While a dedicated creative space is lovely, it is also a luxury and by no means a requirement for creativity.

One of the most tried-and-true spaces for creative making is the dining table - the heart of the house - it seems fitting that it also supports something so central to life as creativity!

When it comes to space the key to success lies in keeping your tools well-organized. Store supplies in a bin, case or rolling cart., so you can easily bring them along.
