15 Creative Craft Room Organization Ideas for the ADD Crafter

Crafting is a joy, a passion, and sometimes, a delightful mess! Especially for ADD crafters, keeping a craft room organized can be a bit of a challenge, but fear not! Here are 15 creative and fun organization ideas to keep your craft space tidy, inspiring, and ADD-friendly.

1. Color-Coded Storage Systems

Use colors to your advantage! Assign a specific color to each type of craft supply. This not only makes your room vibrant but also helps you quickly find what you need.

2. Clear Storage Bins

Out of sight, out of mind? Not anymore! Use clear bins to easily see what’s inside without needing to rummage through everything.

3. Pegboards for Tools

Pegboards are a lifesaver. Hang your scissors, tape, and other tools. It’s like a display and storage in one!

4. Magnetic Strips for Metal Items

Stick those pesky little metal items like needles and pins to a magnetic strip. It’s practical and kinda feels like doing a magic trick!

5. Over-the-Door Organizers

Don’t waste that precious door space. Over-the-door shoe organizers are perfect for storing smaller items.

6. Label Everything

And I mean everything. If you can put a label on it, do it. It’s a great way to avoid the “What’s in this box?” game.

7. Vertical Storage Solutions

Think upwards! Use tall shelving units to maximize your space. It’s like building a crafting skyscraper.

8. Rolling Carts

A rolling cart can be your movable crafting station. Plus, pushing it around can be quite fun.

9. Drawer Dividers

Turn a chaotic drawer into a neatly organized one with dividers. It’s like Tetris, but with your craft supplies.

10. Wall-Mounted Jars

Mount jars on the wall to store small items like buttons and beads. It’s functional and looks pretty artsy.

11. Under-Table Storage

Utilize the space under your table with bins or shelves. It’s like a secret hideout for your supplies.

12. Hanging Baskets

Hanging baskets aren’t just for plants. Use them to store yarn, fabric scraps, or anything else that fits.

13. Accordion Files for Paper

Keep your paper supplies neat and crease-free in accordion files. It’s like a personal filing system for your paper.



14. Corkboards for Insration

Hang a corkboard to pin ideas, patterns, or future project inspirations. It’s your personal vision board.

15. Dedicated ‘Messy’ Area

Embrace the chaos in a controlled way. Dedicate a small area where it’s okay to be messy. Sometimes, you just need to spread out!

Remember, the key to a well-organized craft room is finding a system that works for you. It doesn’t have to be perfect; it just needs to spark joy and creativity in your crafting adventures.

Happy organizing!
