Getting It Together for the New Year - Make it Yourself

As the New Year approaches super fast

I am trying to get all my crafts ready and more organized

 

I usually have my crochet and knitting together since they both use yarn

but not anymore,

I found that having them separated it helps me keeps my projects in order.

 

So I made my own basic crochet kit

you can add more to it as you learn to make more things

but this will do to start with:

 

Scissors

Yarn

Yarn Needle

and a Crochet Hook

 

 

 

For a basic knitting kit

all you need are:

 

Scissors

Knitting Needles

Yarn Needles

and Yarn

 

 

 

I do like to do Art Journaling also

for which I have a little more than the basic stuff

and of course you can add a lot more than this

 

 

Besides my Journal, I have in my basket:

 

Scissors

glue

water colors

markers

colored pencils

gesso

acrylic paints

chalk

artist tape

and index cards

 

For my basic Embroidery kit

you only need:

 

Needles

I like to keep them in a needle book that I made

pincushion

pins

embroidery floss

and you can also make your own thread bobbins out of milk jugs lol

scissors

embroidery hoop

and fabric

 

 

 

Besides these I also do Traditional and Digital Scrapbooking

 

 For the Traditional Scrapbooking I have

repurposed an entertainment center in my garage,

just like art journaling the materials to use here can be unlimited

but a basic kit would have:

 

Patterned Paper

Cardstock

Scissors

Acid Free Glue stick

Double sided tape

Paper cutter

 

 

And here in my drawers you can see:

 

Punches

Stickers

Brads

Ribbon

for which I made my own ribbon organizer

and different types of embellishments

 

I took me a while to get organized, specially the scrapbooking part or it

but seems like I finally got it done.

 

I just have to set all my crafts in baskets that I can carry along with me :)

 

I hope this helps you and inspire you in some way :)
