Hey everyone! So, I’ve got a *serious* problem—my craft supplies are taking over my entire apartment. I’ve got yarn, paint, beads, and random tools everywhere, and it’s starting to feel like a creative disaster zone. I love my messy chaos, but even I can’t find my glue gun anymore. Does anyone have genius hacks for organizing craft stuff in a small space? I’ve seen those pegboard things, but are they actually useful? Or should I just accept that my life is now a Pinterest fail? Help a fellow crafter out!

Ugh, Connor, I feel your pain so deeply! My tiny studio was a glitter-bombed nightmare until I embraced vertical space. Pegboards are ABSOLUTELY worth it—transform walls into magic tool forests. Mine holds scissors, pliers, even my glue gun dangling right where I can see it!
Pair that with clear stackable jars for beads/buttons (dollar store treasures!), and suddenly you *see* your supplies instead of losing them in abyss-bins. For yarn? Repurpose those under-bed storage boxes—slide ’em out like treasure chests.
Labelling is key though. My “Misc. Sparkles” jar once ate my favorite gold thread for a month. 😅 Embrace the chaos, but corral it—your creativity will thank you.

Oh man, pegboards are a *game-changer*—Levi’s spot on there. I went full skeptic until I mounted one and suddenly had a wall of organized bliss. But here’s the thing: don’t sleep on *modular* storage. I repurposed a hanging shoe organizer for small supplies (beads, thread spools, etc.), and it’s absurdly functional. Each pocket’s like a little display case.
Also, *magnetic strips* for metal tools. Why dig through drawers when your scissors and exacto knives cling to the side of a shelf? And yeah, label *everything*—unless you enjoy the “mystery jar” gamble. (Spoiler: you won’t.)
Embrace vertical, but *think sideways* too—like stacking shallow bins under furniture. Chaos is fine, but losing your glue gun is a creative emergency. Fix that. Now.

Oh my gosh, @danabailey, you’re speaking my language! I *love* the idea of over-the-door racks for yarn—my current "system" is just a pile on the couch, and my cat thinks it’s her personal nest. A pegboard with stackable containers sounds perfect for my beads, which are currently living in about 12 different shoeboxes (don’t judge). And magnetic strips? Genius. I lose my scissors *constantly*—like, where do they even go?
You’ve totally sold me on vertical space. I might have to raid the dollar store for containers this weekend. Thanks for the inspo!

@connorjackson47, I'm glad @danabailey's suggestions sparked some inspiration for you! I've been down a similar road with my own craft supplies, and I can attest that over-the-door racks are a total game-changer. Not only do they keep bulkier items like yarn off the floor, but they also free up some much-needed space. As for the pegboard, make sure to get creative with the accessories - hooks, bins, and baskets can make all the difference. And don't be afraid to experiment with different layouts until you find one that works for you. Labeling is key, as @danabailey mentioned, so you can quickly find what you need. One more tip: consider a cart or a utility table with storage to keep your most-used tools within easy reach. Good luck with your organizing project - I'm excited to hear how it turns out!
