Kids Size Craft Storage

Craft storage organization

The idea of creating something like this was due to the fact that our "craft supply drawer" was over flowing and desperately needed to be moved into a closet. 

It also happened to be when my oldest was 3 and the Pandemic hit. So naturally a change was needed : )

We've been using this kids size craft storage system every year since with just a few minor updates as my girls creativity and interest have changed over the years. Then up above I have all of my supplies up high like paint, spray paint, glue gun, ribbon and random supplies left over from projects as they are only meant for "mom," to touch. A video demo of me breaking everything down can be seen here.

Then what I used to create this system can be found below.

Kids Activity Gear Bag

 

Swim class is what ours is going to be used at the moment though we foresee dance class picking up again this fall : ) Maybe sports for you?!⚽️

 I realized this summer that with my girls ages (5 and 8 years old) not only do they want more responsibility though I also no longer have too or need to carry around a large giant bag for both them. They can take care and carry their own towels, googles and snacks in a bag. Major motherhood upgrade!! 

It's funny how fast they grow : )

So what I used to MAKE these for my girls?

DIY Art Display for Kids Room





 Our art displays have certainly gotten larger over the years (because of course!) yet I love the simple look and over all idea of the design's I've made through the years though this time I used wooden glue and transformed a wooden plaque into our own whimsical floral creation for my youngest to hang and display her art.  Along with a more pop of color๐Ÿ’—

Supplies and details of where everything is from? Listed out below.


Supplies

Wooden Frame Plaque 

Clothes Pins

Wood glue (this is what I used here)

Pink Paint (similar shade  here!)

Wooden flowers (for base frame)

Add-on Flowers to make it "3D"  here and here

Gold Paint (MY NEW FAV!) because you only need 1 coat.

Thin Paint Brushes
