The Crafty Organizer I would have to email pictures of how I organize my small tools and tiny stuff but I've made interactive storage solutions using the cheap photo storage boxes from Michaels or JoAnn. Thank you for sharing yout talent andfor your wonderful heart.
I save those container all the time, I love your desk organizer
What a great idea!
What a cute idea. I need to search for a drawer. Thank you so much.
Have fun!
Simple but genius x
Thank you!
Very nice idea, because I’ve been collected those plastic containers, so now I know what to do whit it. Thank you so much 👏🏻👍🏼🌹
You’re welcome 😊
Great ideas for reusing plastic food containers.
I have chronic dry eye, so I go through several boxes of eye drops each month. They come.in boxes that about ~5" x 2.5" x 3"which makes them a great size for little bits and bobs. They fit just right in my bathroom drawers, so I took a bunch of them, cut the tops off and covered them with pretty contact paper. They hold my bobby pins, hair ties, makeup, q-tips, etc in the bathroom, and in my desk they store paper clips, rubber bands, thumbtacks, etc. I also have a bit of a gelato obsession. I save all those plastic talenti jars for storage of screws, bolts, nails, etc in the garage, and in the office, I prettied them up by spray painting the lids rose gold and adding pretty ribbon and chalkboard labels to store stuff like beads, washi tape, buttons, etc.
I LOVE that!!!!! I spend way too much time starting at my recyclables before letting them go.... I stare thinking, "what can I turn this into?? Can I re-use it for anything else"? LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer me too! But I primarily focus on stuff I buy over and over since the packaging will be the same size for little things. And glass because it is really hard to recycle, takes a lot of energy usage apparently. But my personal pet project is fabric. Did you know over 40% of landfill waste is textiles?!?!?! I make it my mission to keep as much of our family's clothing out of the trash! I buy better quality garments, old things in good shape get donated, anything not fit for donations I use in upcycling projects!
Loved this idea!
Glad you liked it!!
Your videos inspire me!
I'm so glad! 🌻💛🌻
I just can't throw those plastic food containers away! My kids love to pick on me for my "someday-hoarding" issue. LOL!!
It's a fine line. I end up using 90% of the crazy things I save. LOL
@@TheCraftyOrganizer, you're definitely doing better than I am. LOL! I really have to stop being so hard on myself tho. I am raising my 2-year granddaughter. I'm really the only mother figure she has ever had. She's a real handful, and at 53 with health issues, she really wears me down. Oh, it's 8:40 P.M. and she's still bouncing off the walls. So much for me crafting tonight.
Thanks, Norrine. Inspiring!
Love this ideas
Thank you! 😊
I have wood tool box with one of those thick dowel handles. The box is divided into about five sections. It matched my decor style so I placed it on the back of my 30" deep writing desk to keep my pens and markers in. But they kept falling over and became hard to grab. I discovered that empty toilet paper rolls could fit in the sections nice and snug. My pens stand up nicely in them and remain sorted! Love it! The rolls themselves are out of sight.
Great idea!
Wow great ideas
Thank you! 😊
I’m in the middle of sorting out my craft room.....thanks for the great ideas, I have loads of STUFF that needs to be sorted. I know I’ll feel better in the end. Just looking at your craft space gives me good reasons to keep going 🙋🏽♀️👍🏽
Level app downloading rt now. Thanks SO much for tip!!
Great ideas!!!
Thank you!! 😊
I just have to say, I just love your ideas. You are so inventive and thrifty! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gifts with everyone! ❤️
You are so welcome! 💙
A agree with Libby 💯
I have a heavy duty cat litter box, held around 28lbs. Those would work
Dude! I LOVE those food containers! I hoard those things like crazy!!! I refuse to buy them tho. 😂 I work in home health so I know lots of ppl who get them
Right???? I find people throwing them away all of the time… and I always grab them! lol
I avoid buying those black plastic trays, they have a dye in them which means the recycling plant can’t recycle them so they always have to go to landfill. But if someone already has them then it’s totally sustainable to reuse them but I wouldn’t buy them especially. I’ve been trying to learn more about sustainability recently 😊
Thank you!!!! I was not aware that they were not recyclable! I agree.... I am glad I am saving the ones I use from landfills.
You are so gifted! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learn so much from you.
What a cute little miter box, perfect for smaller trims/strips
I frequently build similar boxes from sheets of foam-core. DollarTree.com has bundles available online, also Office Depot. I use E6000 and T-pins to hold everything together. For larger sizes I double-up the foam-core. (I also build open shelving to hold Dollar Tree.shoe boxes. I glue thin sheets of paneling to the bottom.of the shelves for extra stability.) Certainly more affordable than purchasing storage plus this is the ideal time to create units for future usage.
I LOVE using foam core!!! I did videos on custom paper holder, drawer divider, and drawers using it! Please share pics of what you've made on my Facebook page: facebook.com/clutterfairyLB/
I just ordered the box of 24 drawers from the dollar tree and had them shipped to my home. Now I just ordered the labels from Amazon. I can't wait to make this. Thank you so much. :)
This is a great idea !!! I love that it works for small spaces too 😉 Thanks so much for sharing ❤🤗
I appreciate that everything was upcycled
Love those containers... I have a bunch of them in my craft supplies now I know what to look for to keep them separately together without just stackimg them...
Love those ideias tfs
Glad you like them!
I never throw away meat trays just wash them and use them for storage organiser in my garage. As you put your trays in that box,i put long wooden sticks on the wall and put the trays one next to the other on shelves everything is so neat and tidy can just go, look and grab what i need.
Great idea! Once I used empty Pringle cans and wrapped the outside with pretty paper and glued them to a small thin board and used them for my different types of floral wires. That was when I first started crafting and didn't have a lot of money to spend on storage containers. I enjoy all of your videos!!
Great idea!
I am always looking for ways to organize
You and me both!
Dear Nor in
Tks I made a cart similar to a rascal with cardboard kitchen roll tubes and four wheels. I am super happy with it and I am planning to make a second but I hv to get the wheels. I spent a mere 1.25 to make it and it is functioning well.thanks for all your suggestions .Tc stay safe
Wonderful! I'd love to see it!!!!
I love your idea about the desk organizer diy. I have a small space between my craft desk & bookshelf that this idea might work. Thank u. Have a great day.
You make it look so easy! I tried over an hour to level some side rails for a box like this 😭
Thank you for all of your videos and helpful ideas ❣️ God Bless 💪🏾
OH NO!!!!! Hope you were able to get it to work. xoxox
Great idea, I’m moving house to one with lots of land, my husband is going to turn one of the three garages into a craft cabin for me, so I’m looking for all sorts of craft storage. Thanks for this. Huggles xxxAnnxxx
How exciting!!!! I love blank spaces!!! Sit in it empty, and imagine working in that space first - it really helps how you plan the area. :)
How exciting!!!! Best of luck. 💞
The Crafty Organizer I wish I could, but because of the virus, my husband got in to see it before the lock down, but I’ve only been able to see the thing on the estate agents Internet site, and hubby took me to look in the windows, I know what I want to do already, it’s a bit tired as it was an old lady that went to a nursing home, so I know what colours where I want to put them. We will only get the key the day we are moving so I can’t do it before either, but I’ll get there! Thank you for answering xxx
Bonny Johnson Thank you, I’m most excited about my craft cabin lol. We have travelled a long time as we were both in the army! So this is our last move yay I’m 61 and had enough now. xxx
so clever
Cool idea. Now I’ll be on the lookout for boxes! Lol!
You’ve motivated me to look at my boxes I’ve been saving to make something like this for my art room. Thanks!
Go for it! Let me know how it goes!!!!
Love this idea!!! Quick, cheap(free!) and easy!
Stay well!
Glad you like it!
I’ve used stackable letter trays (6 for $15 on amazon) with shallow dollar store drawer organizers as drawers. I love them because you can take them apart to clean and easily put them back together. It has become my favorite organization on my craft desk.
Smart!
What an excellent way to store things!
I love the level app on my iPhone
Love these drawers!!!
Have you ever shopped at a Goodwill Outlet (aka, the Bins)? I haven't had a chance to yet but I've seen several videos from people who do and I've noticed they seem to always a good variety of baskets and various containers that are perfect for crafting and organizing.
Not yet! But I REALLY want to!!!! Oh, I think I would get myself into SO much trouble there!!!!!
You have got me SO into this..made a belt and scarf holder...then moved onto one for paint..and I always have core board on hand!
Woohoo!!!!! I want to see!!!! You can post pics of what you made on my Facebook page: facebook.com/clutterfairyLB/
Perfect. I love the repurposing of this project. Great idea. It is great to have a place besides a permanent home for things you use everyday within reach. Thanks Norrine. Blessings - Judith
I love this idea! The furring strips made it so easy to slide those in and out. I thought you were going to have to dremel grooves, but that was too easy. I have a lot of those containers some that I bought from Amazon and then some we get when we get Chinese delivered Etc. I started crafting in 2005 and was definitely on a very small budget. Something that has worked fantastic for me is that I had two two-drawer file cabinets. I space those apart so that a chair and my legs could be in between and on top of them I put some rubber shelf liner and then laid a door over it to form a table. The hole for the door knob had been was a great place to put all of my electronic cords through so they were out of the way. In the two drawers is where I stored all of my card stock. I had a hanging file folder for full pieces of each color. In front of the full pieces I put a manila folder in the hanging file folder and that was for my scraps went so like you before I ever cut a new sheet of cardstock I would look through my scraps to see if there was a piece I could use. It was right there for I set so it was super easy to get to my card stock which let's face it that's the first thing you grab typically. Also having it inside the file cabinets kept it out of the sunlight and kept dust off of it. I watched another video of yours where you would put things in plastic bags and I love the idea of putting a cut down manila folder in there to keep it standing upright. I'm going to have to utilize that since I also often store things in zip type bags.
I love love love your videos! Your the best!
Thank you so much!!
You can get a those containers at Walmart. I think they are mainstays brand. I purchased a 35 pack on black Friday for $7.
I like this makes me think of what I can do in my room. Thanks for sharing. Now gotta go while its on my mind
Go for it! Let me know how yours turns out! :)
Such a great idea! And do able! So many projects require skills or tools that most of us don’t have! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
I have the Bubble Level App. The maintenance man at my apt. bldg has borrowed it twice now in leveling appliances in my apt.! I love your organizer. It gives me an idea for a mail organizer for my coffee table. Thanks.
That is awesome!
Love this one Norrine I have so many boxes and containers its not funny. cant wait to get up in the morning to match one of them up, I think I'm gonna need a bigger scale but I'm onto it cheers Donna
You got this! Share what you make on my Facebook page! facebook.com/clutterfairyLB/
I use the white baskets that I get from the 1 pound shop, live in England uk.
Great idea! And so easy! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
this is just great use of recycling lots of things I already have. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!!!! I love making something I can use and NOT having to spend a dime!!! :)
This was such a neat organizer. And thanks for sharing the info on the “Level” app. I’m sure that will come in very handy. Take care and continue to stay well.
Glad it was helpful!
That’s a great idea. I’ve got to check all my stash of boxes now.
Go for it!
Loved you video sweet friend!!! Great idea!!!
Thank you so much!!
Love the food containers for storage! I have actually been keeping mine now instead of putting them in recycling. Not sure what I will use them for but I'm sure one day I will. You didn't even need the lids which you could probably find a use for somewhere else. I forget that I have the level app on my phone. Great idea! Look forward to your next video! Stay safe! :)
I often use the lids under plants to collect the water :)
That’s great. =) thank you for sharing. =)
Thanks for watching!
;) you're welcome. =)
It’s amazing what you can do with things you have at home...watch out when you can shop at the resale places again!
Oh... I need some garage sales - STAT! LOL
Great idea, thank you for sharing,😊
You are so welcome!
Love your idea!
Thank you! 😊
Norrine, you never cease to amaze me! You have such a knack for creating things. I believe I mentioned before that I am organizing a crafting/sewing room at my home, and everything you vlog is something I can make and use. Love your ideas!
I can't wait to see your finished room!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I will be sure and send pics to you!
Brilliant as usual!
xoxoxxo
Greetings
I use a bakers rack for computer desk. It has room for things above and below.... Then I use a small table to work on.... The table seems to be my catch-all..
I love your ideas
I got rid of a side table for that reason!!!! LOL
Thank you so much for telling us about the level app. OMG great tool to have
Happy to help!
Love this dear
This one is going to solve some of my crafting storage for sure! I wonder if meat containers made of styrofoam will work? I so hate throwing them into the landfill. Washed in soapy clorox of course. Love your ideas they get my ideas flowing. Being inside has me making all sorts of crafts. My last one was a plant tower out of empty soda bottles. Stay safe
I don't see why not! Just watch the weight in them.... :)
Great idea... I'm going to do this for my bathroom
Have fun! Share what you made on my Facebook page!!!! facebook.com/clutterfairyLB/
I'm surprised you didn't label what was in each container. 😁
I really like this idea!! I have things that I use a lot all over my desk. Some of my bigger items like cutters and glue guns are in my top drawer or in a storage pocket in plastic shoe boxes with lids. I really don't like this system.
Thank you for this wonderful idea!! ❣️
Did you see your note in my background????
@@TheCraftyOrganizer @The Crafty Organizer I saw what you wrote on the card. I saw it there before but I had no idea that you wrote on it for me!! I thought it might just be an embellishment or gel stamp that you set up there so you would know where it was when you needed it later. I didn't mention it because I do that all the time and I didn't want to embarrass you. 😂
That is just the sweetest thing! I even saw that it's still there in your next video. You have filled my heart with so much joy. Thank you, Norrine. 💞💞
Btw, I had to go all the way up to my big screen TV to read what it said. 😂😍
Love it!! I'm going to check my closets for something I can use for this cool storage!
Please do! And then let me know how it goes!!
I've been looking for some wall mounted storage ideas.
You can get 4" or 6" pine boards in 8-10 foot lengths from the hardware store for just a couple dollars... have them cut down to the length you want your shelves to be and mount them on your wall with Dollar Tree brackets (2/$1) You'd have 3-4 shelves for UNDER $10
I kept thinking I'd seen this box in your house before, but I couldn't remember where. You did a video where you showed how you used one of those metal shelving units in your kitchen, where you were talking about those suction containers you stored cereal in. You showed that pressure lock handle and how the kids had to lock it in order to get it on the shelf. I think you said you made them that distance for that reason. Anyway, I'm almost positive this box was to the left of those containers. You had some sort of papers in it, I think. Am I way off?? Lol
Also, thank you for the level app idea!! I used it twice today. 👍🙂
You are spot on!!!! I have had that in almost every room of my house. LOL Did you find your note hidden behind me?? Glad you liked the level app! I love mine!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer Lol!!
I did see the note!! I even made my husband watch the video just so he could see it. I cried both times. 💜
I left a comment about it on an earlier comment in this feed. I think it'll give you a chuckle. 🙂
Hello Norrine this is so adorable and functional! I've used cardboard boxes with the brown gum tape to make things of this nature. (Then you cover it in pretty paper to decorate. Very sturdy. I'm noisy what food comes in those containers? Wuvs ya sweetie! Stay healthy, safe, Craftin and be happy!! 🐌🕉️🐞🧡🦚💚🦋💜🌻
I'm not really sure of the company name.... she's on a strict keto diet... so that food comes in these containers, but they also order out often - and the restaurants they go to use the SAME containers!!!
Norrine they are awesome looking!🦋 💚🦚💜🌻💙🐞
What a great idea! Maybe you could share your 🐝 project😜
I will share it on my Facebook page: facebook.com/clutterfairyLB/
If you were going to build a box, what would you use?
Double layer of Foam Core...
Ok, another issue for me. I have a work table but no work space. As I’m working I find pretty soon I’m trying to work in a 12” x 12” square. I’ve tried to find units to store my brushes, wire etc. etc but now they are overtaking my work table too . Part of the issue is multiple crafts: floral, painting, upcycling and many different supplies.
Can I send pictures for your advice?!
Hi, InspiringCreativeExpression. Absolutely! Let's see if I can help. Email me pictures of your area (wide-shots of the room/area and close-ups) to CallClutterFairy@gmail.com and I will take a look. 💜
Where do you get the beautiful back hardware on your magazine boxes?
Here's how I added my handles: ruclips.net/video/YyFKa7_LLB4/видео.html
Wouldn't foam posterboards work for this as well? Barring it wouldn't need to hold anything heavy.
Hi, Lisa Yes!!! I was just reading your rapid-fire comments! My first thought was... Not if you are using the boxes that hold 28lbs! LOL Absolutely, Foam Core would work. Thanks for all of the comments!
😊
I wonder, Could you color the trays any color ?
I could spray paint these.... but I am drawn to Black and White.
The Crafty Organizer love your videos!
Need help with desk and office help more with paper work. This is a start but need more please.
🦋💯♥️♥️
I need one of you, please! 😉 I need help in organizing everything. My husband disorganize everything. When I organize his closet, for example... within the week, it is all messes up. What can I say to him?
You say.... 'I love you'. In all the homes I've been in - and all the times I've been asked to 'make' someone's partner conform. I always say back - you can only control your own space. 80% of the time, the partner likes seeing the newly organized system and starts to convert on their own. However, you can't ask someone to change. Accept and love them for who they are.... even though it's frustrating. I know you wanted a different answer. 💙
@@TheCraftyOrganizer
Hahaha. Yes! I did! We have been married for 33 years now, so no chance to do anything about him. I was hoping to receive a magical answer, though. Thank you so much. 😉
Hey food for thought dollar tree sells smaller squares in the tool section for a dollar
Hey Mike! Good to hear from you again!!!! You are a WEALTH of info 😀 Thank you!!!!
@@TheCraftyOrganizer I try to be... Lol
Hi Norinne, Have you ever made anything to charge electronic devices?The cords drive me nuts!
Not yet! I'll add that to my idea board! :)
Hi how can I organize 3 large walk in cupboards, I need a space so I can reach every thing as I'm disabled and need things to be at a easy to reach so I don't over balance
when I moved into my large bungalow the toilet, wet room and kitchen were fitted out with grab rails and accessories aids, but all the other stuff got put in the 3 cupboards in boxes one on top of another filling all of them And as we are in lock down here in the UK its driving me mad I can't find anything and I get so far and then my back or leg hurt so a put everything back for another day Please help send some of your fairy magic over my way so I can find my way to sort this problem out
Debbie UK
Hi, Deborah! Can you please send me a few pics to my email? I'll see if I have any suggestions. :) CallClutterFairy@gmail.com.
Cords and chargers...Hoŵ????
I like what you've done...don't have those containers, and not going to buy a lot of them to only use a few...but what I do have are MUSHROOM BASKETS. We eat mushrooms, sometimes I get a lot of them...did you know they will hold Vitamin D if you put them out in the sunshine? Even after cooking they have it...anyway, I have 3 different sizes of the containers, and I have cardboard boxes - we buy our pet food on the internet, and have it delivered to our home, less expensive, I don't have to go out to buy it...so I think, I'm going to build some of these organizers to fit my mushroom baskets! Thanks for the idea. If anyone wants to gift me any of those little plastic trays, I'll happily make some of them too. :) OK, now to get busy...Thank you for this tutorial!!! I see an organized craft room and sewing room in my future. Maybe even in my closet...time will tell. :) Blessings
Email me your address!!! I can send you some. xoxoxo

I love your personality, it's awesome! I do feel compelled to say this to you though; accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and get to know him for yourself and not through any priest, pastor, or preacher because a lot of them are corrupt and unreliable today. Seek him while he may be found because he is coming soon and doesn't want you to die in your sins and be tormented in Hell because of the legality Satan has over your life through various things.
Too much talking

Thanks Donna... You could always fast forward. :)
