Grid wall. Wall-mounted, rubberized wire grids (which can be found at commercial/retail supply stories) are perfect for storing miscellaneous objects that can be hung. This simple organizing solution will end your days of digging through bottomless drawers for that missing pair of scissors, roll of tape or ribbon. Instead, all of your odds and ends can be hung in clear view for easy access.

Inspiration board. Every craft room needs inspiration to get your creative wheels turning. Create your own inspiration board with a favorite fabric and decorative ribbon. All of your photos can slip between the fabric and ribbon to stay in place without tape or tacks.
