5 Ways To Organize With Shoeboxes

May 9, 2020 · In: DIY 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.

He met this four year old little dude who was sick on the couch clutching his Lightening McQueen car. Soon after, Noah told me in the car “Mommy let’s stay friends with him, ok?”
So we did. And here we are ten years later. Nothing makes my heart more full than seeing these two together.
…Except when they gang up on me for asking [dumb] questions about superheroes… 😅
Happy Father’s Day Nigel!
Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we a Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we are going there…
As exciting and freeing and calming it is to get a space cleaned up and organized, it’s also stressful and overwhelming and exhausting. Especially when you’re doing big projects.
After three weeks straight of working on my garage, I was reaching the point of burnout. I got behind on other things, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough, and my to-do list kept getting longer.
If you’re feeling this way today, I want you to give yourself permission to do these two things:
1. Take a break. It is ok to pause a project and take some chill time. Log off of social media, stop looking at your list, and just recharge.
2. Remove things from your list. You might have planned a huge project, but after a while you start losing enthusiasm. At that point, let some plans go. Save them for later in the year, or maybe even never. Projects should be flexible, not set in stone.
What’s something on your to-do list you can let go of today to save you time and stress?
