3. Sort and Categorize: Start by sorting your craft supplies into categories. For example, group all paper products together, separate beads and jewelry-making supplies, and organize paints and brushes.

   Invest in clear storage containers for each category of craft supplies. Transparent containers make it easy to see what's inside without having to open each one.

6. Create a Craft Station:

   Designate a specific area or room as your craft station. This helps keep all your supplies in one place, making it easy to find everything you need when you're ready to craft.

1. Declutter Regularly:
