You’re not alone. We’ve all been there, lost in a jungle of crafting gear, yearning for peace and productivity. Well, fear not! Today is the day we reclaim our craft spaces and reign in the creative chaos.
Recently I was lucky enough to receive my first Cricut Maker (yes I am very late to the party!). I had been dreaming of one for so long and my parents and my sister kindly purchased one for my 40th Birthday.
Instantly, everything was so overwhelming! I feel like I still have a long way to go but organizing my supplies has actually helped me to wrap my head around all of this.

Cricut Storage Ideas: Tiered rolling carts
I love these carts for so many organisation solutions! This is a great Cricut storage idea if you need to be mobile with your crafting.
The question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you need your Cricut to sit on or within the cart. Larger Cricut machines will obviously require a larger cart.
Once you’ve figured that out then you simply need to think about the supplies you would like to have in your cart, particularly those that you use the most or need to be quick at hand.
Personally, I like to keep my Cricut machine in its designated spot. However, whenever I’m crafting I still tend to move about my craft room or even the house as I often photograph or film what I’m doing.
Sometimes I just need to be near the kids too. Being mobile with a rolling cart is perfect!
#1 | Open shelving for machines + vinyl
Use a wider cart such as this Hudson Rolling Cart from Michaels to add larger Cricuts on the top tier. The rest of the cart is open so you can store vinyl and other Cricut machines – via Pinterest (see shopping link #1 below).
#2 | Smaller cart for machines + crafting on the go

#3 | Smaller drawers for smaller storage and accessories
Rather than using open shelving tiers, Sarah from Creative Ramblings has used a cart with colourful drawers to store all of her small Cricut supplies and vinyl (see shopping links #4 and #5 below).

Cricut Storage Ideas: Pegboards
I have a pegboard for my regular craft supplies however it’s quickly being overrun by Cricut supplies! I think I’m going to need a whole other pegboard just for Cricut crafting. I will also to find another wall though so that’s going to be a little tricky! Here are some amazing Cricut storage ideas using pegboards…
#1 | Cricut tool DIY pegboard
Make your own pegboard to hold small Cricut tools using a picture frame. This is a great idea from particularly if you don’t have too much wall space or want tools close at hand.

Cricut Storage Ideas: Vinyl
#1 | Vinyl storage bins
Stop digging around for rolls of vinyl! Lydi from Lydi Out Loud has used vinyl storage bins to neatly tuck them out of the way. She even has her label cut files available.
#2 | Tiered Basket Stand
This 3 tiered basket stand stores over 65 rolls of vinyl for Melissa from Silhouette School and is great for larger amounts of vinyl. You can find a similar basket floor stand on Amazon.
#3 | Desktop Acrylic Vinyl Storage
If you’re looking for vinyl storage that’s close at hand or you simply only need a small solution, this precut vinyl desktop storage just might be what you need.
#4 | Shoe Rack Vinyl Storage
Use shoe rack storage to hold your vinyl and you can pick how much it holds. Buy a smaller rack or several for larger amounts. Since vinyl is quite light, you could also use fabric shoe organizers. This idea is from Linda’s craft room tour at Craftaholics Anonymous.
#5 | Vinyl Wall Hanger
Use up that vertical space with a vinyl wall hanger. This particular one can come as an over-the-door storage or to hang on the wall.
#6 | Magazine Holder
This is the Tiffany VRO Vinyl Holder and is designed to hold up to 7 rolls of vinyl. You can purchase more for more vinyl. A similar idea to this would be to simply purchase clear magazine holders (you may even have some already!).
#7 | Plastic Bag Dispenser
I had to include this brilliant idea from Kimberly at Sweet Red Poppy as I’ve been seeing this one (and her other craft room tour photos) for years.
She has used the IKEA plastic bag storage to insert her rolls of vinyl. Since banning plastic bags where I live some time ago, I’m not sure if anyone here needs this item for its intended use. But it’s definitely a favourite with the crafters here!
#8 | Scrap Vinyl Storage DIY
Place your vinyl scraps into trays or plastic document containers. Melissa from Polkadot Chair has a fun and colourful DIY for storing all those scraps in wooden trays.

This is such a simple way to organize your Cricut mats. Kimberly from Sweet Red Poppy has used removable Command hooks to hang her mats. Great for taking up vertical space or any out-of-the-way areas such as below shelving.

I love to take advantage of the storage within my Cricut, however, adding these foam organizer inserts just takes it to the next level and keeps everything all snug and secure. I’ve got this insert in pink! You can check out my review on the Cricut tool and blade insert if you want to know more.
