So my home is decorated by my craft.
For example, I have a craft room where I store my craft supplies and have space to do my craft and then I have in my lounge room showing my craft creations (pictured above) and also storing craft supplies like yarn, where I love to look at and think about the possibilities of what I can do with my craft supplies.
It makes me feel good to come home and be surrounded by my craft.
And it’s ok to never have your craft room finished. For me it’s a work in progress. I am always changing it and my supplies and where to showcase my supplies. This is because my interests change. One month I may be heavily into crocheting so I don’t need a table for that, I can just sit on the couch.
I really just need storage for my yarn and crochet needles and my half completed crochet projects such as draws to cater for these.
Another month, I may be into scrapbooking so I do need a table for this, my set of draws for the stickers and tapes and then my huge tub with all of my scrapbooking paper supplies. Plus my general supplies such as glue and scissors.
And again, another month I may want to spend more time on making miniatures, so I need two tables for that one. Which includes one table making and cutting everything and the other table the drying station. So I can glue it together once it’s done. Plus, open storage to showcase the completed miniature homes.
And don’t forget diamond painting, I need a table for that and a tub for the excess drills. Plus a storage space filled with all the diamond paintings I have bought but not completed and a tub for the finished ones.
However I do have a rule, when I finish crafting I put it all away. I need to walk past clear tables because that gets me excited about what craft I could make next. Whereas if I have craft out, I just feel disorganised and definitely not creative to work on anything creative.
Especially because my craft room is in an open space, next to the kitchen. You can’t hide a mess there. Any of my crafts can be messy if I leave everything out. So yes, I have learnt to put it away immediately after use and if I want to do more craft later that is fine, at least I have cleared tables ready to begin.
So my craft room layout has three white tables and one chair, which I can move to whichever table I am working on. One set of draws. An open cupboard for storage. And some tubs under the table. It’s simple and easy to get to everything because I don’t want to walk midway while scrapbooking to get stickers when I can just pull the draw over (it has wheels) to get them. Everything is very handy.
My lounge room has three sets of open storage with one space showcasing my yarn, another a stash of my diamond paintings yet to be completed and crocheting kits, plus one showcasing my miniature houses that have been built and one section showing my miniature DIY kits ready to be built.
So having a craft room in a completed sense doesn’t have to be your end game. Just have a craft room ready for the current hobbies you are working on and if you fall in love with a new hobby change up your craft room to cater for it.
I hope this helps you in setting up your craft space and just being in love with it, how it currently is.
