Brilliant Craft Storage Ideas from the Thrift Store

These spice racks can be seen at practically every thrift store. I’ve personally given one a makeover for my k-cups, but I never thought to use it as a craft paint organizer!

Here’s another use for a thrifted spice rack. This one came with the jars, which makes the project super easy. It’s perfect for organizing all those little bits and bobbles like buttons.

I pretty much always keep my eye out for old shutters at the thrift store. I have not yet come across any, I’m pretty sure everyone else is in search of them, too 😉 Using one as a paper holder is such a perfect way to keep everything you have visible. Paper is one of those things that can easily get out of hand when you’re a crafter.

This is such an impressive makeover, I would never have imagined that an old hutch could turn into such a beautiful yarn storage unit! I don’t have NEARLY this much yarn to organize, but if your main craft is knitting or crochet this project could be right up your alley.

If there’s one thing that thrift stores always have plenty of, it’s frames. This tutorial for a thread organizer made from a thrifted picture frame looks pretty easy, and cute!

Picnic baskets are another commonly found thrift store item. At least they have been for me in the past. Of course now that I say that, I’ll probably never see one again 😉 Anyways, this picnic basket turned into mobile craft supply organizer is incredibly adorable AND useful!

Here’s another “why didn’t I think of that?” idea. Hooks and hangers usually abound at the thrift store, give one a coat of paint and you’ve got a nifty craft scissors organizer.

This next one is something I really need for myself! I’m constantly losing my sewing pins. This teacup turned pincushion tutorial is not only easy, it makes for some pretty cute storage!

Seeing this clever use for a crib mattress spring support makes me wish I had kept my daughter’s! This gives you a lot of hanging options for craft storage. The possibilities are practically endless!
