Say No to Clutter! 20 Easy and Useful DIY Home Organizing Tips

How to create nifty storage that doesn’t cost a whole lot but saves several hundred dollars. Make use of discarded lotion bottles, shoe hangers that can hold various spray bottles or cleaners. Put multiple desks back to back and create bigger shelves for items such as printers and other necessary big things needed to carry out tasks. Reuse clothes hangers with clothes pins and create a new way of storing belts and necklaces. There’s even magnetic tape that can keep things in obvious sight so not to lose them. Baby food bottles are a great way to store miscellaneous pins, needles, nails, and other small items that hurt if stepped upon. Thus, a great way to corral them. There are folding storage boxes that can be used for dry good items in the pantry and shelves to organize cans and boxes as well. DIY—if done right—can make for inexpensive fix-it and storage options not otherwise thought of as good repurposing of stuff otherwise viewed as bulky, useless, and irksome.

Key Takeaways:

With a shelf, dowel or bungee cord, you can create a perfect storage space for rolls of wrapping paper.
You can wash out baby food jars and use them to store very small objects like nails and screws that would otherwise be easy to lose.
You can easily and cheaply create a DIY rolling basket that can help you neatly store and transport books or other items.
