A week or so ago I decided that my crafting corner (one end of our dining room) needed tidying and about 4 days later I re-emerged!!
I found so many embellishments still in packets and odds and ends I've collected over the years and forgotten about that I decided to take them all out of their packaging and sort them mainly by colour in the hope that I may use them more if they were easier to find.
I used a box each for green, blue, pink and purple and then another box for red, orange and yellow.
All metal things/ black and white/ naturals etc were put in more boxes (another 3 of them so far)!
I'm finding that I'm using more of my stuff now I've organized like this and would recommend it to anyone.
How about you? Do you organize by colour?

Now that's what I call a great idea! Where did you get the coloured boxes from?

Those coloured boxes are fab :) I colourize all my buttons :) but i chuck all my flowers in one pot, ribbons in one pot etc etc, cause i like emptying it all over the table lol x

Haven't got round to organising by colour yet - looks like a great idea.... if I could stand the interim mess!

The colored boxes are so wonderful and the crafting things are arranged and organized properly in different boxes and is looking just fantastic.

What a fab idea! I've been looking for new ideas to rearrange all my stuff and I think this will definitely find its way into my craft storage.
Thanks for sharing.
