Craft/Art Room Declutter // Konmari Method

Craft/Art Room Declutter // Konmari Method Today I am sharing the process of decluttering my craft room using the Konmari method from the book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up by Marie Kondo. You can download this book for free with a 30 day trial of Audible! Visit http://www.audible.com/frugalcrafter to get started today!

This process was daunting and it took a month to complete. I worked on it a couple hours a day until it was done. Below are quick links to different art/craft categories I purged and organized. Some were dramatic (ribbon, embellishments, paper) while other categories hardly changed (watercolor) but there is something truly trans formative about taking all of your possession off a shelf, gathering them up and holding each thing and asking yourself if it "sparks joy" or not. Then dusting everything and the shelf before putting them back. Even if you didn't get rid of anything it will be much cleaner. Also make sure you remove storage solutions as you empty them so you only have the storage you need.
