Here’s our junk drawer!  Mostly everyone has one to catch all the everyday random things we accumulate. My junk drawer is not really junk it was just a little disorganized. While in Tjmaxx I came across these cute acrylic clear little containers. Perfect for my drawer.

 

PURGE…..Yep take everything out. When organizing your drawer remove all of the cheerios, crumbs, screws, toenail clipper etc. Throw away what you don’t need and, put everything else back in it’s place. Drawer liners helps protect the inside of your drawer and it also helps keeep your containers from moving around while opening and closing the drawers.

 

Get some containers. It dosen’t matter what kind. It can be anything from a muffin pan, or a egg carton which is perfect for small items that can get lost in your drawer.  Any container is fine as long as they have various dividers, and they contain what you need. The Dollar Store is a great place to find what you need.

Labels! For each container label them. I Separate my batteries, my tools calculator, flashlight etc. If your drawer is like mine with 100 ink pens stuffed inside downsize them. I keep a few in our drawer and the rest in our supply closet. Now….   There’s a place for everything with labels so every one can stop yelling ”Where’s ???????”

Customize your drawer! Foam board is perfect because you can customize it to fit anything in your drawer. It’s sturdy, easy to cut and affordable. My girly hammer, scissors , zippo, and box cutter knife is housed here. I always have a hammer in my hand. That story is for another day… My drawer was a little akward to fit the other bins so I had to get a little creative.
