Storage.com is here to help provide you with ideas and the storage necessary to make a transformation.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned craft enthusiast, you have probably seen first-hand how craft projects can take up a lot of space on your kitchen table or living room floor. Instead of crowding your living space with sewing materials, hot glue guns, fabric, and other craft essentials, consider turning your spare bedroom into a space that has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/crafting-storage\/\">craft room storage features<\/a> designated for every stage of your current and future projects.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of DIY craft bloggers, Storage.com has put together a list of craft room essentials and storage tips that will help get your remodel underway. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"invest-in-a-large-workspace\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#1: Invest In a Large Workspace.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12496\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_194887241-391x300.jpg\" alt=\"Craft space\" width=\"450\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_194887241-391x300.jpg 391w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_194887241-398x305.jpg 398w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_194887241.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to assembling a project, you want to make sure that you have enough room to spread out not only your necessary supplies, but the project itself. This is especially important for crafters who frequently use a sewing machine and other sewing essentials such as pin boxes, assorted thread, and measuring tape, as those items can take up a lot of counter space. By giving yourself enough room to spread out during the creation process, you won&#8217;t run the risk of knocking that box of pins on the floor as you are feeding your project through the machine.<\/p>\n<p>DIY craft bloggers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andsewwecraft.com\/2012\/03\/a-peek-inside-my-craft-room\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">And Sew We Craft<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thriftydecorchick.com\/2012\/02\/diy-craft-table.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thrifty Decor Chick<\/a> both show how a large work space can not only be functional, but also a statement piece in your designated craft area.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"stay-organized-with-storage\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#2: Stay Organized With Storage.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_114921340-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"Colored pencils\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_114921340-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_114921340-457x305.jpg 457w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_114921340.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to crafting, supplies can pile up fast! It&#8217;s important to find a way to keep all of your favorite and frequently used supplies organized and easily accessible. Even though you want to be able to see the supplies you have, you want to avoid having cluttered and unwelcoming space. Installing shelves or other craft room storage tools will not only make items easier to find, but you will also be able to quickly see if you are getting low on a particular product. There is nothing worse than thinking you are ready to start a project to only later find out that you are out of Mod Podge or a particular color of thread.<\/p>\n<div class=\"guest-blogger\">\n<blockquote class=\"td_pull_quote td_pull_center\">\n<div class=\"guest-blogger-img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/guest-blogger_kim.png\" alt=\"Kim Demmon, owner and founder of Today's Creative Life\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"guest-blogger-txt\">\n<p>&#8220;Installing cabinets and counter space for storage was key for me!

When it comes to assembling meticulous aspects of your project, you are going to want to make sure you can see what you are doing. Threading a needle is already hard to do, so make it easier by investing in an adjustable lamp that you can move back and forth during the different stages of your project. If you prefer to work on your project in natural light, make sure you position your workspace next to a window or underneath a skylight.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure what kind of light system to invest in? Amber, the writer of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damasklove.com\/office-hours-craft-room-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Damask Love<\/a>, does a lot of crafting at night. In order to see her work, she installed a few clamp work lights so she can shift the light on her crafts accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"layout-a-vision-board\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>#4: Layout a Vision Board.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12499 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_198609269-449x300.jpg\" alt=\"Vision Board Ideas\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_198609269-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_198609269-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_198609269-457x305.jpg 457w, https:\/\/www.storage.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_198609269.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whether you are following a sewing pattern or have printed out step-by-step instructions, create a vision board to keep your paperwork in an area where you can see it while working on a project.

By having these items in a designated area, you won&#8217;t run the risk of accidentally throwing away important materials.
