there were four colors in the box with about 3 or 4 of each color. A couple had badly damaged lids so I asked for a huge discount and they sold me the two damaged ones for 25 cents each. Worked for me!!! I taped the dickens out of them and they will function as well as the others. I like that even the colored boxes are very lightly colored and very see through. I don't even have them all filled yet. I also bought for $1.50 each last weekend at Diaso some containers that will hold my wood mount rubber stamps or my 8 1/2 X 11 papers and a bunch of other things. They were sturdy with a clam shell lid, I like them attached to one side so they don't fall off the table and get stepped on by the great grand kids. They also have a handle, very sturdy. I haven't even decided where to put them. Loved your video, keep them coming. :)

[@Cherylsgirls]

Wow, everything is really coming together and looking great! The only thing I would add in the cube shelf under the window are cube fabric boxes that your fabric would go into. That would really clean up the look of that area. Looks great though!

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you! Great idea!

[@cecilehoare3053]

Looking pretty good, love those clear boxes you got for inside the cabinet! I have something similar but they fit a full 8.5 x 11 sheet without any of it curling up. I use them to organize my sewing notions. I find when I have fabric in bins or baskets I don't use it because I can't see it. One thing I like for smaller pieces is rolling them and tying them with a ribbon and using a fabric marker write on the ribbon the length of fabric it's tying up. No second guessing and no unrolling and rerolling. I love how you have your certificates up above the desk, looks great!

[@aliyakeller2573]

Great fabric tip💡 thanks for sharing

[@sbonhamleo]

Your ideas are fantastic!!

[@cherylb1025]

Where did you get your clear boxes?

[@lynnbrown9156]

That is the two best storage boxes..this year I use the peach colors..love them :)

[@sandradunaway3923]

I could watch you organize items all day long...you are so good at it all.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@TJHutchExotics]

Also-‘I thought I had an over abundance of craft supplies- I see that I am not alone! Lol

[@dianeboileau2026]

Its so satisfying when you get everything organized! I know because I've been doing the same thing in my craft room! It's really looking good! Thank you for sharing!

[@ThriftedLiving]

So true!

[@funluvinchick]

I’m currently setting up my craft room, after 2 1/2 years of it just being a catchall. It is quite the process. But little by little I know I’ll get it done. Just like you. Thanks for sharing.

[@aliyakeller2573]

Tell me about it... i have to organize mine and I am so dreading it 😞

[@ThriftedLiving]

That's so exciting! Good luck! I would love to see how it turns out!

[@AnitasDreams]

Love the craft desk. Taking things out of their packaging also makes it easier to store it. It feels so good to get your craft room ready I have just redone mine.

[@marisamontano2790]

I like listening to creative people like myself it’s like a mix between creative mind(being free) and ocd (being organized) lol! You’re room looks great!!!

[@cindyyeager4532]

Love your carft room

[@darlenerenshaw5565]

Love the containers

[@amyfouts9781]

Thank u so much 4 sharing a thrifty way 2 organize a craft room. So greatly appreciate it. Have a great day.

[@Stitchandstorytime]

The wider flat containers fit washi completely and when you put them on their side 5 or 6 fit across the raskog or Lexington cart

[@dewizdew5873]

Wrap your fabric around cardboard, then stack long side showing so you can easily see the patterns. You've done a great job. I use to have a craft/sewing room. I've forgotten how much I missed it till I saw yours. Thank you for sharing.

[@LaineIdeias]

Wow I love it 👍👏👏👏👏🌹🙋🏻‍♀️

[@telaracaves66]

Just a suggestion, why not get some wicker baskets to hold your fabric for the cubicle shelf. I think that would be a nice touch against the white.

[@TheMugLifeDIY]

Love the tip for the cricut rolls using the pin to keep them rolled! 👏👏👏👏💕💜💁‍♀️

[@dorothytackett9943]

Place furniture sliders under your fabric cubes. You will be able to slide it easily if need be. Love that you are organizing your space. A thought you may want to place the closed containers on the shelves because they are uniform and place things behind the doors that are kind of messy. Love what you are doing.

[@candiceallison9901]

The desk totally changed the space. It's looking wonderful!!!

[@ninak8506]

What a great use of the sure fresh containers. I haven't seen those flat boxes, but I've got several pencil boxes & craft box sizes for storage.

[@michelel965]

I used comic book boards to put my fabric on similar to bolts of fabric. Also, some cardstock cut in appropriate size and tacked inside of plastic boxes with glue dots will make your labels pop and give uniform look.

[@emmkaa2099]

...a comic book board. 🙎‍♀️ What is that? 🤷‍♀️ I might need one! 🧏‍♀️ Just kidding... but I might! Thanks 🙋‍♀️

[@sandrapride1046]

I need to dig into my craft room! I used DT pony tail holders instead of rubber bands to put together my knitting needles; I like that they protect and don't disintegrate like rubber bands. That might work for your cricut joy materials.

[@emm7528]

Genius!

[@sandrapride1046]

Em m probably an idea from someone else.

[@Glim246]

I just heard this idea somewhere else but you should definitely spread the word. I have ruined so many things with sticky disintegrated rubber bands. It's not a negative thing to share others ideas:)

[@ThriftedLiving]

Great idea!! I think I will try that!

[@marcellastrenger4176]

Looks really good.

[@luzberenguer9217]

I love what you did with all those bins, Still trying to organize my craft room without making it look too crowded. I need to have open space. love your idea very much I too love bins, especially see-through. Thank you for sharing every little tip helps...

[@irenebedoian409]

I just got though organizing my craft room. I used dollar tree bins. I have to get 5 more to replace the old ones. I really proud in what I did. It took over a week. Everything has a home good luck

[@lauriemyers3]

Getting my mojo started for a day of craft room organization...😬

[@rebeccahicks8]

I love 💕❤️ your organization... Craft items are fun! I will be soon doing mine.Keep Smiling 😊💕❤️

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@valkyriesardo278]

Salvage a discarded storm door that has row upon row of glass louvres. Remove the glass louvres and scrap the rest. The louvres are wonderful for narrow shelving, perfect for small items in a craft room, medicine cabinet, kitchen, etc. You can get the length cut shorter if needed.

[@kristinaanderson8644]

I hope those teaching tree containers come back to dollar tree. They are perfect for storage. Nice job. 👌

[@joanshute3384]

Good Morning karen! !! Your craft room looks very nice and Organized. I Love, Love, Love your new Desk. I can't wait to see it all done. Thank you for sharing. So until next time God Bless you and your husband and have a Blessed day and Stay Safe my Friend.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@sylviaesposito4757]

Looking good. Put your fabric in fabric bins and then on the shelves where you have them.

[@christaylor3837]

I'd roll the fabric and store in the fabric bins that fit in the cube organizer

[@mamatharajanna2397]

Thank u soomuch , looks great .

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@dandmpug]

I'm sure this won't matter since it's been three years since you posted this, but a good, easy, cheap way to organize your fabric on shelves is to buy Dollar Tree foam boards and cut them into pieces that fit your shelves and wrap your fabric around them. Then you just "file" them on the shelves. Looks much better than just stacking it in piles!

[@craftiejjnewton7097]

TFS looks nice👍Stay safe

[@summermoore577]

If you have a closet I would hang your fabrics in there by hangers to easily go through and don't have the cube taking up too much space.

[@valkyriesardo278]

I prefer the closet to the cubes for fabric. After all, Closets are perfect for protecting clothing which are mostly of cloth. Fabric near a window can fade. Near a floor it can collect dust. Stacked fabric is difficult to keep tidy. On hangers it is less bulky, easier to sort, and doesn't crease. Some specialty fabrics are too delicate for hanging so those can be boxed. My mother had an entire wall of fabric stacked on shelving, but most of the stacks were boxed separately. The boxes were cut on the diagonal open at the front and top (like a magazine holder). She made clothing, theater costume, and in later years, doll dresses for the church bazaar. Her work table faced her fabric wall so she could gaze at her mountains and dream.

[@bettylou3709]

I like closed containers too. A craft space can get really dusty and lids help. It is surprising how much dust paper crafts can make.

[@LindaMZH65]

How about moving the sewing machine and all the accessories over to that cube behind the desk? That way, everything sewing related is together. 😁

[@gailagilliland3268]

I love this video! Watching you organize your space inspires me. I live in a small apartment and have my supplies in my dining area (DA) and in my bedroom. I bought a tall storage unit at the Restore and it fills one wall in my DA. Two wheeled metal storage shelving units also occupy space in the DA, one in front of closet doors and the other beside my chair at the table where I craft. In the bedroom I have two 2-drawer plastic units that are glued together to make one 4-drawer tower. This area needs to be re-organized for better use. I have a lot - I mean a LOT - of 12 x 12 paper pads and about half of them are in the bedroom in plastic storage containers. Four of these containers are on top of a six unit cubby; said cubby holes pink ribbon and the other slots hold sweaters. The sweaters need to go into a drawer, so you have inspired me to pick up some good sized plastic containers at the dollar tree to organize ribbon by color. I apologize that this got so lengthy. ♥️ PS I am a brand new subscriber.

[@justtubingby129]

You could put the fabric into nice baskets which are made especially for the cube. This way, you have something natural and elegant rather than replacing plastic with more plastic.

[@lindacrespo4038]

I would put the learning tree containers in the piece under the window 😊

[@StephRenee812]

Also, if soke people don't like the clear bowls with lids you can use watered down glue and paper and stick all over it, it them dry and paint them or blend up the color and put color in there and then put all over the bowls. Just thought I would throw that out there.. Great videos thank you for sharing

[@yolandastanford9223]

Thank you so much!!!

[@susanpatton1748]

I love the bins I bought several and looking for more. I hadn’t thought about the large food container. I have to pick some of them up.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

What kinds of crafts are you enjoying making? It’s amazing to have a craft space! I’ve never had one and just destroy my dining room for crafting! 😆

[@ThriftedLiving]

Lately I have been enjoying working through some of the Dollar Tree products that I have found in recent shopping trips to create DIYs! I'm also hoping to get my sewing machine setup soon to work on some thrift store makeovers!

[@samonsight8208]

i wish our dollar tree carry those clear bins with hinge.

[@bethdixon3896]

Everything looks amazing...I’m still in awe over the $50 desk 💕🥳👑

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you! Me too!!

[@caroynjohnson4535]

Ok when you get done you can come help me! I don’t have a craft room so you are lucky. I wish those storage containers were made deeper and even wider. It would be nice to have such a useful item in some different sizes. Great job take a rest. Take care

[@Glim246]

Joanns has two different sizes that are almost just like those. They are stupid expensive at full price but I just got some 50% off and then I had a 30% off my total order. The smaller version cost me about 3.50 and is perfect for 12 x 12 scrapbook paper. I only got one of the deeper ones because I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for. Hope that helps.

[@andrea.rivers]

Looks like it's shaping up nicely!

[@haveyougotyourtowel]

If the shelves block a drawer, you could attach wheels to the bottom and make it movable.

[@lourdesjames9289]

I liked those clear containers!!!! The cubes unit with the fabric could fit under your desk and still have room for your legs! If you move the desk a little bit, you can open the drawers and have the cube unit under! I have also seen fabric organized in hanging file folders! I think it would fit in that drawer! Blessings!

[@hannazimmermann4489]

you have so much stuff :) but it is very well organized. I love the desk too. It is way better than before. Even if there are some challenges with it.Greatings from Germany.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@carmenn5609]

Nice use of the dollar tree bins, I'd like to do that for my jewelry beads and supplies. Thanks!

[@jenxu2]

I needed to see this! I'm organizing my craft room....it's currently a junk room...ughhhh. You have inspired me! ❤😂❤

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@meghancl85]

I love the flat bins! So far I’m using them for stickers and bulletin board pieces.

[@pinkflamingosalwaysfascina8097]

Some tins from the thrift stores all painted to match would look nice for some of your items also. The craft room looks great and i love those curtains.

[@maggieanderson3778]

You did it again, my friend. No matter what you always get it done. Looks great.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you so much!

[@TeresaBranham]

Love how it’s coming together for you. An idea for your fabric is to get the white metal plate racks at DT to put the fabric in so their standing up, I think that would look so pretty. Can’t wait to see more!! Hugs 🤗 Teresa

[@ThriftedLiving]

Great idea!!

[@ginsup63]

I was delighted to find these latching DT storage containers at a couple of my local DT's. They work so well for embellishments. Wish DT would stock them year round. I need about 20 more. Your room looks great. I just got electric meter installed for my craft shed (14'×36'). You have given me some great ideas. My fabric stash will most certainly outlive me lol.

[@traceymac3972]

Order them online maybe? You can buy by the case. Any colors you don't want just resell them online. You could sell for more then $1 cause EVERYBODY wants those...least where I live (Philly burbs)....Good Luck!!

[@marylandgirl7358]

Put some of those soft sided cubes in the cube shelf and put your fabric in them. You could sort them by solids, floral, stripes, etc. ..or by predominate color. I love how much you were able to organize and all on a budget.

[@debschoen5581]

Looks great!, it is good to see you smile and organizing.

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@2pandas4me]

Love the cabinets you have on the walls. Awesome

[@tnwtr7097]

You have inspired me to tackle my craft mess. Thanks for the ideas 😊 . Tina

[@marysnelling4176]

Thanks for sharing, I’ll keep an eye out for the teacher storage containers. What about a fabric bins for your cubbies and wrap your fabric around a piece of cardboard and place in fabric bins like a filing system. 😊

[@christineschwenker5824]

Nice set up, glad the desk is back! Stay cool.

[@FrappsScraps]

You found some great containers! Happy crafting

[@fayemartin465]

love the flat storage containers you got from the DT

[@HappilyOrganizedChaos]

I love those little bins from the dollar tree! They are so great and the bins with the bins with the blue lids fit perfectly on that bookcase!! I can’t wait to see your room all finished!!!

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you!

[@elizabethquintanilla7258]

Very nice, well done. I really like your place

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you very much!

[@rhondapettitt8955]

Great Job

[@marshaanderson9176]

Everything is looking good

[@crystalduck9859]

I would put the fabric in the cupboards with doors: out of the light, to avoid fading. Boxes could go on open shelves, instead, as dust won’t get in the boxes.

[@RayneSaltair]

I sew and use those teaching tree containers to store zippers in. Easy to write on so I know what I'm running low with and need to replenish.

[@michellethompson483]

Store your fabric in the dollar tree fabric baskets. Tfs. your craft room.

[@jomar5578]

Love your tips for organization, thank you! I highly recommend organizing fabric with Comic Poster Boards and clipped on ends with plastic u shaped alligator clips. This allowed me to store my fabric in my 8 cubed shelf vertically.

[@vickinoeske1711]

Craft room is really looking good! Love the desk. I really like the clear shallow rectangular containers. Hope I can find some.

[@pamalapeterson5352]

You could the fabric under your desk on the left....God bless, comfort you, stay safe and healthy!

[@nancieblackburn3176]

Love your craft room! You are doing an awesome job organizing and decorating. Thank you for sharing!

What a comfort to the 👀 to see Such great organization...M♡M of 5

[@rosiecooper1261]

Loved your organization ideas. Now I'm going to have to look through mine and figure out what I could use those containers for. TFS.

[@nellstreasurebox]

I do like the cube by the window and if you do have to teach from home at your desk, you can replace the fabric with your teaching tools

[@LadySilke]

You are off to a great start! I have been searching for those opaque white containers for a while now. My dollar tree stores have not had them at all!

[@amyw6927]

This is my first time watching your channel and won't be my last. Thoroughly enjoyed it! One of my daughters jokes that I spend more time organizing my stuff than I do using it. Organizing is actually therapeutic. Wow, nice job of thrifting and organizing. It looks to me like you have a really good eye for seeing good quality items while you're thrifting. Well done, you!

[@ThriftedLiving]

Thank you for watching! I agree! I love organizing all of my supplies!

[@joanieornelas683]

I love the storage bins 💜

[@joycecarde7759]

OMG! You've inspired me to make everything I have in a more organized way! Love it!

[@ThriftedLiving]

I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!

[@TJHutchExotics]

9:02 love that pretty yarn storage!

[@lisap7173]

Totally loved all your storage ideas. I think for your cube storage use the fabric bin and label them. I used ikea ones for the size of the cube storage I have

[@joni22262]

Try color coding labels and use neon for visibility. Thanks for sharing.
