Craft Room Closet Makeover Organizing!

Craft Room Closet Makeover Organizing 

We have lived in our home for a year and there were still bloxes stacked up in my craft room closet. I finally decided to tackle my craft room and I am SO glad I did!! It’s so nice to be able to find things. I don’t know why I waited so long!!

I used my new favorite gadget to get this room organized. DYMO has the most amazing labeler – the DYMO Mobilelabeler. I have bought labelers in the past and although I love the idea of a labeler, I was always disappointed because they seemed to jam up and break within a short amount of time. This labeler is just about the coolest thing ever!!

First of all, DYMO MobileLabeler is a wireless, Bluetooth compatible labeler that lets you create labels from your smartphone!! How cool is that?? When I tried it out I thought it would be pretty fabulous if it had three or four fonts, but NO this labeler has dozens of pretty fonts. And you can go in and change the size of the fonts, the colors, even insert images!! You can make labels from 1/4″ up to 1″ wide in all kinds of COLORS. I used the insert image feature and added a heart onto the label for my calendar in my closet. It’s so cool!!

It has a voice to text feature! And it is wireless so you could be up on a ladder labeling boxes and you can tell the labeler what you want printed out and it will! That’s amazing. Also, two people can also be hooked up to the labeler at once so that would be great if you are organizing something as a family project, or it’s perfect for small businesses to use. It has a rechargeable battery so you don’t have to have it plugged in while you are up on your ladder. And it has spell check too – It caught a spelling error I had made and I was able to change it before I printed the label out and wasted that material.

Also, the labels themselves are great. They are made out of industrial-strength adhesive that resists fading, peeling and abrasion, as well as light, heat and moisture. They are perfect to use in kitchens, garages, outdoor storage sheds and more!

So I tackled my VERY messy craft room closet. I had a cubby cabinet left over from Ella’s room that she didn’t want anymore. I thought it might be perfect to organizing items in my craft closet. Once I cleaned all of the boxes out, I put the cubby cabinet in one side of the closet and it was a perfect fit! Yay – I love repurposing things. On the other side I had a file cabinet on wheels. I found a wicker container and put all of my wrapping paper in it. It is so nice to have all of the paper in one place.

I had a wire hanging shelf in my storage room that was leftover from my last house; I spray painted it white and hung it inside one door of the closet. On the other door I hung a calendar and a bin storage unit and a hook for my computer bags.

Now to the fun part — labeling everything!

I paired my phone up with the DYMO MobileLabeler. To create the labels, you download the free DYMO app. Once my phone was paired with the DYMO labeler, I went in to pick out the labels I wanted to make. I decided to use a label with a white background and blue letters since my craft closet colors are mainly navy and white. I inserted the battery and cartridge into the labeler, shut the lid and started printing the labels out. I used three different sizes of fonts and a few different font styles to see what the labeler could do.

Since my wire organizer didn’t have a flat surface to put labels on, I cut some cardstock into 1 inch wide by 4 inch long tags and put the labels on those. Then I used clips to attach the labels onto the wire container.

The rest of the surfaces in my craft closet were flat so I stuck the labels I made directly onto those surfaces. It was so fast AND easy!!

I bought some navy and white bins and I was a little concerned because the material is a little bit like twill and not completely flat. I stuck the labels on those bins and smoothed them flat with my fingers and they are really stuck on there. I am really impressed with the quality of the labels. I have had labels in the past that peel up and fall off right away. I feel like these labels are much better quality and stickier so they stay adhered to surfaces. Plus, like I said, they are made to withstand moisture and heat.

I wanted to make the closet pretty and I love the look of wallpaper. In the past I have used wrapping paper to look like wallpaper, so I thought that would be fun to do in the closet too. I also hung shelves on the wall on top of the wrapping paper. I put my little glass containers with small craft supplies on one of the shelves. I put my HAPPY marquee sign I made with my line of paper on the top shelf.

I put all of my wrapping paper in a bin at the side of the closet and labeled that too!

My craft closet is so pretty and organized – I don’t want to shut the doors. I just want to stare at it all day long LOL!!
