Looking for craft room organization ideas before the school year starts? If you struggle to keep things in their place, you might consider an unconventional organizing method – sorting by colour!

  1. Prep bins make sure they are clean and sticker free. If needed, wipe with Krud Kutter to help remove the stickers. 

  2. Tape the bins. Every bin had a few inches of paint area and was taped off with painter’s tape.

  3. Cover the areas you don't want painted. I used a really wide painter’s tape, added a garbage bag over the top, and taped it on top of the tape. This was mostly to keep the spray from splattering where I didn't want it.
  4. Spray the paint using slow, back-and-forth motions.
  5. Remove tape and garbage bag.

  6. Allow the bins to dry fully and fill the bins with all the pretty-coloured supplies you have!
