I have lots of Arts and Crafts Materials, with very little space, as I live in a one bedroom flat, and very little money. I've tried the usual cheap plastic boxes but so many little bits and bobs its hard to keep it accessible and in one place. And its driving me mad, as I have to try and dig stuff out. Any ideas I would be grateful.

Have you seen the cloth shoe holders that you can hang on a door. This could help you with some but label the openings as to what you put into it. Get some small plastic bags to the the items in to seperat them.

Have a look at this site, covers loads of different Crafts all with free downloads. Obviously you will need some materials to go with them but that can be very cheap especially when it comes to the different papers crafts (origami and 3d paper sculpture especially)

If you have closet space, you can get a hanger shelf. See link. I also have found that the shoe storage containers work well. I use the cubby hole kind, and re-use TV dinner plates, foam meat trays, and many other containers that everything comes packaged in.
I have also stacked dozens of cereal boxes on their sides and taped them together with duct tape. They make wonderful shelves, and are lightweight and easy to move around, with the trays (described above) in them.

Keep tiny stuff separate in old (CLEANED) pill bottles, or ice cube trays. If you're lucky, you can find ice cube trays with lids. You can put these into larger plastic bins and stack them, or put them in drawers, etc. just remermber to label, label, label.
I find cookie tins are good for storage, also. They last forever, and are super cheap the week after Christmas.

I would get the zipper plastic bag type holders or the ones you can sqeeze the air out of and place under the bed, they are also clear so you can locate what you want pretty easy. Take care.

Use a cork notice board to display smaller embellishments etc on the wall (keep the stuff in its original packaging or buy those resealable clear plastic bags) ... your stuff is tidy but also visable so you can easily see what things you've got :).

I got one of those plastic carts from Target that has several drawers & is on wheels so I can stash it in my closet & pull it into the room when I need it. Some of them are expandable as well. Here's a link...
