I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Brother P-touch. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item as a thank you for participating.
The holidays are upon us! And for me that means busy season. Not only are we crafting up a storm this time of the year but I’m also working a lot as well. So that means organization is key.
Since my craft room and office are the same workspace (shared with the kids playroom) I really need to stay on top of the organizing so that nothing goes missing. Because it has before.
My secret weapon for tackling my craft room organization is the Brother P-touch PT-H100 label maker. With it’s ease of use, multiple options, and quick printing, I can have everything I need to get my craft on right in front of me and easily identifiable.
Craft Room Organization Ideas
My craft room was a huge mess before I started cleaning and organizing. But now it looks pretty. And along the way I picked up a few great ideas for craft room organization. Here they are:
- Use various size jars and boxes to hold like-craft items in. Buttons can all go in a large vase, safety pins in an old q-tip holder. I’ve found that mason jars work really well for just about any craft supply!
- Group together craft items that will be used together. Put all of your sewing supplies in the same area and the glitter and glue in another area.
- Utilize shelves, peg boards, organizing units, etc to help store everything. I’ve had great luck with finding Ikea shelves in the As-Is section and using them in my office/craft room for storage.
- Clearly label each jar using a Brother P-touch PT-H100 label maker so you know exactly what each container has inside.
- Only keep what you know you’ll use in the next year. If you REALLY want/need it but won’t be using it, pack it away and store it somewhere else. Craft room space is precious.
Once I got everything organized, sorted, and in the right spot I was able to easily label everything so that I could clearly see what supplies I had on hand. The photo below definitely shows how much cleaner my craft shelves look now that they’ve been made over.
And I was SO tempted to label my sticker maker even though I know what it is. What if a stranger didn’t know? Yes… I might go back and label it.
Now I’m ready to continue my holiday gift making and crafting so that I can do what I love and give some homemade gifts this year. Next spot to tackle? The holiday decorations! Now that’s going to be a large job.

Reading this post makes my heart beat a little fast. I LOVE anything to do with organization and the P-Touch label machines are high on my list of tools to use to do so. We had them at the company I worked for right after high school and I wanted to take them home with me!
Okay, I def need one of these!!1 If not for winter organization… especially by spring cleaning. What a useful tool
I love the before and after photos! I NEED one of these and to spend the afternoon organizing so many things – our vitamins, our office and the girls’ craft stuff! Thank you so much for sharing about this awesome label maker. Enjoy your organized crafts room!!
Great ideas! I have been saying for about a year that my husband and I need a label maker. It would be great for organizing our spice cabinet, pantry and even the fridge for labeling leftovers.
Someone please tell santa to send me this for Christmas. My craft room could use it along with everything else in my house.
I love labeling things! So much easier to find them later.
what a great way to organize! I would love to get a Brother for myself.
Organization is tough for me too. I love my label maker and don’t know what I would do without it. My girls like to sneak into the office to make their own little labels every once in awhile. Their’s aren’t for labeling but are funny phrases, but I love it! My biggest way to stay organized during the holidays is to put things away immediately after using them. Well, I try to do that at least!
I wish I had a whole room for crafts. I have a closest which needs some serious amounts of organizing help! This would definitely come in handy!
I desperately needs to be organized and for this label marker is perfect tool to keep track on my craft items .You can see lot of things scattered all around in my craft room and because of this reason I got hyper and also waste lot of time in tracing out the things .This would definitely help me in organizing and reduce the clutter considerably.
