A well‑organized craft cart feels like magic. Everything you need is right where you expect it, supplies stay visible and accessible, and your creativity flows without the constant hunt for supplies. With just a few smart pieces from The Organized Option, you can turn any rolling cart into a beautifully efficient, totally customized workspace.

Here’s how to build a cart system that works with you — not against you.

Start with the Basics: Build Your Foundation with Basic Boxes

Your cart’s shelves are the perfect home for Basic Boxes, and choosing the right sizes makes all the difference.

Size “O” Basic Boxes — Perfect for 4x6 Pockets

If you store photos, ephemera, journaling cards, or small project pieces, the Size O Basic Box is your new best friend. It holds 4x6 Flip, Flap Tabbed Divider Pockets perfectly, keeping everything upright, visible, and easy to flip through.

Use these on the middle or lower shelves of your cart to create a clean, structured row of categorized supplies.

Size “2” Basic Boxes — Ideal for 5x7 Items

For slightly larger supplies — think 5x7 pockets, card kits, embellishment sets, or themed project bundles — the Size B Basic Box gives you the extra width you need without wasting space.

These boxes are a little taller than the "O" boxes, so put them behind the "O" boxes on the middle or bottom shelf to create a staggered effect with your supplies. 4x6 items in the front, 5x7 or 6x6 items in the back.

Top Level: Organize Small Supplies with 1.5" Basic Boxes

The top tier of your craft cart is prime real estate. It’s where your “reach‑for‑it constantly” items should live — pens, adhesives, tools, clips, small embellishments, and all the tiny things that love to scatter.

The 1.5" High Basic Boxes are perfect here. Their shallow height keeps everything visible, and their modular footprint lets you create a layout that fits your cart exactly.

Use them to:

• Sort small tools
• Store adhesives and tapes
• Organize embellishments
• Keep tiny project pieces contained

They’re the secret to a top shelf that stays neat instead of becoming a catch‑all.

Top Level: Organize Tall Supplies and Tools with Basic Box "D"

This tall box is one of my favorites. Clip these together around the side of your cart basket and fill them with everything from markers & scissors to tweezers and brushes. You'll love how these boxes keep everything upright and accessible.

Maximize Every Inch: Hang Perfect Pouches on the Cart Edges

One of the easiest ways to expand your cart’s storage is to use the outside of it — and that’s where Perfect Pouches shine.

Pen Pouch

Use the hooks that came with your cart to hang the Pen Pouch on the sides of your cart to keep your favorite tools right at your fingertips. No digging, no clutter, no lost tools. They are also great for scissors, bone folders, markers, or anything long and skinny.

Cash Pouch

The Cash Pouch is a surprisingly powerful little organizer. Hang it on the side of the cart to hold:

• Creative Connector Tool & Clips
• Small tools
• Sticky notes
• Washi rolls
• Project bits
• Chargers or cords

It’s the perfect “extra pocket” that keeps your essentials close without taking up shelf space.

Your Cart, Your Workflow

With the right mix of Basic Boxes and Perfect Pouches, your craft cart becomes more than storage — it becomes a mobile creative station that adapts to your projects, your space, and your style.

You’ll spend less time searching and more time making.
Less time reorganizing and more time enjoying.
And every time you roll that cart over, you’ll get that little spark of satisfaction that says, “Yes. This works.”
