Drawer organizing tip

[peach]

I know this isn't "new" but I have been getting a lot of use out of it as I organize my drawers, so I thought I'd share.

I have been cutting down empty food boxes - oatmeal, cereal, etc. and using them as dividing trays for small items. I am cheap, and they work just as good as those plastic ones you spend several dollars a piece on. Plus, no one looks in my bathroom drawers but me anyway....

I used them to organize hair ties, bobby pins, nail clippers, and all my lipsticks. Totally free and makes a big difference!

Oohh..that is good. I'm good in that department because years ago Target had organizers in the dollar spot and I stocked up like a mad woman. However, I've been using baby wipes containers for various stuff lately. My favorite is I put Rubes' fruit snack pouches, applesauce pouches etc. in them. THey stack so great and I just grab and go for the car! Sturdy, hold a lot of little things and easy access. I just wanted to add to you post.

That is cool. I clip ring-ed some of Rubes' flashcards together. I should container them though...it'd be easier for her. She loves them in church..that way she could sort dump and refill on her own!

Good ideas! I use empty glass jars for organizing a lot. For the bathroom, I use the glass jars from small candles. They have been helpful in organizing my med cabinet for cotton swabs, razors, bandages, toothpaste, etc.
