I use a black plastic Pampered Chef rotating tool organizer for most of the things I want at my fingertips. This is what I have used for many years. Very sturdy.

I use one of the fabric scrapping totes. The outside pockets hold a ton and the inside compartment is divided. I keep small photo boxes with embellishments in it, my rulers, tool tin, and about 5 Ali Edwards plastic envelops with various things. It works for me.

My most used necessities are in a big mug on my worktop. Simple!

I have that mesh organizer on my work desk and like it.
I don’t like it for my scrapping stuff...my tweezers, scissors and wire snips tend to catch on the mesh.

It holds so much! Back in the day when I went to retreats-- I would just bag the whole thing up and take it with me!

I have the desktop spinning organizer from Michael’s. I’ve been loving it. Lots of spaces, hooks, small drawers, big spaces and little spaces.

Mine is also white & I've had it FOREVER! I decorated the outside of it with rubons many years ago.

FurryP and joblackford it's on amazon. It's called It's Sew Emma Stash 'n Store. There is also a mini. I have wanted one for a while, and it's free shipping on amazon. The regular size is the same price or less than the mini on amazon. Why are smaller things more money? The It's Sew Emma has them much more inexpensively but I don't know what shipping is. Here is the mini:

I love the mini one! I didn't know they made them, but yeah, it's ridiculous that the smaller one is more expensive than the bigger one.

Taylored Expressions also has a Sew Emma Stash 'n Store that they sell. I bought one from Taylored Expressions when they first came out in their online store. It is useful. (I am not in any way affiliated with the Taylored Expressions online store, except as a customer.)

I use a Boon Stash Multi Room Organizer purchased from Amazon. After trying other things, this one is my favorite and a keeper.

I use a $1 plastic pencil holder box for my basic supplies: pens, scissors, acrylic stamp block, a few stamp pads, adhesive, tweezers, bone folder, etc. It stays open on my desk, but I can easily close it up and take it to a crop or class (or did, in the before-times).
I also have a Totally Tiffany Buddy Bag that sits open on my desk with punches, mists, Nuvo drops, and washi, stapler, clear stamps brushes, ruler, pens. It fits a lot, and I can transport it to crops as is too.

I use a Totally Tiffany Ditto Tool Tote for most of my tools-- glues, tweezers, bone folder, scissors, etc. I use it 'closed up' so it takes up less real estate on my desk. I have it sitting on a wooden Lazy Susan so I can turn it around to access both sides. And for my ATG gun, random post it notes, scratch paper, etc. I have a Tonic tool tidy at the very corner of my desk. I used to use an ArtBin case with dividers in to hold my tools, because I did a lot of traveling to crops, but I hated having to load/unload the case at home before and after going to a crop. With the Ditto tote, now I just drop the entire thing into a tote bag to carry to crops.

Lots of great ideas. I sent a couple to my dd who is looking for ideas for a gift for me. We’ll see if I get one. :-)

I found this on Amazon & love it! The cups are deep. I keep the things I use often in them. Here’s the link.

I use a clear multi-level makeup organizer! Mine is similar to this one... it has taller places in the back where my rulers, scissors, Cricut tools, etc go... then the shorter spaces have my multi glue bottle, pencils, journaling pen(s), tweezer-bees, stylus, etc... then there are three drawers under it that have my most used cat's eye inks, distressor disc, staples, etc...

I have a spin basket from my Longaberger days. I love it and it works well as a catch all. I like the handle, as it’s easy to move the basket. I use my table for cutting fabric and right now it’s being used gift wrapping. Like this one. I’ve seen them much cheaper on eBay—you just need to watch for them.

I use my tote-ally spinning, fabric, tote bag. I’m too lazy to pack & unpack for crops. It took me months to figure out what to keep in there and where to put it, but now it’s absolutely perfect for me. I use one side for my sharps (5 pairs of scissors, xacto knife, journaling pen, mechanical pencil, black sharpie), the other side for misc tools like tweezers, toothpicks, weeding tools, chopsticks, forceps, Crystal katana, scoring tool, bone folder). Front pockets for specialty tape runners, pop dots, color wheel, photo polishing cloth. Back pockets for wet adhesives, undu, crop-a-dile. Center for 4 sizes of glue dots, travel roll of paper towels, tape gun, t-square, metal ruler. The bottom drawer stores tape refills, a couple of foam daubers, post-it’s, trimmer & xacto blades, chapstick, bandaids, Tylenol & a spare $20). It’s my only bag where I KNOW everything I need will be there. It’s much better organized than my purse.
I also use a Michaels spinning tool organizer for some of my bigger & less frequently used items like hole punches in a variety of sizes, paint brushes, distressing tools, tiny attacher, & brayers. However, I would never want anything with that big a footprint on my desk.
I have the totally tiffany ditto bags at the beach house but I don’t find those as practical for some of the bigger/heavier or tall tools (eg crop-a-dole, rulers). I would never take anything that big to a crop.
