Any time you want to double up on space, say using a guest room to do your crafts, the most important thing you could do is to have a place for everything.

Meaning, containers of all shapes and sizes. That is so when your guest comes all you need to do is put the crafts away in their containers for a quick clean up. That is the easiest way to go about organizing a craft room /organizing sewing rooms / or organizing for scrapbook rooms.

Rolling Cart
A Rolling cart is perfect for organizing a craft room. Because the drawers hide well, when you need to clean up the room fast, just tuck your projects into a drawer and roll it away into a closet or in a corner and use as a nightstand.


Craft Wall Organizers
It is always good to utilize walls for storage. This way, your countertops and flat surfaces don't have to be covered with craft supplies. This is important for when a guest comes, because they too will want the counterspace for their belongings. Hang up what you can.

Clear Plastic Storage boxes
You're bound to be working with little pieces of beads, buttons, etc. if you are crafting or sewing. Keep the little pieces divided up in their own compartment. Stick to it and you'll have a home for even the littlest item.
First sort your supplies to see what you have, then decide how many containers you'll need for organizing a craft room / organizing sewing rooms / organizing for scrapbook rooms.

Craft Table
You need room to spread out when doing crafts. But when you are not doing crafts, you don't need all of that countertop space. A folding craft table does the double duty of organizing a craft room and at the same time, being a functional dresser for guests. You can store your rolling carts underneath the craft table, or fold it up and make it small. Your choice.


Room Divider
The easiest way to double up the use of a room into two is with a folding screen as a room divider, or, use it to cover up all the clutter of your projects. Use it when you are really in a pickle!

2. Seperate buttons, beads, ribbons, fabric from each other.

4. See what size containers are needed for for each of the kinds of crafts. Use apothecary jars to store buttons and place them decoratively on your work surface/dresser for guest room. Use skirt hangers to hang fabric from in the closet. Use rolling carts to store scrapbooking layouts that need to be stored flat (use the drawers).
