Crafting is one of my very favorite things to do. Call me crazy, but, to me, it’s incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. You know what’s not relaxing about it, though? Trying to keep all the crafts organized and easy to use. There certainly are some frustrating things about crafting that even I hate about it. Much to my surprise there are actually some crafting hacks out there. I should have known since there are hacks for literally everything. After looking through these 10 genius crafting hacks you won’t believe you’ve never thought of doing these yourself before and you won’t be able to wait to try them out for yourself. I know I can’t wait to use all of them.

1. Comfortable Crochet/Knitting Hook
Do your fingers ever cramp and hurt while crocheting or knitting? Next time you pull out your yarn and hook, slip on a finger grip that’s meant for use on pens. They fit perfectly on the hooks and will make holding the hook so much more comfortable and easy to use.

2. No Tangle Yarn
One of the worst things about working with yarn (or any kind of string, really) while crafting is that it always seems to get in a big old tangle. Having to detangle the string all the time takes up a lot of precious crafting time and is really frustrating. A very clever and easy way to no longer let your string get tangled is to use a bag clip. Put the yarn in a bowl, then clip the bag clip on the side of the bowl and feed the yarn through the loops on the clip. This will ensure that the yarn stays put in the bowl while you’re using it and since it’s feeding through the bag clip it won’t get tangled everywhere! So genius.

3. Organize Ribbon On Paper Towel Holder
I’ll admit I kind of have an obsession with ribbon, especially Christmas ribbon. It’s hard to keep all my ribbons organized, but now I’ll no longer have this problem. You can simply slip your ribbon on a paper towel holder. This will not only keep it neat and organized, but it will make it easy to use, as well. You can easily pull the ribbon you want and cut it without having to hold it in your other hand.
