7. Use An Ice Cube Tray To Organize Small Items

Another easy and inexpensive way to organize your small crafting items is to put them in an ice cube tray. Putting them in the tray will make it easy to look at all your little items at once and see what you want and need to use.

8. Paint Staples For Pretty Crafts

You know what solves everything? Gold paint. I love painting things gold, and I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this before. Next time you need to use a stapler on one of your crafts (like invitations or cards) paint the staples gold before you use them. You can easily use a paint pen to paint them without making a mess. It’ll make your staples look so much nicer if they have to show.

9. DIY Glue Gun Holder

Don’t you hate having to lay your hot glue gun on its side? It always drips all over everything and makes it kind of awkward to pick up and put down. Well, why not make this DIY glue gun holder? You can make it as fancy or as simple as you’d like, as long as it serves it’s purpose.

10. Store Glue And Paint Upside Down

Don’t you hate how frustrating it is using glue, puffy paint, or other products like that when you have to turn the bottle upside down for a few minutes before you use it to get it to settle at the tip so it’ll come out easily? Sometimes you even have to hit the bottle a few times to get the product to move down faster. From now on, store all those types of bottles upside down. Glue some magnets to the bottom of the bottles, then secure them to a cookie tray and secure it underneath a shelf. This will also make it easier to see all your items as well.
