Projects To Help Organize Your Home

1. The Undercover Crate: Hmmm. I knew there had to be a way to pretty up those plastic stacking crates, check this out. Fabric liners/covers that keep the stackable function intact. Tutorial download is here: (pdf).
2. DIY Sturdy Magazine Holders: I’ve seen lots of these made from cereal boxes but these are nice and sturdy made from heavier cardboard boxes (complete with rounded edges).
3. DIY Laundry Organizer: (Video) From the site–”Here’s a simple solution to organizing the dirty laundry in your laundry room. Construct a custom shelf unit sized to hold three to five laundry hampers so clothes can be sorted upon arrival in the laundry room.“
4. Placemat Organizer: Sew two placemats together with pockets to make an organizer for whatever you need–this example shows craft supplies.
5. Hanging Bed Organizer: Lots of tutes for these around, but this one incorporates a strip of rubberized drawer liner to keep even the heaviest books from pulling out the organizer.
6. DIY Wrapping Paper and Ribbon Organizer: Very nice DIY project that you can tuck behind a door.
7. Chalkboard Cannisters: I thought these were interesting, paint metal tins with chalkboard paint.
8. Stacked Cupboards: Another thing to watch for on Craigslist or Kijiji, two different sized cupboards to make this interesting armoir, love it!
