So while browsing Pinterest one day, I saw something that I thought was BRILLIANT so I decided to try it and share with you guys!
I am working on organizing (I use the term "working" loosely!) the closets in our home. I recently did the one in my husbands office. We have a variety of spare cords that were all heaped into a shoebox and I transferred them to this clear plexiglass bin and put a label on it. Much better than the shoebox, but the cords were still a tangled mess.
So I russled up some old wrapping paper tubes.
And Toilet paper rolls. These are the preferable size, but I did not have enough to I cut my tubes down to size. I will gradually replace the jagged tube pieces with
the TP rolls.
Next I just took my cords and folded them neatly. Like this: (Please excuse that my camera did something weird and made my hand look like a 90 year old)
And then I carefully inserted them into the rolls and lined them up in the bin.
I filled the gaps with empty tubes for now so everything would stay neatly.
I am really happy with the way it turned out! It is a great system for organizing using something that you already have!
Does anyone else have any great ideas for organizing without spending money? Next up I plan to tackle the Laundry Room "closet" (It is really more of a large storage shelf niche with a curtain over it) and the coat closet. They are bad people! I need ideas!
