What I Use For Craft Supply Storage
Craft supply storage where I store much of my supplies. Craft supply storage ideas.
I wanted to show you something that I think turned out to be the best craft storage ever and it was free.
If you are old enough to remember Leggs Pany hose that were displayed and housed in a shelf with pull out trays in the drug and grocery stores, well this is what I have.
From time to time the grocery store and dollar store near where I live change out their displays and shelving. They sit them at the back of the store to be disposed of. I have picked up a lot of things to recycle in my craft projects there.
Just always ASK the manager first if you can have it.
Luckily, one day I saw this old panty hose display shelf and ran to the manager. He said I could have it so I headed home to get the truck and some help and it was mine!
It is pretty big, I would say about 5 feet wide and 6 feet tall. As you can see in the pictures, it has tons of slide out drawers and that is where I keep a lot of my smaller craft supplies.

Trust me, this is probably the least of my supplies. I love having things on hand so when I want to get in the craft room and get after it, I have everything I need. I don't live near craft stores so when I do go to town, I stock up. It is a good idea to go soon after the major holidays when most things are marked down and you can really get some good deals.
There is a lot of stuff in this shelf as you can see. I have also utilized extra dressers and chest of draws for my fabrics and gift wrapping supplies. There are more tubs, boxes and of course, the closet full of stuff ready for use.
Have a look around at some of my other pages and hopefully you will find some creative projects that you will enjoy.
