The 13 Best Craft Organizers From Shopee (Part 1)

Crafters come from diverse backgrounds. Some of us are naturally creative and became hooked the moment we got into our 1st few home ec projects.

Others got into crafting rather late in life -- as a way to keep themselves preoccupied when they reached their 40s and 50s, when their kids were grown and didn't need them as much, or to be productive upon retirement. 

Still, others with a 9-to-5 job choose to block out a few hours a couple of evenings a week, or during weekends, to crash in front of the TV and tend to their works-in-progress.

And while a few crafters choose to dig deep and specialize in just a couple of crafts, a few others opt for multiple outlets to channel their creativity, blow off steam, and relieve stress. 

But Here's the Fact: Crafting Can Get Messy 

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: once you're done with a few projects or so, you'll immediately realize that there'll be at least a small pile of craft materials left. 

And even those who don't buy their materials piece-meal and opt for craft kits for cross stitch, diamond painting, scrapbooking, paper tole, cardmaking, etc. will find a few excess supplies left unused. 

The Solution? Invest in Organizers That Help Free Up More Space 

The following organizers were curated from Shopee and were chosen for being --

Japan Home Centre's 2-layer Hello Kitty drawer is just the right size for storing blank postcards and greeting cards, stationery sets, die cuts, ephemera, and sticker sheets for journaling. 

You can set up a couple of these on your desk or workspace, beside a calendar, a pen holder for your ballpoint pens, and even a bobblehead.

If you're into paper crafts like me, you may constantly be creating greeting cards, or aesthetically arranging photos, mementos, and ephemera on blank scrapbooks. 

Paper crafters are often on the lookout for ways to organize cardstock and scrapbook paper. Leftover scraps can be turned into stuff like gift tags and bookmarks, so it's important not to throw them away. 

These folded Sanrio organizers come in 3 chic designs, and are sturdy enough to hold a dozen or so packs of cardstock and scrapbook paper (both 8 1/2" x 11" and A4). 

They also come at a very affordable price, so you can order 1 each (or even several!) from each design, making them truly ideal for paper crafters.

(3.) Clear Plastic Organizer for Small Items

I used to hoard on colorful craft and plastic buttons, and I also have a lot of beads. 

This single plastic organizer alone can hold up to 30 smaller transparent boxes for similar items -- ideal for crafters who enjoy making different types of accessories like costume jewelry, phone charms, keychains, and bag charms.

(4.) Pen organizer

If you're the type who's into calligraphy, or you incorporate drawing and painting into your crafts, then you'll need natty containers to hold your calligraphy, brush, and gel pens. 

(5.) Plastic baskets

If you're into textile crafts like macrame, knitting, or crochet, you probably keep a lot of balls or cones of yarn. 

You can opt for a huge plastic storage bin for all of your textile crafts materials. Or, you can purchase 1 each of these plastic baskets with Sanrio characters and group your materials accordingly -- macrame cord, knitting or crochet yarn. 

You can store them inside a closet along with your knitting needles and crochet hooks placed inside pen organizers.

(6.) Hanging wall organizer
