How To Organize Your Craft Supplies When Space is Limited

May 27, 2018 by Francine Clouden

When you are limited on space for scrapping and crafting, organization is key! A good solution is to use a system that gets your tools and supplies off your working surfaces and on the wall. Think shelving systems, peg board or book cases. Head over to Eighteen25 to see one way you can do just that.

Here are my top 5 things to have near your sewing machine to enhance productivity.

Quality Scissors or Rotary Cutter: Keep sharp scissors or a rotary cutter handy for precise fabric cutting, ensuring clean and accurate edges.

Seam Ripper: Have a seam ripper nearby to quickly fix mistakes without damaging your fabric. It’s a valuable tool for any sewing project.

Pin Cushion and Pins: A pin cushion with an ample supply of pins helps secure fabric pieces and patterns, facilitating efficient and organized sewing.

Measuring Tools: Include a measuring tape and rulers for accurate measurements and straight lines. This ensures your projects meet the desired specifications.

Bobbin Organizer: Keep an organized bobbin case or holder to easily access various thread colors. This saves time and prevents interruptions during sewing sessions.

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
