I’ve been asked a lot these past few days about how I organize my craft room in a small space. So I decided to reshoot my craft room video and put links of some of the items I have purchased on this post! I use one half of an extra bedroom. So I basically have one wall and part of the closet to work with. I hope this information is helpful to you and I would LOVE to see pics/videos of your craft space! I love seeing how everyone organizes themselves…
You can watch the video here or over on my youtube channel in HD!

/ February 29, 2012Great video and organization ideas! Thank you for all of the links! I think that I will use part of our master bedroom. I also plan to purchase items from Ikea and Target.
This is my temporary storage and I use our dining table for now.

I had a giant desk when we lived in Texas and just got it set up to my liking before my husband got a new job… The desk was too large to move, so I am rethinking my space and organization.

/ February 29, 2012Thanks for sharing your home and storage ideas. Where did you get the lamps for the photo box? I need a way to take better pics esp when it is raining or snowing outside. I guess any clip-on light would do and I have seen white plastic “boxes” at Target. I may try that…

/ February 29, 2012Great video! I love seeing how people store their supplies. This makes me want to clean up my room and take some pictures…but, first, I’ll have to clean, lol.

/ March 1, 2012Thanks for sharing your crafty space. I love to watch how others store their craft supplies. Your craft room is so tidy and organized. Question: Could you perhaps post how your husband made your light box and filming stand? Sorta new to taking pictures and when I do, they come out darker than my liking. And I would like to eventually try making videos when I get a blog set up. I’d appreciate it so much. TFS.
Laurel
/ March 1, 2012Carol, I sent you an email! I don’t have instruction on how my husband made the filming stand. He is an Engineer. I just showed him a picture and he headed off to the garage… I think all he used was wood, a saw, a drill and nails.
As far as the light box, I used this tutorial on this blog: http://www.studiolighting.net/homemade-light-box-for-product-photography/

/ March 2, 2012Help with storing wood stamp!!
I also have limited space (garage) as a craft room so I was wondering what would you or anybody else recommend as a way to store wooden stamps.
Thanks
Laurel Beard
/ March 3, 2012Hmm. Wooden stamps are tough. I only have a few so they are stored in one of my drawers. I have seen people put them on shelves. Perhaps you can put a small shelf up in the garage and store them on there? Or just get a small plastic storage bin and put them in there??? Sorry, I don’t have many ideas when it comes to wooden blocks obviously… Good luck.
