Ever found yourself wrestling with a tangled mess of paint tubes,
digging through drawers like a detective on a mission?
Say goodbye to the chaos and hello to effortless organization with the DIY Paint Tube Holder—your new secret weapon for a clutter-free, creativity-boosting studio!
This wall-mounted wonder lets you organize your paints in a way that makes the most sense to you—whether by colour, temperature, or type (because every artist has their own unique system!). Plus, it stores them upside down, ensuring they stay in their optimal position. No more digging through piles of paint tubes—just grab, paint, and create!
Not only does it free up valuable workspace, but having all your paints visible and ready to grab means you'll actually use them instead of hoarding them like an art supply dragon. And let’s be honest—there’s something incredibly satisfying about building your own storage solution that makes your creative process smoother (and your studio look way more professional).
Since creating this storage system for myself, I’ve spent more time painting than ever before! It’s a total game-changer for anyone who wants to create freely—without the frustration of clutter and mess getting in the way.
So, are you ready to ditch the paint tube scavenger hunts and turn your studio into a space that fuels your creativity? Grab your brushes, clear the clutter, and let’s bring your artistic vision to life!
Does this sound familiar?
- Your studio feels more like an art supply black hole than a creative space. Your paint tubes are scattered across tables, crammed in drawers, or buried in bins. Every time you need a specific color, it’s a full-on excavation mission. By the time you find it, half your creative energy is already gone!
- You keep buying the same colors over and over because you can’t find the ones you already own. (Who knew you had FIVE tubes of Titanium White hidden in different drawers?!) When your paints aren’t organized, it’s easy to forget what you already have—leading to wasted money.
- Your limited space is holding back your creativity. You don’t have a massive studio, and every inch of your workspace is precious—but right now, it’s cluttered with paint tubes scattered everywhere. There’s no room to spread out, no system to keep things organized, and every creative session starts with clearing a mess instead of making art. It feels frustrating, cramped, and anything but inspiring.
What if instead you could...
- Step into your studio and feel instantly inspired: No more digging through messy drawers or searching for that one perfect colour. Instead, your paints are neatly organized, visible, and ready to use—so you can get right to creating.
- Save money by actually knowing what you have: No more accidental duplicates or forgetting that you already own three tubes of Burnt Sienna! With all your paints neatly displayed, you can see exactly what you need—and what you don’t—so your budget goes toward creating, not overspending.
- Maximize your space—even in the smallest studio: Whether you're working in a tiny corner, a shared space, or even a closet-turned-art-nook, every inch counts. With this wall-mounted paint tube holder, you can turn even the smallest space into a functional mini art studio, keeping your paints organized, accessible, and off your precious workspace. Because creativity shouldn’t be limited by square footage!
I get it—having a big, fancy studio sounds like a dream. But the truth is, it’s not about the size of your space—it’s about how you use it. A well-organized, thoughtfully designed setup can transform even the tiniest corner into a creative sanctuary. When everything has its place, inspiration flows, and your art takes center stage. Because creativity isn’t measured in square footage—it’s measured in how freely you can create!
That’s why I created the DIY Paint Tube Holder—a simple, affordable way to organize your paints, free up space, and bring more ease into your creative process. It’s more than just a storage solution; it’s a game-changer that keeps your paints visible, accessible, and ready to use, so you can spend less time searching and more time creating in a space that truly inspires you.
