When you no longer need a cot for your children, up cycle a side as fabric storage or paper storage for you craft area.
Take apart an old cot and use a side as fabric or paper storage. Fold your fabric lengths into thirds for neater edges. Fold the fabric over a bar, let the length hang down one or two bars and tuck behind another bar. You could drape longer lengths of fabric over more bars to denote how much you have of that particular one.
Prop up against a wall. You can see your fabric or paper at a glance, and it looks prettier than having them stored in boxes. You could also do this with lengths of wrapping paper or wallpaper.
Sort buttons by colour and store in up cycled jam jars.
Put baskets on bookshelves for makeshift drawer storage.
Use magazine files for cards and envelopes, flat sheets of gift wrap.
Use a cake stand for pretty storage and useful if you need to lift lots of things off a table or desk for more flat space for sewing or photo layouts
Use a kitchen towel holder for reels of ribbon. This one unscrews at the base to slide the reels on.
A dedicated print table / photo area, useful for placing the laptop on for plugging into the printer. It also doubles as a photo surface for pretty pictures.
