Organize Your Crafty Space: Ribbon & Floss

There is something so satisfying about finding the perfect place to put something. I think  life likes to throw all these messy things at us and we scramble to make sense of it all and organize it in a way that we can live with. Organizing my crafty stuff is like therapy; it’s like a small part of my life that I have complete control over and I can make it tidy and beautiful. We all have our stress relief. Some people do crossword puzzles, others meditate or exercise… I even knew someone that ironed pillowcases. I organize. In reality, I think I get as much joy out of organizing my crafty space as I do creating in it so when I found these fun wood boxes at Home Goods, I was thrilled. I loved their rustic look, their fun labels and all their wonderful little compartments. I knew they would make a perfect home for my embroidery flosses and ribbons.

 

THE BEFORE

Once upon an organized time, I had a system to my ribbon organization but remember that creative chaos I talked about? Well, it took over and this mess is the aftermath. The bonus to my previous organization attempt; however, was that most of my ribbons and floss were organized on pieces of cardboard, by color. This made this crafty organization all the more zen-ful as all the tedious work was done.

 

All I had to do was put on some good music, grab a cool glass of iced tea and put pretty things in perfect places. Ahhhhhhh. Happy. Happy. Happy. Joy. Joy. Joy.

 

 

 

 

And now I’ve got the itch to do a little embroidery work. I’m off to the land of Pinterest for some inspiration. Ohhh Ahh…
