My daughter’s top drawer is seriously the worst in the house. She has lip gloss, stick-on earrings, and hair ties mixed in with socks, underwear, and tights. My hope is that this easy system will help her easily organize and find the items she needs daily.
Materials
- 1 Sheet of Poster Board
- Utility Knife
- Ruler
- Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Pen (or something to mark your measurements with)
Step 1
Lay your poster board on a cutting mat.
Step 2
Measure 3-4 inches from one of the short sides of your poster board. Mark the measurement in 4 to 5 places across.
Step 3
Next, use your ruler as a straight edge along the measurement marks and cut across your poster board.
Step 4
Continue measuring and cutting until all of your poster board is in strips.
Step 5
Now, pull one strip of poster board and add a strip of hot glue to the left side edge.
Note:
- The photo above is for reference only, don’t actually put entire glue sticks on your poster board strips. Lol!
Step 6
Add a second strip of hot glue to the center of the strip of poster board and press the second strip of poster board on top of it.
Step 7
Lastly, add a third strip of hot glue to the right side of your strip of poster board and again press the second strip to it.
Step 8
Next, add 2 strips of glue where pictured on the top of your second strip of poster board and immediately press a third strip of poster board on top of it.
Step 9
Repeat steps 5 through 8 until all of your strips of poster board are attached.
Step 10
Now pull apart your organizer.
Tip:
- If you are having trouble getting it to stay open, push the opposite glued seams together for each section.
Since this organizer doesn’t take up the entire drawer, I also added a pencil box and small plastic cup. The pencil box is now holding her stick-on earrings, lip gloss, and perfume. The cup holds bows, hair ties, and barrettes.
