DIY Organising

These past few weeks leading up to Christmas I've spent a lot of time trying to find ways to organise my room. Buying lots of pretty supplies as well as making bigger items has lead to a cluttered room and lack of space! Often things end up being thrown into draws and everything turns into big messy piles.

A few months ago I bookmarked a project found on a blog called IHeart Organising (which contains all the inspiration you could need for an organised home). The project was for Cereal Box Drawer Dividers, and I decided to start hoarding cereal boxes recently to try to tidy up one of my most used desk drawers. I used Christmas wrapping paper for the project because I bought rolls that were a massive 12m each!
It may still look messy, but trust me when I say it's a lot neater than it was before! I can now find things so much faster and feel happy when I slide open the drawer to see that everything is still in it's designated separator. I really liked this project because it used things that I already had around the house that may have otherwise been thrown into the recycling bin.

Thanks for the great DIY project Jen!

  1. It looks neat! I love using/re -purposing old boxes, my craft shelf is full of those, I never buy those expensive paper boxes sold on stores, it is so much economical+green+crafty when you recycle the stuff u already have! Thanks for sharing:)

    1. That is wonderful! There's a great feeling that comes from recycling things and being crafty/thrifty at the same time :)

  2. I Heart Organizing is one of my favorites. Your project turned out great! I have a similar system in my desk drawers.
