If you’re a craft superstar like me, you’re always on the lookout for craft supplies. Whether I’m at the dollar store, thrift store or local craft store, my eyes are open searching for the next item I need for crafting. There’s nothing worse than getting geared up for a craft project and realizing you don’t have the supplies you need to get it done. That’s why I’m sharing today’s craft closet supply list. We’re going to look at which crafting supplies you need to have on hand for those spur of the moment projects.
I’ll admit I’ve been a craft supply hoarder in the past. My craft closet has been packed to the gills with paper, glues, wine corks, empty plastic containers, you name it. It’s easy for me to get disorganized and not even know what I have in my stash when I have too many supplies on hand. That’s why I went through my craft closet supplies recently and got rid of all those things I meant to use but hadn’t yet. I determined which supplies I truly needed on hand for projects, and which ones needed to go.
So how do you choose which craft supplies are necessary? Check out my Craft Closet Supply List below to see which basic items you need to have stocked in your craft arsenal. I have them listed by categories based on your crafting interests. Never get frustrated from not having what you need for a project again when you have these basic supplies on hand.
