If I had to pick my favorite project from my entire house, it would be this. This pegboard has not only organized all of my craft tools and kept them easily accessible, it looks great too! This project was one of the easiest projects I completed for our new house and probably the one with the most impact. It took me a few hours and less than $20 to make the vision happen.
I found a sheet of pegboard at Lowe’s for about $5. I didn’t have it cut, this sheet is exactly the size I bought from the hardware store. I added several coats of turquoise spray paint before it was just the way I wanted. There are quite a few different ways you can get the hardware for your board, you can buy each piece individually or buy a kit. For $11 I got almost all of the hardware you see here, this kit is similar. The baskets had to be purchase separately. At $5 a piece, they were the most expensive part of this board, but something I felt I needed. You can find similar ones here.
Included in the kit was a couple of brackets to make a shelf. I simply found a piece of wood I had laying around from a craft project and laid it across them. This is the little shelf that is holding all of my thread. Similar brackets can be found here.
I use my pegboard to hold pretty much everything. I use the baskets to hold my Mod Podge and glues and the long straight hooks for things like my obsessive collection of Washi tape and twine. I use smaller containers that came with my set to hold glue sticks and my black permanent markers.

This was the first project I completed when we moved a few months back and it is still something I use every day. I love that my husband knows where to find glue and tape now without asking and I love that I can find my tools and not have to resort to borrowing my husband’s. It keeps me organized and it certainly helps that it is my favorite color too!
How bright and cheery, and I love that color too! I also love organization, but mostly see it in other people's houses. lol The pegboard is beautiful!
Love it! What a fun color- and such great storage. Keep everything together and out so you can see what you have- my kind of storage!

You know how much I LOVE this! I didn't realize it was so inexpensive… now I want one even more!
This is genius!! And only 5 bucks?! What a steal! I am with you on the turquoise too…definitely my favorite color 🙂 GREAT idea!!
Brilliant! Now, if you could come up with a pegboard that could stash all my overload of papers! 🙂 And no, the trash can won't work!
We are looking for a house, and this is definitely on my to-do list for my studio area!! (If I do it now, I'll just have to take it down to show our tiny condo, LOL.) Gorgeous – I LOVE the color!!
I have been looking for some great craft room ideas like this, thanks for the post!
I love your pegboard – the color is lovely and it is a very creative way to organize your craft supplies. The price is affordable, as well – love it!
