My Craft Room Tour 2021

My craft room tour 2021

From long time I was thinking of taking you all , to my craft room tour. I don’t have a very big place as my craft room. But this is better, because I didn’t have any craft room earlier. Recently when we shifted to this house, I converted the store room as my craft room. This is 100 sq ft room, has small window. I have got loads of craft materials. It is really tricky and needs lot of craft room storage ideas to organize all my craft materials in this small room. But I am really enjoying organizing my craft room. Sharing the same with you.

Before starting I practise many arts and crafts, which includes traditional Kerala Mural painting, folk art like tholu bommalata, stitching sewing, embroidery , tatting, crochet , decoupage, sospesso , jewelry making and many more. So you can understand how much space I need to keep all the craft materials.

Once we enter the craft room, on the left side you can see craft materials arrangements, in different boxes , drawers and organizers. Here I have stored beads, kundans, on the wall. And the embellishments,  die cuts , distress inks, alcohol inks and paints on the stand.

The next corner

On this window I have kept some stationaries, candles and chocolates. On this table I keep all the work in progress projects. And the big cupboards I have stored jewelry making materials and beads.

The below picture shows how I have arranged threads and fabric. I have loads of threads, embroidery threads, silk threads, tatting threads , cone threads etc. Most are organized here. Also fabrics which I use for quilt making are also store in these big boxes. You can see some laces too.

Fabric and thread storage

In this corner I have stored some more threads, decoupage tissues, papers, embroidery hoops and my embroidery projects in the bags.

This corner has my big embroidery machine, a small oven for my polymer clay and the mannequin,

This is my work table and chair. Yes! I sit down on floor while working. So I have kept a meditation chair. For me craft is too meditaion.

My working table and seat

My craft table is covered with papers though, it is decoupaged.

This is the relaxing area for me. I like candles , lights and books. Here I have tried to decorate little bit with candles and flowers. The Buddha idol , I had got when I visited Bodh Gaya. And there is a small Ganesha idol I made while learning terracotta. And some candles and most importantly all my books.

I know it is very small room. But my happy place. I create, relax and enjoy every bit of time spent here.

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
