33 Ways To Organize All The Small Things
Bed And Bath
1. Store bobby pins in a magnetic paper clip holder.
2. Corral your hair ties with a carabiner.
3. Pair your earrings up in an ice cube tray.
4. And pack jewelry in a daily pill organizer when you travel.
5. Cover a cork board in linen for a flexible necklace display.
6. Group nail polishes by color in a shoe organizer (you know you never actually put shoes away anyway).
7. Store your makeup brushes in a toothbrush holder.
8. Paint PVC pipe to separate your underwear.
9. Loop shower curtain rings on an over the door towel rack to organize your scarf collection.
10. Give everyone their own jar for their toothpaste and toothbrush.
Your Kitchen
11. Stack spaghetti boxes in a magazine holder.
12. And your plastic wrap and foil; even your cutting board if its small enough.
13. Keep your Keurig cup drawer in heck with egg cartons.
14. Stack cup cake wrappers in a jar.
15. Build a big jar shelf to decorate with your beans, snacks and pasta.
16. Customize drawer organizers for all of your kitchen utensils.
17. Sort plastic lids by size in a dish drying rack.
18. Line a vintage tea tin with scrapbook paper, and make small divers labeled with types of tea.
The Kiddos
19. Hang a tiered fruit basket with an s-hook to give bath toes a happy home. If you’re worried about rust, spray lightly with a corrosion inhibitor or anti-rust spray paint.
20. Fill a bean bag cover with stuffed animals.
21. Separate colored pencils, markers or crayons by color by tapping together old Crystal Lite containers.
22. Pull out that serving plate stand you never use and turn it into a craft caddy.
23. Label toy drawers with photos of the toys to make clean-up easy peasy.
24. Transform an ordinary LACK table into a lego table.
25. Stash game pieces in plastic bags behind the game board.
26. Save your scrap yarn on clothespins. You never know when you’ll need it!
27. Group your yarn by color in a wall-mounted wine rack.
28. Sort small office supplies into muffin tins.
29. Screw peanut butter jars to the bottom of your garage shelves to keep nails in check.
30. String up a rainbow of ribbon spools with some chain and curtain rods. You could also use dowels, and co-opt a few of the rods to hang wrapping paper. You will want to make sure the rods don’t slip out of the chain by putting some sort of stopper on the ends (maybe rubber bands).
31. Dedicate a drawer to spices.
32. File circular needles away in a binder full of 4-pocket organizers. You can also write down the needle’s size and length on a card behind it.
33. Re-pot your glitter into salt and pepper shakers. This works best if you find a little caddy to hold them all.
