Are your pet supplies all over the house? Make a handy pet organization station to keep all of their gear in one place!
Home Organization: Pet Supplies
Last spring, our family became first-time dog owners to an adorable Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that we named Sophie, and last month we welcomed home Sophie’s half-sister, Ellie. These two puppies are a TON of fun, but with three human boys also in the mix, I started finding their puppy gear and pet supplies ALL over the house. None of the pet gear had a true home, and no one could ever find anything, so I created an adorable pet supply home organization station where all of their stuff can live in one place!
Pretty darn cute, right? That’s Sophie (who just turned 1-year-old) on the left and Ellie (3 months old) on the right.
I say it all the time, but I LOVE my Cricut Maker machine, and it especially comes in handy for labeling and home organization projects! For this pet supply organizer project, I cut both iron-on and adhesive vinyl with my Maker, but you can even use the Maker to build entire projects like I did with these cute Desk Organizers!
Supplies Used to Make a Pet Organization Station:
- Ikea Skadis Collection – Pegboard, Containers, Hooks, and Storage Bags
- Cricut Maker
- Cricut Everyday Iron-On in Black, White, and Neon Pink
- Cricut Premium Permanent Vinyl in Silver
- Transfer Tape
- Cricut EasyPress 2, and Mat
I started by cutting out all of my vinyl using the Maker. If you’d like to recreate the same look, you can use this Cricut Design Space project!
Next, I weeded all of the excess vinyl using my favorite Hooked Weeding Tool. If you don’t have one yet, you need to go get one…like, right now! I’ll wait! Trust me, it’s a game-changer when it comes to weeding vinyl, especially with more intricate projects.
Once all the vinyl was weeded, I broke out my trusty Cricut EasyPress 2! The EasyPress is another one of my favorite tools because it totally changed the way in which I craft. I used to hate iron-on vinyl because I could never get it to stick permanently or look nice using my household iron, but once I got the EasyPress in my hands, iron-on became one of my MOST FAVORITE materials to use (and I use it A LOT!)!

To decorate the storage container cups, I used silver adhesive vinyl and weeded it with the Hooked Weeding Tool (did you get one yet?!).
Apply a piece of transfer paper over the top of the weeded vinyl, and use the XL Scraper to smooth down the surface of the transfer tape to ensure that everything gets stuck to it.
My favorite part of this whole project are their personalized storage baskets because they’re SUPER cute and really great for organization and storage!
I am SO thrilled to have all of our pet supplies together in one place! Now, the kids always know where to find everything (and where to put things back!)!
