Dawn's craft space

Dawn of JadeMingmei Designs, there have been a few crafty Dawn's recently ;O) has recently tidied up her craft space, it involved a trip to everybodys favourite Ikea. It took her 4 days but it was well worth the effort.


I love this simple COPIC and ribbon storage, in Dawn's words "the COPIC marker boxes are new. Each box has 2 compartments and I found these in the kitchen untensil area of IKEA. Directly below the COPIC makers is my ribbon storage box. The box is full of ribbon that comes on the smaller spools and they are wrapped around 4x6 cardboard pieces and stored by color families".

Dawn's Creation Station

This one has got to be the most creative studio from the outside although the inside is not too shabby either!

And I could not resist posting this one photo bellow.

I mean, isn't this amazing?

Ink pad storage

I don't know about you, but I've always struggled with Ink pad storage, and I've always wanted something specific, but couldn't obtain one from the UK that would fit my Stampin Up ink pads. Santa (disguised as my husband, or is that the other way around) left one he'd made himself hung on one of the walls of my craft room on Christmas eve.




What do you think?



One day, I will have my craft room finished and I will show you pictures of the whole room ...

BTW If you'd like something similar I know that Craftracks in the UK sell storage racks but sorry the SU pads are too big for the multiracks.

Edited to say that after many requests I've updated my original post on my blog with design details :O) Merry Christmas

A great studio

Sometimes the greatest ideas come in the smallest packages. And this is one of them. We often forget that having a great space to create is not about size it is about creativity and what inspires us to create. Some are lucky and have amazing rooms, others have just amazing spaces in their cupboard.


Check more photos including the before and after here.

Bear with us

This is just a quick message to explain why there hasn't been many posts lately. Well, as you can imagine the road to Christmas is as busy time for us at the Crafty Storage team as is for anyone, so we have all been busy with work, family and other commitments.  
Hopefully, once we pass Christmas we can resume the posting more often as before.


Thanks!

Rose's Metal Die Storage

Metal dies are all the rage (as you can tell by all the ideas lately to store them!)

Here's another idea from Rose, over at Something You Occasions. She uses stamp binders and magnetic sheets to securely hold all her dies!

What I love about this solution is that when the binder is closed, all the dies are contained within it - no worries about one slipping out! Hop over to Rose's blog to find out more.

Die Storage

Chris Simon has taken Dawn McVey's Metal die storage idea and altered it slightly.


Each uses just a quarter sheet of cardstock and the pouches are made from plain clear envelopes (no sewing!)


In Chris' words ....... Quick, easy, and cheap!

Alissa's Craft Room

Alissa of 33 Shades of Green is not only an Interior designer, but also a crafter, she has sewing projects decorating projects and a fabulous space to do it all in.

I love the old table that beam on the bottom with the sewing machine on it seems so practical.

She uses lots of nice jars to store her supplies, always visible and neat.

Lots of inspirational touches sprinkled around.
