shoebox organizing ideas from bloggers

5 Ways To Organize With Shoeboxes

May 9, 2020 · In: Projects

Learn how to easily organize with shoeboxes thanks to five innovative bloggers.

If you can’t go to your favorite craft stores and get to work on your next project, it’s not as big of a problem as it seems. All you need is what’s hiding in the back of your closet, like that dress you wore exactly once two years ago. What you have at home already can be as effective an organizer as any, so here are five ways to organize with shoeboxes.

5 Creative Ways To Organize With Shoeboxes

Jewelry Organizer

This upcycle from Alternate Creations uses pencils and crafted slits so that each piece of jewelry slides right off when needed.

Marker Caddy

 Amanda, AKA Aunt Peaches, spent only ten minutes with her shoebox and some empty toilet paper rolls to make a crafty desktop marker organizer.

Charging Station

Skip those $50 chargers and go with a shoebox instead. Tasha Chawner traded a messy surge protector for a homemade charging station. The small windows keep cords identifiable and under control while keeping the actual power strip hidden.

Picnic Basket

Jen from 100 Directions made this project after her thrift store picnic basket started to carry more dust than deliciousness. She used ribbon handles and fabric paper to make open-air lunches (even at home in the backyard) more appetizing.

Seed Box

Flowers and foods come in all sorts of varieties, which is why Ananda from A Piece of Rainbow turned two shoeboxes into a labelled seed organizer. The divided tabs mean that she doesn’t have to dump out five packets of adjacent seeds to look for one kind of pepper.

What Will You Make?

If you’re into the pretty transparent containers (Let’s face it. Most of us are.) then that’s a great option for later once shopping becomes a little more manageable. But there’s something to be said about a humble shoebox and a healthy amount of crafting time, and as you’ve seen, shopping your house is a great way to stay Organized*ish. Let us know how you’ll organize with shoeboxes in the comments.

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.

If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the closet, they may just need to be turned around. Make sure the booty seam is facing backward so all you see is a nice straight line.
Slim line hangers and arranging from light to dark shades also make your denim stash look just like a store in your closet.
