  • Craft Room Tour || Budget Friendly Basement Craft Room || Makeover and Organization Series Part 1
    Hello and Welcome. My name is Donna. I have my Craft Room set up in our unfinished basement. I am taking you on a tour of my space and sharing what works for me, what doesn't and the plans I have in mind for the space to make it into a better CZcams studio / Craft space to create in. I have used things I already had on hand, thrift store finds, garage sale items as well as things I purchased from Walmart or other staore! There's no Ikea close to me so I have to use what I can on a budget!!

    Thank you so much for being REAL! This is how most real crafters rooms look. I’m interested in seeing the end product. I found you not too long ago but usually watch you on my husbands channel because his is connected to our TV. My craft room is like this too and I need to organize it really bad. Again, thank you for being real and honest! 💕

    Hi Donna. I store my cardstock in magazine holders BUT I lay them on their sides so that they are only 9" tall and 12" long. The paper doesn't bend that way and it's so easy to reach up and only take out 1 paper instead of having to lift the entire magazine holder down to get 1 paper.

    • @MossCottageMarket
      @MossCottageMarket Před 2 lety +2

      That's such a great idea De Light! I have mine stored upright and can't stand having to take the whole thing out to get one piece of paper. Thanks so much!

    • @creartivebynature
      @creartivebynature  Před 2 lety

      I will have to try it out. Off to the store to get magazine holders 😄

    Donna I'm so glad you are doing this video series. I am in the middle of cleaning my craft room too. I'll do a video soon. However, it's great to see what works and doesn't work for other people so I can either do, or avoid doing those things. Like you, I love vintage containers to store my stuff. It is really an honor to see where all your wonderful crafts are made. I wish you all the best for 2022! Blessings, Helen💖🥰💖

      I look forward to seeing your space too.
      Yes, my recording area is very basic but it works 😉

    You are fortunate to have so much natural light. My basement only has a small basement window close to the ceiling. I am blessed to have a space that used to be my daycare, so it's divided into 2 rooms. One of which used to be the very small kitchen & then a half bath. The kitchen will be my painting area, because of the sink for cleaning up. Just wish I could get motivated to get back to cleaning & organizing it. Glad to see I'm not the only one

    • @creartivebynature
      @creartivebynature  Před 2 lety +1

      Oh your space sounds awesome 😃 I would love a sink!!
      Yup, I need to keep myself motivated too!! It's a battle some days 😉

    My craft is a disaster as well. I don’t use IKEA products either. I’m trying to reorganize my craft room as well. It’s taking a toll on me doing it too. I have more stuff that room. 😫 I absolutely love your channel. This is why! You don’t try to push the Cricut machine down our throats for one. Here lately every video I watch now that’s what they’re doing now. So I’ve unsubscribed to their channel. Some of us can’t afford tools like that nor have the know how to use one. I have the basic tools like everybody else does. You keep everything down to earth and simple. I respect that and you. 👍🥰♥️💕❤️💖

    • @creartivebynature
      @creartivebynature  Před 2 lety +1

      Aw, you are so sweet and kind!!! 🤗 I try my best to mix it up here. I do occasionally use my Cricut Joy, but I do realize that not everyone has a machine like that, I was one of those crafters at one time😉 I appreciate the feed back! It helps me to know what my viewers like!
      Ugh, my craft room has been turned upside down again, moving furniture around, purging, etc., not fun! But I know I will be happy I did it once it's done.
      I wish you the best on your craft room journey.
      Thanks again for your kindness. Take care 💖

    I wish I had a craft room! My crafts move around the house with me, jewelry on a card table, crochet on my bed with yarn all over the floor. The only thing organized is my painting stuff, my fabrics and stuff like that. I wish I had a craft room!

      @creartivebynature  Před 2 lety

      Aw, I went for years without a craft space. I finally made my own space in a corner of our unfinished basement, fabric for walls!! Hopefully one day you will have a space of your own, even if it's a little nook.

    Very nice. I take it you have a nice dry basement! That's great! I like your all of your various storage systems with so much natural wood. I spotted your little Pears tin. I've used that soap since I was young and my grandmother did, too. I'm anxious to see the rest of your series and subscribed. You have a great, gracious personality, too. Thanks for sharing.

    I’ll be following along with your series. I don’t have a designated craft area, but I’m fairly new, so I don’t have as much supplies, but I deal with “craft corners “, all through the house, lol, which absolutely does not work. I love the idea of using what you have on hand and recycled shelves, desks, containers. I’m not looking for magazine worthy or spending a ton of money, I need functionality and organization!! 👍

    I put 4 hanging rods in the small walk in closet. I hang all of my fabric (huge stash) on hangers. That has been a huge help. Plastic drawer units with clear drawers store extra fabric that is too small to hang. Good luck!!

Some of my smaller, coordinating fabric that I have for quilting, in gallon size zip lock bags. I use clothes pins to attach them to hangers. That rod is outside of the closet.

I’ve been working on a large set of ornaments for each of my kids. I loved the log cabin and my favorite as well. My crafting room needs a good cleaning and some reorganization too.

      Ya, I got it from Walmart. I bought them a couple years ago now, but I'm sure there's something similar available. I'd check Amazon. It has 4 pockets. I secured it to my wall using thumb tacs. I have an unfinished basement, so my walls are bare. I really like it. I do need to switch things out seasonally or just keep everyday florals/greenery in there.but if you have the space, it makes a great storage for all your florals. Hope this helps.
