I don't have a craft room, so I need to regularly declutter and organize my craft supplies to keep it contained. Are you also overwhelmed with your craft supplies as well? In this episode I'm going through some suggestions you made.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, it made me realize I too do not have to keep everything “just in case” I may need it…..😊 another tip for the small glue bottle (or any of them) is to ‘burp’ it before you put the lid on - this way the glue doesn’t dry in the nozzle……..thx & keep up the good 👍🏻 videos

I know this is a video that you created some time ago, but I want to Thank You for doing this and I'm happy I had a chance to view it. I agree, if things are neat and organized, I feel better when I start to create. It is also more calming to be in the space for me. I too have way too much of "stuff" and after two years of doing this, I see what really appeals for me and what no longer works....time to donate. One tip: your vintage stamps in the box, maybe take a nice piece of card stock that fits on the long side inside the box and stamp each image on the card to coincide with each stamp in the box. I know, I forget after time which is which...it is easier than digging in the box....hope this hit helps. I have a bunch of misc and large punches given to me so I made punch cards and put the cards in a small photo album 4x5" and all I have to do is look at the album and refresh my mind on what I have. Thanks again for inspirations. Hugs from MN

Hi Barbara, I have been enjoying your declutter vids (and all the others too!) and I hope there are more to come. Here are my tips: 1) Outta sight, outta mind! I hate to see you not using those velcro bags; they are clear for a reason - so you can SEE what you have. It's easy to forget what supplies you have when they are in a container, in a container, in a container. Not sure how strong the velcro is but even it you put a beautiful tin in a pouch, it would free up space. 2) Keep like with like; I keep all my sharps in the same pouch, all my envelopes in the same drawer etc. 3) what you use every day should be closest to you and easily reached, rarely used items farther away or underneath. 4) When you are done crafting, put EVERYTHING away - where it belongs. Staying tidy is half of organization! I have been streaming your videos for 2 days and I can probably tell you what should go where but then it wouldn't be your craft area, it would be mine! Stay strong, keep doing what you are doing and it will all fall into place. Regards, Rose

I've just watched these 3 declutter videos back to back. One thing that you say repeatedly: "I don't know why I never use these?" My suggestion: make a list of all the things you said this to, for example, the postage stamp album with ephemera in it, so visible and easy to use and make yourself pull those out every time you sit down to craft. You might even consider moving some drawers around to have an easy-to-reach section of "things I need to use more often". I really love the idea of putting things you made into their own album. I will call mine "Pretties" and use it for inspiration. We use photo albums to remember good times we documented with photos, why not do the same for the creations that we love. Oh. Here's another idea. Take a photo of them and keep the photo and not the original. That frees up the original cluster, tag, and ephemera to sell, give away or use!

I think for the material scraps that are too short to wrap you could take the same cardboard and staple on end of the scrap to the cardboard and have it in such a fashion that you can flip through them and only need to remove the staple if you are using that whole one or just snip off a piece.

@bettylongshore9594 2 жыл бұрын

Your new jars look amazing!!!!!! I don't know how accesable you washi tape is but I was thinking you could store your washi tape in the plastic velcro bags on the door. You could index which washi tapes are in the bages by displaying a strip of the tape on the flat side of the bag that's on the outside. You could just grab whichever bag you need and go with it. I hope that makes sense!!!!! Just thinking that would free up some space inside for you!

I appreciate the suggestion. I currently have all my washi in one of those big acrylic drawers and see them all at once, which works great.

The vintage wooden spools could be used to make really cute Christmas ornaments OR the smaller ones could be used as dangles on a journal!

You could put all those things you have in ziplock bags in the zipper things on the door. Then you could use some of your paper creations to label them.

Oh wow it’s looking so cute!! Love those jars.I’m constantly organizing and reorganizing my bits and pieces and I definitely find that I use the things up that I can see or if I know exactly where they are. Sometimes i like to go through stuff and pull out some bits of things that I haven’t been using, and then put them into the pretty visible storage and that causes me to use them. It’s a rotation that’s been working really good for me..and I can choose when I do it, helps keep crafting from getting stale.

Beautiful jars! Really adds cuteness to your area. I like "My Happy Spaces" idea of the curtain to cover the velcro wall. But some thing that might be easier to use would be a roll-up blind.

Create Room has plastic clear jars that fit in the doors of your Dream box. Also if you keep reading your gelli plate instructions you are suppose to remove and not use the plastic that it is packaged in, store it in the clam shell case but not the plastic sheets.

Omg another idea for the door: what if you made that door a magnetic sheet and then could put any of the containers that have multiple spots (like your plastic containers that have all of your metal items) could go onto the door and then all of them would be visible? I keep just adding magnets to things so I can see them at a glance 🤣 My biggest struggle is knowing what to do with all of my paper scraps, papers, different ephemera, pages-all the paper things 😳

Great idea, thanks! I struggle with those bigger items too! 😬

I wanted to explain how the ikea towel rack works for your punches. I have them on the back of my craft room door. They never fall down. When you have the towel rod hung you just slide the punch against the door with the handle of the punch over the rod and that holds them in place. I hope that made sense. Please send me a message if you need more information. You are making so much progress. I really love the jars on top of your cabinet. Hugs, treen ✈️💜💜💜

I noticed that you have a couple of containers of WHITE buttons in the small space in the cabinet. Would they fit well in the large jar you had not used yet?

I don’t think there are enough to justify a whole jar and I don’t want to mix them with other colors, but thanks! ❤️

Why don’t you make snip it rolls with your spools! Using your fabrics and buttons and whatever you have to make a decorative piece and put through a hanger wire and hang it up ❤️

You can also use glycerin on your ink pads if they're dried out a couple of drops and run the glycerin through the pad with a credit card And it'll rehydrate your ink pad

I love the jars you found!! I was thinking that if you haven’t already gotten rid of the punches yet I wonder how much they cost to ship? I’ve been wanting some so bad but can’t afford them but maybe I could afford to pay you to ship yours to me?

Elizabeth St Hillaire reported in one of her videos recently that you should never store your gelli plate between the two plastic sheets that the plate comes wrapped in when you buy it. She said it can end up sticking to and ruining your plate. She said it’s ok to store it in the clamshell packaging that it comes in but don’t store it between those two plastic sheets. I have always kept the sheets and stored my plate that way and have had no issue but I’m going to throw them know that I know.

I never knew what ephemera was nor ever heard of it before so I googled it and the results said “ Ephemera is not normally considered something to collect, save, cherish or keep.” so now I am really confused.

Due to my husband's death last year, I'm having to sell my house and downsize so I've been looking at these. Also, I just love you videos. Thank you for all your advice and help
