- A few weeks ago, I did a trip to Michaels and noticed that there were a TON of craft cart accessories that I had never seen before. Several of my amazing subscribers requested that I film a video about how to set up a craft cart. Challenge accepted! I bought EVERY SINGLE cart accessory I could find and went to work putting together the ultimate craft cart. Everything is linked below!

I found a mesh cart with four baskets or shelves for five dollars. I got two cooling racks for cakes at dollar tree and used zip ties to attach one to each side to hang stuff with S hooks. I might put another one on the back. I have some bins in there that I already had. It's hard to believe how much it hold. I haven't decided exactly what to put in it and how to arrange it all. I think the whole thing might end up being about 15$. I'm so happy to have a cart!!
I think I would use those racks to hold my sticky tape rolls, ribbons, and strings/twine. I don't use washi tape much. Thank you for showing the cart and accessories, I've never thought of them before, but will look at purchasing one now.
I think this would be a good for my Mom…. She is a card maker, and can no longer use the stairs to get to the area she and my sister crafted in together. This cart could just be rolled to kitchen table where she works now, and then pushed aside when table was needed for meals…
I am in love with your channel which I only discovered a week or two ago. Why do you only have 50K subscribers?? I can't believe more people haven't found your channel 'cuz they would love it!! You are amazing. I learn so much! Keep up the good work!!
I have been on the fence about a cart. I keep talking myself out of it...I think you just convinced me. So cool to have you show us each accessory. Thank you so much!
A "washi organizer living its best life!" - Too brilliant!!! Thank you so much for this video. This is exactly what I had been needing. I had been visiting that section at Michaels so often and getting overwhelmed, confused, and not able to make any decision because nothing was out of their boxes. Seeing everything being set up and used was absolutely priceless. Thank you thank you thank you. So awesome!!!!
I have a cart from Amazon that includes many of those features…peg board, bins, and hanger. I have washi on the hanger, but I hardly ever use that washi because inevitably I need the roll of washi that is in the middle, which means I have to take off all the ones in the way. I need the whole roll or else I end up with a tangled mess of tape. Probably not a big deal for most people, but it’s one more step that my ADHD brain hates. 😂
Dollar Tree pegboard hooks and shelves (the mini one) work well on this pegboard. They are super secure and eliminate the rattling sound.
My cart is needing some of these. I looked at them and passed. However, after watching your video I’m going to get back to the store and pick up several items. Lol my cart definitely is overloaded! I need the bigger one! 😂
I use the tall rolling shelf unit from Michael's filled with 12x12 project cases for my Cricut supply storage. The vinyl and iron on gets cut into 12x12 sheets. They're easier to store and sort that way. I keep all of my scraps and use transfer tape to piece together the scraps as needed, and I have very little waste.
Really impressed....😃
I have had three of the Lexington Carts for a couple of years. I suggest putting one pegboard on each side, one at top and the other at bottom. Otherwise, you can't access the lower trays from the pegboard side. Also, the solid pegboards block the light and it can be hard to see clearly. I have never purchased the top as i store many tall items in the top. You probably couldn't see it, but with the add-ons the top was not level and would not make a good working surface. I find the carts very useful, but you need to be careful or you could end up with a troop of them!
I think a cart like this would be best for organizing the supplies you need for a current project. I don't think I would put a bunch of items on/in it just for storage, unless that is the extent of your crafting area available. Thanks for sharing.
I do not have a cart but now seeing what you did; I believe I need one. Thank you Dee
OMG, I never thought about a cart for the things I touch the most... As always you challenge me to do better things in my studio... You are roclking it girl... super proud of all the things you got on this cart...
So many similar items can be found at Dollar Tree...
This is so fun...basically "Pimp my cart"!😄
I use two of these carts for bead storage. I found that several of the storage boxes that have the stackable containers inside fit perfectly on each shelf. I love my carts.
Great suggestions & a very thorough look at cart supply options. Also love how you decorated your cart!
My daughter used the topper in her dorm room when she was in college. The cart held her food it was handy
