Fabric Storage Closet in my Office/Craft Room


I am sure all home decor bloggers have a stash of fabric laying around.  I know I do.  Before rearranging our office/craft room, all of my fabric was shoved into a box.  I had no idea what fabrics I had nor could I find what I needed if I did need it.  

When I decided to redo the office, I knew that I wanted my fabric to be stored in a way that I could see all the fabric I have.  I added so much storage space in the office that I could dedicate a whole bookcase to just my fabric.  So that is what I did.


I bought a Billy bookcase from Ikea and added a Billy Morebo glass door to use as the closet.


To store the fabric, I made mini bolts of fabric with several pieces of foam core from Walmart.  I measured and marked a 20x30 piece of foam core to get eight 7.5x10 mini bolts.


Because I have so much fabric, some of the fabric spilled into another billy bookcase in that room.


I love that I am able to see what fabric I have on hand now.  What do you think?  How do you store your fabric?


The office/craft room is almost done and I can't wait to show you the whole thing.  It is so organized.  A great place to work.

Don't forget, my Tuesday link party is still going on.  I would love it if you would link up.

  5. This is a fantastic idea! I have piles of fabric everywhere and can never find what I'm looking for. I like the mini bolts made of foam core. Great idea. I'll probably be copy catting this one!
