Oh-ho ho Pretty Beads… Craft Room Organization
What movie is the first part of that title from? Anyone?
Cinderella, can’t you just see Gus-Gus getting all excited about the beads for Cinderelly and the big fat Lucifer running over to sit on the necklace?….
Anyway, I have been trying to organize my craft rooms for months. A while back, I decided that all interior items(meaning not tools in the garage) that have anything to do with creativity needed to be in one space. So, I started collecting from around my house. It is amazing how far the paintbrushes and watercolor paper have been from each other for so long.
Well, it is not like I work on the space everyday, or even every other day but I have been working on my craft room for MONTHS now. It has been whipping me good! I go in there to clean it and end up making a bigger mess than I started with, get discouraged, shut the door and leave it for another week or two. (obviously, I haven’t been using it for crafting, let alone using any of the junk I am storing…)
I am all over the place with this post, and I am about to go even further. A few weeks ago, I went to a thrift store and found this great 3 leveled spice rack with the cutest little glass bottles, with glass stoppers. (I already have two similar spice racks unused at my house- I may have a problem!, no I don’t have time to see a counselor!) And I thought I could use it for my craft room. Here is what I did.
What do you think?
P.S. Sorry that I have been sorta absent from my blog lately. I had an emergency family trip come up about 2 weeks ago and have been out of town for those 2 weeks, I just barely got back. It was unplanned and I was unprepared, so my blog has suffered a little, and honestly it may take me a few weeks to catch up with projects to show you. But I will have a ton of great guests so please keep coming by.
If any of you have any tutorials you would like to share with everyone, send me a link! I would love to show off your work, and I could really use some help. Also, I will be featuring more of your party projects with the help of the Mr. R.

>Brilliant….just love that idea…
>what a fantastic idea! love it!
>Great Idea! I have a the coolest spinning spice rack I got for my wedding, but I never have used them and I think most are bad. I haven't wanted to throw it out, but haven't known what to do. You've solved my problem! I'll send you the link when I get it done!
Thanks
>very nice! i like it much better as a bead organizer. I'll have to search goodwill for a spice rack to transform.
>hi cassity,
would you mind if i just copied and pasted your blog post on mine cuz you were writing this about me, right?? …oh you weren't? …oh wow…you sure could have!! (hehe)
as i was reading about how you've been working on your craft room, i was amazed since i could have penned those exact words! my craft studio has whooped me good and i do get discouraged and close the door but i am determined to win the battle, no matter what.
i have whittled away a bit at a time just like you and have made some great improvements on organization-love the re-purposed spice rack idea, the color, & how you hung it on your pegboard.
keep the ideas coming cuz i'm listening!

>Love it! Such a creative solution and it does look beautiful. 🙂
>The words are from cinderella. spoken by gus the mouse. my daughter has made me watch that a million times.
>What a wonderful organizing trick! Those beads look so pretty out in the open.
>This is fantastic! What's crazy is I have a spice rack/bottles that look almost exactly like this. I got them from a garage sale for about $3. So I might give this a try.
>You know what would be awesome? If you were to put chalk board paint labels on the little jars. 🙂
>I knew the words sounded familiar! I love how you put the beads in the spice jars on the rack. They look great! Love it. I used to have one like that but am not sure I still have it, better check my attic.
