These clear storage containers are inexpensive and work perfectly for craft room organization.
I’m so excited to be moving into a new craft room soon.
Since I’ve got the craft room on the brain, I’ve been on the prowl for cute, inexpensive storage options. I found these Darice Protect and Store Organizers.
They are perfect for holding paper, cards and half-finished projects. And they come in 8.5×11, 12×12 and 5×7 sizes. So much better than the cardboard boxes my supplies used to be shoved in.
UPDATE: It looks like these containers are no longer available. Womp womp. So sad!
These containers from Michaels are the best alternative I could find:
They go on sale for $4.99 each or can be bought in bulk for $4 each. They’re more expensive than the Darice boxes, but they are more durable and easier to open, so at least it’s an upgrade?
I really like that they are see-through so I know exactly what supplies I have.
But they are a little plain as-is.
Adorable die-cut chalkboard label stickers to the rescue! Can it get any easier?
Now I can label each bin and keep everything dust-free, organized, and easy to see!
Just a quick tip… don’t forget to season your chalkboard labels before writing on them for the first time. It’s easy: just rub chalk over the entire surface, then wipe clean and your labels will be seasoned and ready to write on.

I really need to learn to click the Rafflecopter thing to see if there are extra instructions. 🙂 I would probably use the Cricut to make fabric monograms for some Christmas gifts I am working on. I hate cutting out those curves by hand!
