Craft Room Tour

By Tanya Cloete

 

“Hello, dear G45ers! I am super excited to share a tour of my craft room with you this month. My space is not very big but it is more than enough for me and I love it, it is my little piece of crafty heaven. Hope you will enjoy this tour as much as I enjoy creating in this space.

 

 

I have to give thanks to my amazing husband for renovating my room. I chose a soft colour pink for the walls, so pretty and feminine and then of course white furniture because I love the pristine look and these two colours are so beautiful together.

 

 

I have most of my canvases up on the wall and some other projects displayed on the desk below.

Some projects are stored away in a cupboard.

 

Tip: You can always rotate your canvasses or projects I have limited space and this is a fun way to see your work, a different view occasionally.

 

 

I also have some more projects displayed on top of my cupboard as well as some items I use now and again to stage my project photos.

 

 

These drawers have a lot of supplies, such as my Graphic 45 stash, extra products, embossing powders, embellishments, flowers and some stamps etc.

 

On top of this cupboard with drawers, I have mixed media supplies displayed in glass jars.

 

Tip: I love using glass jars because not only do they look pretty but I can also see what is inside.

 

I generally like using household/decor items to store my supplies in like this lovely steel cupcake stand.

 

 

Initially, I planned to alter this birdcage but then I decided to use it as storage for my little crochet

flowers instead and I love the shabby chic look. I don’t actually use them haha they are just for show.

 

Another decor item for storing more supplies.

 

I have most of my Graphic 45 Staples stored all in one drawer.

 

Embossing powders, glitter glue, ink dauber storage, and any extra products in another drawer.

 

These are items I use most of the time and are stored together. Chipboard, adhesives, decorative tape, flat back pearls/rhinestones, and some embellishments.

 

I have two drawers for all my flowers. They get stored by collection.

 

In this cupboard I keep some of my paper pads, my cutting dies including Graphic 45 dies, stencils, stamps, punches, moulds,

embellishments, scoring board, paper trimmer, and some tools.

 

I use these pink baskets for storage. Some hold my stamps and punches as can be seen in pictures below.

 

 

 

 

 Some wooden containers for storing my cutting dies and moulds.

 

I love these storage containers. Easy accessible and perfect for all those small embellishments.  

 

My desk view, I guess you can say this is where all the magic happens.

 

Here I have all the supplies I use on a regular basis at hand.

 

I store my pens, scissors, paint brushes, glue, adhesive tapes, etc in fun coffee mugs and trinket holders.

 

I also have some more projects displayed on the shelves and the wall.

 

 

My little ink pad tower. Square boxes perfect for storing all your ink pads.

 

I have labeled all my Graphic 45 decades ink pads with the colour and the name.
 

Tip: Easy to see the colours because they are stacked on top of one another.

 

This paper rack is quite handy and this is where I store most of my Graphic 45 paper pads. I also use it to

display some finished layouts.

 

 

Some of my Graphic 45 collections I store in 12×12 plastic sleeves on the racks and others in these drawers.

 

Tip: I store all items from a collection (such as paper pads, chipboard, stickers, ephemera, tags & pockets, stamps) together.
