Shelves the same color as your wall + jars make you look organized

Whether you have an entire room to craft in or not, by painting or purchasing shelves (free-standing or wall-mounted) the same color as your walls, you’ll create storage that blends in, not stands out. By keeping your smaller craft supplies in jars (or other cute containers), the whole area will feel organized.
