Welcome to my Craft Room

As makers, we all need a space that inspires us to dream up our next big idea. Over the years, I have updated and reorganized my craft room dozens of times. Anytime I take on a new craft (most recently sublimation), I have to rearrange to fit new equipment and find storage for all the accessories. 

Not only is this space used for my crafting, it's also my office space.  I have developed products and launched some exciting projects from this room in our home. 

It doesn’t matter if your crafting is a business like mine, a side hustle, or just a hobby, having an organized, efficient space helps get the creative juices flowing.

Sublimation and Heat Presses

I recently added sublimation to my craft room with a Sawgrass 1000.  Blank coffee mugs and tumblers take up more room than t-shirts so I found a cart with lots of storage. 

Heat Presses:  Cricut AutoPress / ProWorld 15×15 Press / Cabinets both from IKEA

Sublimation: Rolling Cart with drawers and cabinets / Sublimation Printer / More about Sublimation Supplies and Blanks

Blank T-Shirt Storage

I have accumulated a ton of blank t-shirts over the years. When I need to make a last minute shirt, I love having them organized by size. I can see all of the colors and brands easily with them hanging – just like a closet.  Here are my favorite t-shirt blank brands and styles

Hide-Away Organization with DreamBox

Right below my craft room is another space I use for craft storage.  My DreamBox stores all of my smaller supplies – everything from glitter to scrapbook paper to vinyl. I also keep my Maker 3 in my DreamBox.  My daughters can pull up a chair and work on school projects with easy access to everything they need including the hot glue gun, styrofoam balls, construction paper, and more.

I hope seeing how I organize my space gives you some ideas for your own craft room.  If you have any craft organization hacks or ideas, share them in the comments!
