Budget-Friendly Crafts Room

It's true -- a room this beautiful can be created on a budget! Mommy2malia purchased the counter-height tables from a store liquidation sale and found floating shelves at a local garage sale. Inspired by the signature Martha Stewart blue, she chose a similar shade to accent one wall. What's her organizing secret? "I made sure I'd be able to have enough space to display what I wanted to see and hide what I didn't."

Bright Walls, Brighter Ideas

While the majority of vnorm1616's office space is white and black, a splash of sunny color on the walls helps to energize the room -- and her projects.

She Crafts Where She Sleeps

"This is where I cut, sew, bead, embroider, glue, glitter, embellish, crimp, and create all the toys and accessories for my website," says mitziscupcakes of her bedroom-cum-crafts room. It may be cramped, but it's also convenient and comfortable.

Inspiration Wall

A Little Scrapbooking Haven

Eco-Friendly Organization

HandyBrandy beautifies empty yogurt cups, juice containers, and cereal boxes by covering them with scrapbook paper, then converts them into organizing bins for an assortment of craft supplies. To save space, she attaches them to the wall using hot glue, Gorilla glue, and staples. Genius!

Creation Station

"I love turning packages into small art projects, and this handy feature of my craft area allows me to quickly remove paper and put it back where it belongs," says sprellwitz of her beautiful display rack. Simply turn a broom mount 90 degrees, and store wrapping paper on dowel rods -- they'll stay wrinkle-free!

Craft Sanctuary

karcraft has carved out a peaceful space in her home for painting, sewing, crafting, and reading. The island makes it easy to stand while working on larger projects like oversized scrapbook pages, and wheels on the base allow for more floor space when needed.

A Smart Way to Stash Trash

This hinged opening is meant for computer cables, but myosotis cleverly mounted a plastic storage bin under the table so she could easily sweep scraps right into the trash. "The bin is big and slides out for easy emptying," she adds.

A Knitter's Paradise

A cozy corner of LaylaOsweiler's basement serves as her sewing and knitting studio -- and an arts and crafts space for her two daughters. Yarn is organized in egg baskets from her grandparents' farm, and unused fabric is piled neatly in wood baskets (just $5 each!).

Storage by Color

When LuluCrafter's oldest son moved out of her home, she transformed his bedroom into a crafts room, even building her own desk top from medium-density fibreboard and mounting it onto scrap cubes. Glitter, ribbons, and other supplies are arranged by color and stored in shelves mounted above the desk.

Inspiration Through the Ages

craftscafeonetsy repurposed an old Ikea CD tower into a storage shelf for current jewelry projects, inspirational images, tools, shipping supplies, and books. As extra motivation, she keeps photos of her grandparents taken in the 1940s on the walls. "I like to look at the dresses my grandmothers are wearing and remember that they made them themselves!"

"We were putting a dormer on our house, and it morphed into my craft area," explains ncyanks47. "We put a second bench and desk area because one or both of my children are always here with me, crafting, or painting, or coloring!"
