DIY Child Craft Studios

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This DIY Project Organizes Arts and Crafts Time for Under $50

— January 9, 2013 — Life-Stages
Parents looking for a project to help organize their kids' arts and crafts time will have a ball with this do-it-yourself studio. The best part? The entire project will only set you back less than $50 and some elbow grease.

The DIY blog Handmade Charlotte has compiled a list of items and instructions to create the studio, which any creative kid would love to have at their disposal. Particularly clever is the use of plumbing pipes as crayon cubbies. The blog also says that the back pegboard is optional, but we think that it's the most essential portion of the project. Without it, you're just really left with a basic work bench with far less organizational inspiration.

The project idea was created in conjunction with the Home Depot and the blog.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Craft Organization - Opportunity for innovative products or services that help parents organize their children's arts and craft supplies in a cost-effective way.
2. Plumbing Pipe Hacks - Potential for disruptive innovation in utilizing plumbing pipes for unconventional purposes, such as creating cubbies for crayons.
3. Do-it-yourself Projects - Growing trend of DIY projects for parents to create customized and affordable solutions for their children's needs.
Industry Implications
1. Home Improvement - Home improvement retailers could capitalize on the trend by offering curated DIY project materials and guides.
2. Craft and Hobby Supplies - Opportunity for manufacturers of craft and hobby supplies to create specialized products for organizing arts and craft materials.
3. Parenting and Family - Platforms catering to parents and families could provide resources, tutorials, and inspiration for DIY child craft projects.
