1. Use creative containers
This unique, vintage look was inspired by the items Kelli at Lolly Jane already owned. Her mother's 30 year old mason jars become a focal point for holding small craft items. Vintage suitcases and rustic crates hold larger items in front of a bright yellow and white  herringbone pattern. This craft room bookshelf could hold everything you need in one location to create beautiful crafts.
2. Create a corner craft station
If you are limited on space, make every bit count. This elegant design by Unskinny Boppy creates a small, but elegant craft room tucked in the corner of a room. A hanging lamp gives light while towel rod hangers keep items, such as markers and paints, off the counter. There are more inspirational pictures here.
3. Use space wisely
Cloth or plastic containers fit well in shelves and maximize your craft storage space. Tucked into a closet or bookshelf, these handy storage containers hold markers, stickers, paint brushes, and everything else you need for creative projects. Including labels makes it easy to find exactly what you need.
