Trying Professional Organizer HACKS In My ART STUDIO?!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 24. 03. 2021
- Today I professionally organized my art studio and art supplies. I used some organizational hacks from professional organizers to make my small space more manageable!

Acrylic Containers: amzn.to/39cWX20
Chalkboard Labels: amzn.to/3vWG59g
Tiered Shelves: amzn.to/2P48fPa
Palette holder (I used for sketchbooks): amzn.to/3chmAAu
Filming Lights: amzn.to/3w0x3In
Camera: amzn.to/3slyZJq
Microphone: amzn.to/3sxwLGI
Face Down Metal Frame Table Tripod: amzn.to/3smVEoy

A few comments have said "make sure you donate the art supplies" and I would like to say that I did in fact mention that I would donate any art supplies that were still usable, but most of them were not and I had someone help chop some of this video down for me as it was over 4 hours long, they cut the part where I mentioned donating the puffy paint once I realized it was still full and usable. But I ended up keeping it anyway. To make it clear, I am heavily eco friendly, I donate clothes, items, old toys, unused product and my art supplies in the past I have usually collected and sent to people. Most recently I sent a big box to a young girl who didn't have many art supplies. I just don't splash that all over social media because I do things like that in private, so while I appreciate you mention me donating unused supplies, I do. And I didn't throw anything out except old dried out paint that was unusable to anyone.
Ok sorry I didn't read this but you shouldn't have explained why and I get it you don't do kind things on cam for fam or clout just from your heart have a great day and if u seel and paints that are use for cheap I'll buy I need paints
Hi chloe, that's fab we recycle wherever we can too. I can't see the link to the CZcamsrs vids that inspired today's organising video, did you forget it or am I being daft ? đ Thanks đ xxx
You are a great person
yeah me too and i cant see the links either. :)
Yay! â€â€â€â€
Not me watching and taking notes for my studio hahaha
Yep, same lol
btw, i love ur videos :)
Hi rae!
OMG I SENSE A NEW VIDEO IDEA..
Oop-
Wait.. i just realized this video was posted 11 hours ago, I DO have notifications on but i wake up late :/
2:00 "my problem stems from the fact that I seem to be physically unable to remain organized"
same. same chloe, same
At the end of the day being organized takes effort and when you're busy arting or anything you can either take the time to clean as you go or you're in the zone and need to keep moving and take the time to clean up later. đ
Of course for people who are comfortable in their clutter or have someone to clean it for them, they don't have to worry about either âș
ikr like its impossible for me too
đ„șđ„° isnât the creative mess part of the artistic journey đ!!
I suggest organize by your own habit...not by how other people organize...
ahhhhh yep, add-i (used to be adhd, inattentive type) is like this. i literally just... forget. like. i go to the kitchen to get a drink. the clock is blinking because a storm caused a flash brownout. i reset the clock. i leave the kitchen. much later, i am SO THIRSTY. i go to get a drink. I have forgotten the first time. the dishes distract me. i wash some of the dishes. i am now Irritated. I attribute it to letting the dishes get so dirty, and I'm now hyper-aware of little messes like crumbs in the kitchen. I have forgotten that I'm still actually thirsty.
But... with everything. Everything. Especially art things. My office is... a chronic mess. I HATE that my office is a mess. Hate it. I am buried. I clean almost daily, an hour a day. I often spend more time cleaning than creating. And yet.
This is why when people are warning me "Oh, you should get off your very low-dose meds because some people are *addicted*..." No, Debra. A normal-brained person gets addicted. I still can't even function on the ultra-low dose allowed by law because of people like you and non-ADD addicts who just want to pass a test at school. I miss doses because they can only be refilled on certain days by calendar and run out before refills are allowed by law, starting a terrible cycle of withdrawal and re-acclimation. Every few months. To achieve THAT level of not-messy. ::rolls eyes:: I totally, truly sympathize.
Interior designer speaking, a little suggestion for the next organization video. Painting the inside of the dark cupboard with white paint will make the items in the back more visible. Right now, with not much lighting, you basically look into a black hole with items in it. A light colored wallpaper would do the trick too. :)
i totally agree with you
I use stick on lights that come on when I open the door.
If you canât paint the inside of the cabinet, contact paper would work and u can peel it back off when you are done using it for art supplies.
Thank youuuu
I would like to be able to do that on my handbag :/ :D
Ahh I love how all those acrylic containers looked once they were full and labeled. Like a rainbow of artistic satisfaction!
IKR! BTW I love ur videos~

another tip for you Chloë: paint the tops of your paints so you can see the colours you have and just pick out the ones you need. (for the paints where you can't see the label but you can see the tops)
Changed my life when I started putting a dot of paint on all the bottle lids.
Like the appl barrel
YES I was thinking the same thing. I hope she sees this bcz it's literally a life saver
Thatâs what I do :)
I'm glad someone mentioned it, because I had the same idea. That's how I organize my nail polish
The art side of my room looks about like the before, but I call it my organized mess. It looks messy and unorderly to someone from the outside, but I know exactly where everything is. You need a blue Sharpie? It's in the right desk drawer in the back under the Blue's Clues towel. Sticky notes? In the Victoria's Secret bag behind the basket of canvases on the left underneath the box full of calculators. Lmfaooo
Same
That how every room in my house is, it not messy it my Nice mess
Organized mess: the definition of both my brain and room
@@yaralaterveer đđđ
This is so accurate. My room has a corner where I keep all my supplies and at one point they all started appearing in other places so I just figured I'd buy a taller shelf and I more or less followed what she did as far as classifying what to put in each area. I know where everything is which is great so long as no one else tries to dig through it. But honestly the only way to really keep this organized is... well there isn't a way to do it. Even having a room just for arts and crafts you'll get tired and messy and just not clean up right away. At least that's what I've seen in my experience lol
Nothing is more relaxing than staying in bed and watching Chloe's vid...
Lowkey
Like I'm unable to sleep and I was like well, time to watch this đ
I agree but sometimes its a bit crazy
True true đđ
that feels good
Same!!!
Whats your best organizing tip for your art supplies?!
My favorites that I learned for this video:
If you're limited in room, stack up if you have space vertically versus outwards IE use stackable containers
Have clear containers that match and butt up against eachother with no space in between
Pull everything to the front instead of pushing things to the back
Pull everything out at once, get messy before you get organized so you can lay everything out at once
Stack everything upright (my hack here for my paper and sketchbooks was to use a makeup palette holder)
Utilize "shelf organizers" if you have lots of different things. This way you can see what is behind the other things instead of having to dig through everything to get to the back.
I linked every product I used in this video in the description if you want to see what I used :) Thanks so much for watching!!
Nice tips đ
Ooo yesss
This is the video I didn't know I needed! I'm always amazed at how organised your space looks- I have a similar sized space I use for storage and online teaching but I can't paint in such a small space!
The one thing that helps me is forcing myself to put things away after I use them- but I'm like you and it lasts a few days before going to đ©
So I am wondering if this new system has helped when you are filming and grabbing things out? Do things still fall out?
I wonder if it would be more beneficial to put things you hardly ever use behind you in that black cabinet so that you donât end messing up all that wonderful storage? đ§
Love your stuff!
I just put everything in a box and put the box under my desk. I buy lots more supplies then use another box. My art room has a corner that looks like an Amazon depot least I know where everything is đđ
Chloe: im an organised person
Her room at the start: yes if you say so
I feel like this sounds like a rude thing to say but seeing that you dont have like a gigantic hoard completely full of art supplies left and right in a giant studio like some other art channels ive seen makes me feel like more, able to organize my own things?Relatable? Like seeing you be able to organize all your art supplies that isnt in a gigantic studio while holding a whole bunch of just a bajillion art supplies makes me feel more connected to you i guess. I don't have alot of room so i don't have the best organization (alot is on the floor) but seeing you able to roganize your stuff very well in a small area itself makes me feel like ill be able to organize my own! And i don't mean that people shouldn't have a huge amount of art supplies because they all work hard to earn everything they get and absolutely deserve it but i feel more...i guess connected to you in a way? Im not sure but love your art and videos and the patience you have to paint for literally hours
My problem was with holing on to old supplies. My rule is: Is it expensive? Is it hard to find? If I answer no to both questions, out it goes.
the start: FACTS đđ
đ
Can I just say how much this video has made me feel better about myself and my crafting space. Honestly it's so refreshing to know the truth behind the scenes and it has honestly made me feel better whilst going through a rough time at the moment â€
Chloe: I have my Cricut here that Iâve never used.
Also Chloe: I bought pretty labels for my acrylic boxes. đđ€Ł
I didn't even think about that đ€Ł
Hahahha OMG đđđ
Suggestion: those paints tubes with the flat top, use binder clips and put them on a cork board with pins or peg board. You can easily see the colour you want and access it without rummaging. I think I saw someone do that with watercolour tubes too, watercolour misfit maybe?
Yes, make use of the wall space.
IKEA peg board is good for this, it will take a good amount of weight.

Thank you for putting into words my affliction: "...physically unable to stay organized..." and it's such a relief to see another person with the same struggles!
I too love organizing and seeing organized stuff, but somehow I'm not able to keep it that way.
I have never felt so validated as when you showed your REAL studio and when you said you seem to be incapable of keeping it organised. I love you
Me here in a messy room with every art tool I have scattered around on the floor eating Doritos : ahhhh *nom nom* I need this
I actually laughed out loud! My art room is a mess and my living room table unusable for anything other than painting right now... I'm sitting on the sofa with stuff surrounding me too đ My family and friends donated a lot of art supplies over the past month and I do not know where to put any of it!
Chloe, Iâd take the doors off the cabinets in that small space so you donât have to struggle to open and reach in. It would also motivate you to keep it organized.
Me: cleans my craft room.....
(Two days later)
Me: uhhh I think I gotta clean it again
Same
đ€Ł I feel that on a spiritual level.
You need to clean it every time you use it đ
People get notifications and instantly run to see chloe
RELATABLE!đđ
I can relate đ
toatally relatable whenever she uploads. lol
Collecting art supplies and using them are two very different hobbies. Thank you for motivating me to get all my craft supplies organized.
Staying organized gets harder when you are a hoarder , why is it so hard for me to get rid of stuff, some time I don't even get rid of empty containers cuz I think I'll use them later while using water colours but when I need them I can't find them đ
Being an artist is honestly making a continuous mess and constantly organizing and reorganizing. The journey never ends.
Thank you for the links!!
Art supplies organizational videos are seriously my weakness. Love it!
Favorite tip: find and use clear acrylic containers that have drawers if you need to stack containers more than 2 high. That way, you can access everything directly without having to make a mess of pulling everything down and having to re-stack things :)
Another idea for your apple paint bottles is to take a dab of paint and place it on the white caps, that way you can see which color you're looking for, and they're standing right-side up :')
Me: comes back from a hard day :(
Chloe: Hello!
My spirits: đđđđđđ
I'm sorry you're having a hard day, I hope things get better!
Your spirits bounce like a *jellybean*
Wow, an artist organizing her art studio. This was so much more helpful than a professional organizer throwing everything out and organizing 10% of the supplies that you need.
I have an art space that looks like this but scattered in the garage, house and shed.
Have your viewers send in photos of their art spaces. We are a oddly creative bunch that think outside the box. It would be interesting to see.
I love the honesty and openness to show something thatâs really hard to open up about
I wonder when/if you have your own house it'll be easier for you to stay clean & organized because you'll have more room or if it'll be worse because you'll have so much more to clean & organize & spread out in? I think it's easy for either to happen.
My daughters call me a goldfish for just that reasonâŠ. More room? More stuff!
I also never considered her set-up but a walk-in closet is actually really smart: it is small, it can be well ventilated depending on if it on the edge of a building or if it is inside attached to a room, and sound will not bounce so there is little echo. Although yes: two lights, multiple cameras, microphones, and props for videos can become overwhelming real quick
I đ can đ not đ even đ begin to thank you ENOUGH for showing your filming space and setup!! My filming space looks just like this and I thought I was alone đ plus, I love seeing your equipment to get some inspiration!
I LOVE your tips and ideas and what you did with your space!! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing đâ€
I have a huge desk and six drawers; now dived, my school books, my computer, my colors and markers, my coloring book, my pens, pencil, glue,and scissors. Thanks you Cloe, for your professional advice. đ€Łđđ, I'll just rewatch this video and maybe some more I haven't seen, I can fix my desk later.
This is too good. The intro with all the tik toks killed me. I am so excited đ
Also thank you for posting it made my messy life better
The amount of anxiety I had seeing all those paints... on a carpet
I am getting the carpet replaced when I no longer use the space as I mentioned at the start. Unfortunately it already has paint on it so it's already getting replaced :)
@@ChloeRoseArt omgggg u replieddddd :)
I am so glad to see that I am not the only one with a messy art space!! Thank you for showing me some tips on organizing!
I'm just starting out and it's comforting that it's not just me whose surfaces are a disaster and a half lol. Especially when you're in that creative space nothing gets neatly and quickly returned to order! Things just flying around đ€Ł
Can we appreciate how amazing Chloe is!
I also thought it was pronounced "cry-cut" and honestly I'm so glad I'm not the only one haha
What word are you thinking of?
Me too đ I look at the word "cricut" and my brain reads "circuit" or "cry-cut"
thank you, not only are you an absolute joy to watch, but i am in the middle of a huge remodel/re-organize in my whole house, my shop, and my studio... thank ya lovely, much appriciated.... also, you truly are an absolute joy to watch
Heyy. I discovered a hack for my own studio. Pegboards! Honestly, pegboards on the wall saves SO MUCH SPACE! All those paint tubes can hang from pegs, containers of non-tube paints can be on top of pegs, cup holders for pens/brushes, shelves for cans and such on top of pegs. I can now throw away a table shelves!
looking at the comments, i guess i'm super lucky that being tidy comes easily to me. just seems like more work to have to hunt for my art supplies before i get creative than just being able to put my hand on it cos i know exactly where it is. life is much easier when everything is in it's own space.
I'm somewhat surprised that not many people use the, "Make more chaos to remove chaos", method. That's what I've always grown up learning, but many people around me thought I was insane. I always just say, "How do you know what you need to organize if you can't see it all?"
I can totally relate. While not an artist I am a teacher. This means I have heaps of art supplies, craft supplies, books, stationary and resources.
I love the fact a teachers youtube name is pineapple lump. It's precious
@@griefsheaf2306 thanks. It is a nod to my Kiwi roots plus my hubby says I am blonde on the inside. My students are young so would assume if I was on the internet my user name would be about books or cats.
Can hardly move around in both of my creative spaces, so no bad feelings needed! This helps to see how nice your supplies look and how they should be more available! Blessed and safe days!
I'm an art teacher and I have been using clear acrylic everything for a while now, because the kids will try to hide trash everywhere and I discovered that my very first year of teaching and I just said no clear everything. if it's on their desk at all it's clear and if it's not clear it's not on their desk it's by me. XD
I would highly suggest instead of chalk labels get a label maker. They don't peel off so easily, but they still can come off cleanly and it will always be legible.
i would just make the walk-in closet my bedroom and make my bedroom the studio.
LOVE IT! It will still get untidy often, but now you have allocated a place for everything, tidying up with go super fast.
I'm the same way! I love watching people organize and seeing my stuff organized but in reality I am a super disorganized and messy person! Hahah
I commented but I'm guessing it was removed because I added a link. It was just so I could show what I was talking about. I'll try to describe it.
I've seen people use those clear, hanging, shoe racks that they put on the back of their doors, to put their large acrylic paint tubes in. I mean the ones you showed that are in clear plastic tubes with the blue labels.
I hope that helps ^-^
Great idea!
That would be perfect if you could find an organizer made for children's sized shoes. That way the tubes can fit more snug against the door. Or at least it would work better for large tubes of oil paint. I don't buy acrylic in large amounts so those tubes could be too big maybe.
@@zebraloverbridget you can get an over the door makeup/beauty organizer... Fits art supplies much better đ
Life lesson " make more mess to get rid of the mess"đđ it's.not her exact words but....
It's not mess, it's the lived in look đ
You are such a joy to watch. Especially in these trying times. Thanks for the smile I always have on my face when I watch you .
I am struggling with being a multimedia artist in a small area, and felt the messiness before the calm in my soul! You did so well, Chole!! Great results, so satisfying.
YAY!! I wasnt having the best day but now I have an amazing video to watch tysm I love you sm chloeee
Cool vid
I canât wait for Chloe to get a art studio with some more space!! When you do can you do a video on it like organizing,tour,etc. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Yes, this sounds so familiar!
In my art room I have to get vertical. My horizontal surfaces are covered with STUFF, so there isn't any place left to work.
Nowhere to go but UP! I need a wall rack that holds transparent bins. Thanks for energizing me. đ
you should sell your canvases that you said you have so many of. I know for a fact a lot of people would love to own your original artwork. just an idea :)
I say this all the time ( because itâs who I am) but artist is just a fancy word for hoarderđđđ
Glad I'm not alone in needing to reorganize. I've been working on reorganizing my own space. I just have a small CZcams channel, but the need to stay organized is real. Thanks for sharing your tips. :)
Well Chloe you are fun to watch even when trying to organize! Please do not worry about being "professional" Most of us lumber along as best as we can I think you did a great job and it looks so much better and easier to use to I am willing to bet! Keep you head held high and we will see you next video!
i forgot she filmed in a walk-in closet lol
To be fair, in the U.K. that would be marketed as a double bedroom....
@@dees3179 absolutely, itâs bigger than my old art room!
I just watched Chloe organized for 30 minutes straight âšâ€ïž
Yess! I love organisation, I CAN be good at it.. but consistency is almost impossible especially when I get in the flow of creating. A few minutes in and I'm loving it! Thank you! X
I love organizing art supplies and itâs great to be watching you do so.

Wow, it looks so organized!!! I also enjoy clean looking spaces, but how you organized, so good!!! The labels defiantly made it look better! And the little pieces that you don't know what to do with, I can definitely relate.
I LOVE organizing. Cleaning is horrible, but every now and again I pull everything out of my cupboards and throw them on the floor, go over everything and put them back more neatly. It's the best. And apparently I also like watching someone else do it! Those raised platforms are a cool idea, might have to get some of those.

This was AWESOME! Love how everything looks but above all I really hope this will help be less frustrating. I know the feeling you mentioned in the beginning where things are organized and then suddenly it's not, so I'll be rooting for you for this setup to help you out with your work and enjoyment.

Hahah the start
Seeing other people in cramped messy spaces makes me feel better about my cramped and messy space. You are already more organized than me before you started organizing.
On my goodness you are fabulous! I also have a very small area for my desk and are supplies! Thank you so much for the tips! My favorite is the stackable containers!!
Omg Iâm early ly Chloe!
Omg I'm never so early!!, LOVE YOU CHLOE
So relatable, Ur literally me I love organized things and I'm not bad at organizing my stuff but I just can't get my brain to go clean my art room cuz it's too disorganized and I'm actually SCARED to clean it cuz I'm sure it will take forever an dit will be too tiring, when I eventually do so I cant keep it for a week straight lol. đ STRUGGLESđ
OMG! Literally me every time I'm organizing (which happened too much in the last year). you did great! It so satisfying to see it all clean at the end.
I'm so so happy you succeed in organising your studio... It's such a happy moment when everything is done
Notification from chloe: ooo yey art
Open the video: oooooo tRasHhhh iM tHe tRasH mAn
Chloe: throw them out because they use up valuable realestate
my mind: thats free real estate.
The organization containers are a big investment, but sooooo worth it! Having a craft space where everything has a place (and looks pretty and/or neat when in place) just makes things so much nicer, and you donât have the stress of the mess. đ
Awesome job! I am in fact totally jealous. You are so right about how a working studio looks. People who are able to keep their studio spotless make me ill. Itâs envy. My brain just doesnât work that way. Iâm working on it. Iâll check out your recommendation links. Thank you for sharing this process.
Omg I'm earlyyyyy
"wipes are so bad for the environment" - spends 150$ on plastic containers đ
Brilliant re-do. The bins worked great.
This makes me want to tackle my cupboard if doom. So satisfying!
Chloe, I love you but please be careful about just saying "that's bad for the environment (and is bad)". I understand that you meant that with the best intentions, but that kind of mindset, and promoting that kind of mindset, leads to judgment on people's individual circumstances.
I'm disabled and sometimes the only way I can get clean is to use a wet wipe. I know you would say that's fine, but I have heard plenty of people say that any usage at all is bad - and that kind of thinking is just a more black-and-white version of what you said. I've known people who are visibly disabled get evil eyed for using plastic straws, when many disabled people need them and alternatives won't work.
Targeting single use products is great, but it shouldn't be the main goal of any environmental activism to disallow them or demonise people who might use them (not saying you're doing this, it's just a problem I have with a lot of environmental activism). What we need to be doing is looking at ourselves and our lives holistically. You were upset about using wet wipes when you bought multiple acrylic plastic containers online and had them shipped to your house. In the span of time, the containers will be here long after the wet wipes have degraded. But even before that, you have the production of the chemicals for the plastic, the transporting of the plastic nurdles, the manufacturing of the containers, the energy usage of listing them online, the energy usage of you buying them, and the pollution from them being delivered to your house. And how are any of these workers being treated? We know Amazon workers are treated horribly, but what about in any of these factories? What about the company that produced them? What about the company that produced the plastic for them?
I'm not judging you for this at all, because it's just not something you think of. You are not to blame for the problems, the companies are. So we need to be targeting the companies above all else - including to make wet wipes more environmentally friendly - and look at the changes we can make in our own lives to better facilitate that. Practice what we preach, y'know? Find the points in our lives where we could be doing better (not perfect, just better) and working out how to do that.
No one person is ever going to produce no waste and no pollution/damage to the planet. It's impossible, especially right now at this point in time. Disabled people are often seen as a burden on other people, and on the environment due to the amount of things we are unable to give up or need to survive. I use wet wipes, fleeces, have multiple electronic devices. I ideally need to use cars. I pollute the water system with the amount of medication I'm on. I order almost everything I have online and have it delivered to me from the other side of the world. But I have looked and I can't give it up. I can't make my life uncomfortable for someone else to feel better about themselves for ~saving the planet~. However, I am a vegetarian/mostly vegan, because that is a major source of pollution and I don't want to be responsible for the slaughter of intelligent, sentient animals. I am working on a garden and hope to grow a lot of my own vegetables. And I actively avoid companies that treat their workers and the environment poorly, and I tell other people to, too.
These are the kind of mass changes we need to make, collectively, as individuals. We need to stop looking to ourselves and to others to stop this when we can do very, very little to change anything. The people in power in governments and in giant corporations (like Disney!) are the ones who are able to fix this. We need to stop telling other people to give up plastic straws or whatever because the main source of plastic pollution in the ocean are discarded fishing nets from mass commercial fishing. Stopping buying products that pollute is a good first step, but not everyone can or will. So we need to look to those companies and governments to make better products and deal with the harsh reality right now, however unpopular. Ultimately, we need to look past this system of capitalism and consumerism. Buying things and showing them off, rinse repeat.
I'm sorry this only partially related to what you said in the video, which I know you meant as a throwaway line out of good intentions, but I really have a lot of issues with how environmentalism is currently being handled and aimed at individuals, and I needed to explain that to explain why I think people should be more careful about this kind of thinking. Again, I really like you and your videos, and I personally also do art and crafting so I know that there are a lot of earth-unfriendly products that you kind of have to buy if you want to create high quality etc. pieces. I also love tidying so I loved this video! I got part way through redoing my bedroom when the pandemic struck and now it's partly done and moving slowly, but this has really gotten me in the mood to do some cleaning and organising around here! (pity it's 11:30pm lmao). Anyway sorry for the massive essay about environmentalism and disability on a gosh darn organising-art-supplies video. I literally have three essays I need to write for uni and none of them are about this or supposed to be submitted through youtube comments haha why have I done this to myself
While I agree with your overall points, I think there are some inconsistencies here. For example, how do you avoid companies that treat their workers poorly while simultaneously having everything shipped to you, when the shipping companies themselves treat workers poorly? How can it be problematic for someone to say that itâs bad to use single use plastic items and they donât want to because it harms wildlife but itâs not problematic for you to say youâre vegan because you donât want to harm sentient creatures?
Again, I think you have the right of it-and Iâm disabled, and affected by many similar things, from the sounds of it-but I think you fall into the same exact trap Chloeâs falling into, of offering subtle and likely unintentional judgment about things people do that you morally disagree with. Imploring folks to remember that frequently, âconvenience itemsâ for able-bodied folks are things that started out as accessibility items for disabled folks (like plastic straws!) is great and needed and wonderful, but I think we have to be careful when we talk about the steps we take individually to minimize our footprint, because we can so easily judge without realizing it.
(This is what happens when philosophy academics avoid their work, too. Procrastinating on CZcams is something we all do, regardless. đ)
@@khills I do, for the most part, avoid companies that treat their employees badly, although I acknowledge that shipping companies are hard to avoid, much like major conglomerates. I also aim to consume less overall, which is what I advocate for in my comment. That not only saves money, it also avoids buying into the system that enables the abuse of the planet and humans.
I don't think it's bad for someone to say to not use single-use items, but I don't think that should be the goal of environmental activism, nor something that should be seen in such black and white terms. I think it can lead to harmful ideas which inevitably affect disabled people when there is no allowance for necessity or acknowledgment that single-use items aren't the biggest pollutant. Nor is advocating for individual change like that really going to affect much. I know that my not eating meat isn't statistically changing anything. I know that my telling people that animal farming is the biggest force for climate change is going to not really do much. That's why I am trying to opt out of everything as much as I can: reusing, making things myself, stopping buying unnecessary products. That's also why I tell people in any discussion about environmentalism to target the company/government, not the individual. Individuals cannot stop climate change and the rising global temperature. It's simply not possible at this point. Instead of telling people to not buy wet wipes, look up to see how long it takes for a single wet wipe to biodegrade, tell people about that and tell them to contact the company and contact their governments. Instead of buying multiple acrylic containers because some people said that they're better for organising, buy wood or some kind of biodegradable container. If you're going to advocate for other people being eco-friendly, you have to start with yourself, and you have to be telling the truth/giving the right information. Wet wipes are bad for the environment, and so is the internet and electronic devices and a lot of food people eat. It's too difficult to change that on our own because these are necessities to us now, especially for poor and disabled people and especially now while we're struggling with lockdowns etc. So we need to look to the root of the problem, not the symptoms. Saying to not use wet wipes is like trying to put a plaster on a person's infected gaping wound. It's not even going to begin to cover it, let alone fix anything.
(glad I'm not the only one lmao)
While watching this video I decided to organize my little cart I got from IKEA that holds most of my art supplies I use on a daily basis. Itâs amazing how it has become a dumping place for things I havenât put away or needed to discard. Thanks for the motivation!
I have one of those too and I love it. Iâve discovered you can fit tin cans in it and they fit perfectly for storing pencils, paint brushes etc. I also bought a wooden topper for it (which you can get from Michaelâs, Hobby Lobby, or Hobbycraft in the UK) which can act as an extra surface while you are crafting at a desk. đ
@@rubybuttons668 I have been wanting to get one of the wood toppers. You can put so much stuff in the cart!
I got one of those for my birthday, the top shelf is so nice with my arteza markers, my little sketchbooks, some cute stickers and stuff, the bottom shelf is big sketchbooks and some other stuff and the middle shelf is just out of control for some reason there's like old receipts in there mixed in with recipes and random junk ahhhhhh I really need to sort it out
I love watching organization videos! I love organization in general! Itâs so relaxing and satisfying!
3 of my favorite things: Art Supplies, Organizing, and Chloe! đ Love these kinds of videos!!
This video makes me feel so much better about my own art space, I'm not alone in having to work with a tiny space and being terrible at staying organized lol
I can definitely relate. I have a small rolling shelf with an overflow of my art supplies and my paints are in three different rooms currently. lol. May need to take some pointers from you and organize my art supplies now
I love your channel! Youâre a hoot and very real! I also enjoy all the additional tips from your viewers!
This was such a satisfying video to watch. Thanks for taking us along!
