Thank you so much for this video.. I have made so many storage trays, general, watercolour and polychromos pencils, A4 filing trays, a nail bar and still have more in the planning. Brilliant video, Thank you again
Oh, Sam, I L O V E your tenacity (!!), of which I have bloody little! However, Iike you, I SO need compartmented storage, so I took a “chip board” (pretty much your “gray board”) desk organizer I found at a U.S. discounter (Tuesday Morning), and added M A N Y small boxes to subdivide the compartments that were already there. I’ve used rectanglar ones; the square ones from the Vick’s VapoRub product and makeup boxes; I’ve even wrapped bathroom tissue paper tubes in printer paper and fit them to the task, which, in truth, gives a few more tiny spots to put oft-used slim items that might otherwise get lost among “the many” slim items. Thank you, Sam, for this vid as well as your many others. They are a treat! P.S: I SOOO much prefer this style compared to the lazy-susan kind.
The ones in the shops don’t even come close to be half as nice as yours. OMG……. I will make mine to fit the length of my desk. Maybe in two sections and place side by side. This is going to be a fun project to use up some of those " bits & pieces " that seem to ALWAYS be left over! 🥰🤗🤗🤗
I love this. All your videos are wonderful. The cards with all the interesting and beautiful folds. I am a big fan. Thank you for sharing your talents. 🥰🥰🥰
Thats such a great idea for all our bits and bobs Sam. Something i could really do with too. I can never find anything, because our house Gremlins disappear things, right in front of my eyes. 😆 If i had something like this, things i use would have a spot to go. No more saying, 'now where did i put that'...i know I'm not the only one doing that. 🤪 I really liked the papers you used. The colours were lovely, especially with the added sparkle. Hehe, i love a bit of sparkle. Its a lovely project to do. Thank you as always Sam. Xxx
Wow, just amazing! Looks fabulous, yes you could buy one; but why would you when you can make one this nice and know you made it, with Sam’s help of course! TFS! xx
This is fantastic. A question though... wouldn't it be easier to cover the chipboard before you cut all the pieces and just leave the edges bare for gluing? Or would that make it harder to glue everything together? Thank you for sharing... it seems beautifully engineered for its purpose.
wow you've inspired me so much in the past few days I've been super busy making these. Ive made one the same as yours and then a slightly smaller one. oh wow your right I don't know why I didn't do this earlier. Its going to help me with my you tube videos too, way less editing and it should make the process easier Thanks so much !!
Hey Girl … did you give it a go? I’m always so short on crafting time, I’ve made do with a box to which I’ve added many smaller boxes to maintain the kind of organization Sam’s made in her dandy project. I’ve even used bathroom tissue rolls, as even the tiny spaces between those have allowed separate “compartments” for my oft-needed slim items (a fav pencil, my die pick, etc.). Enjoy your new year, Karen, whichever direction you take!
I absolutely love this I’m going to make a few for my big sideboard I can keep everything in it’s place then and not in my ikea tins I can’t wait to get started thank you Sam ❤
That is one of the nicest caddies I’ve seen! You did a brilliant job! Very straight forward instructions and very adaptable to anyone’s taste. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this video Sam. I've made toolboxes and rubbish bins out of corrugated cardboard (shoe boxes) but I'll have to try the grey board. Really like your desk caddy.
If you’re into recycling, you might also consider cereal boxes. They can be layered up to be more substantial. Also, the “economy size” ones from costco are beefier and a bit larger than grocery store ones.
Fantastic! I have always wanted to know how to strengthen the joins and you have taught me! I will be starting on this tomorrow…. Bought gray board from Amazon about a year ago then got intimidated. You have reinvigorated me! Thank you!
Hiya Sam, just ordered my grey board and this will definetely be my first project in the next year. Can I do the drawer storage as well with grey board? We are in a lockdown and all stores are closed. You showed us a nice photo of your mam and grandmother, I really like that. Wishing you all the best for the coming year Sam and I hope we see a lot of your new tutorials. Greetings from the Netherlands, thea
You are always so clever, Sam! This desk organizer is so practical and so darned cute! Very much you with those colors and the shiny and the glitter. Thank you for showing us how to make this, I want to make a little shelf unit for my desk to hold all my many Tim Holtz mini ink cube tins and this gives me some good ideas. Please tell us how Nan liked her wreath box with the goodies in it!
Thanks Sam, I really love this project and, as always you make it so easy to follow. I'm definitely going to have a go at making myself one. Thank you, Karen
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. Your ideas are so awsome. I got to making it directly and will finally be able to declutter my workspace. Have a great start into the new year. I already look forward to what you'll come up with next. 🤩🤩
Thank you so much for sharing Sam this is something I know I need damn in my craft room and it's so pretty to be able to organize herself and be able to work from it it will save me a lot of time looking around for a while until things I love your DIYs you're one of my favourite I pray you have a great New Year and looking forward to all your new DIYs in 2022 God bless you my dear friend
Very nice. I added this to my playlist. Do you have a video for makeup storage? I'd like to make my daughter one for her brushes, palettes, eyelashes, etc..
Another fab tutorial, it's given me an idea and I will be making this one too. I'm off out later to find my signature paper. Thank you again Sam for such brilliant inspiration.
This is huge Sam. A great project. I would love to make one of these. I kinda lack in the patience area. It would take me some time to accomplish this one, but I want to make one so bad!! Be well & TYFS
I have the same issues! You C O U L D use an already made box from one of our “discounter” stores (found my at Tuesday Morning), or maybe an IKEA box? Then, using boxes from dry food boxes (rice, graham crax, cereal, …) or even frozen food from costco or sam’s club, which are s u b s t a n t i a l (!), or boxes from makeup or meds, e v e n bathroom tissue rolls! Cover ‘em with pretty paper and line them up in the bigger box. Is it as elegant as Sam’s? M A Y B E not, but it M A Y be just the thing to alleviate the “gotta find it” frustration!!
I really needed this in my life. Thank you so much. I’ve bought several containers over the years, but nothing was perfect for me. Now I can make my own for all my needs. You’re the best.
I'm embarrassed to admit how much money and frustration I've wasted in my search for the perfect desk caddy. Despite all the 3D projects I make, it never occurred to me to make my own 🙄. Thanks for another great design, and hope you have a great New Year!
This is such a great storage idea Sam. I am going to try this for my crafting area. It is so customizable. I only hope mine looks as neat as yours🤪. Thanks for such a detailed tutorial.
I, too, was thinking of ways to adapt this design. My “tool tote” has to be able to be stashed away (I craft in my kitchen), but it does need to hold pretty much everything Sam was showing us. My thought was to make TWO SHORTER ones, connected with a HINGE on one end, so it could open as far as Sam’s. To accommodate moving it into storage and back, I’d make the back-most pieces taller with a handle hole to make toting it easier. Just have to get my ambition back after recent “punies”.

This is THE best storage box I have ever seen!! And I have loads of grey board! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
The ones in the shops don’t even come close to be half as nice as yours.
OMG…….
I will make mine to fit the length of my desk. Maybe in two sections and place side by side.
This is going to be a fun project to use up some of those " bits & pieces " that seem to ALWAYS be left over!
🥰🤗🤗🤗
Lovely. You make it look so easy. Patience is the name of the game.
I love this. All your videos are wonderful. The cards with all the interesting and beautiful folds. I am a big fan. Thank you for sharing your talents. 🥰🥰🥰
I don’t know how you do it … you are a genius when it comes to all of these great storage pieces & cards! I love it!
Omg I love it when you build these things I always make it once I’ve seen you give it a go you explain everything so well!
Thats such a great idea for all our bits and bobs Sam. Something i could really do with too. I can never find anything, because our house Gremlins disappear things, right in front of my eyes. 😆

Thank you as always Sam. Xxx
Wow, just amazing! Looks fabulous, yes you could buy one; but why would you when you can make one this nice and know you made it, with Sam’s help of course! TFS! xx
Thank you for sharing, I will be making a smaller version. Such a handy little organizer.
I’m going to give this a try. It makes your tools readily available to use
Love this caddy 😍😍😍
BRILLIANT- Thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻
This is fantastic. A question though... wouldn't it be easier to cover the chipboard before you cut all the pieces and just leave the edges bare for gluing? Or would that make it harder to glue everything together? Thank you for sharing... it seems beautifully engineered for its purpose.
She added reinforcement paper and then painted it as a base of white behind the patterned paper. So, no, that wouldn’t really work.
It's a lovely organizer, thank you for sharing.
Sam your so talented
That is such a wonder idea 💡
I think this is fab work
This is a brilliant idea. I have a small cosmetic lazy Susan that kinda works, but when I rotate it, things inside catch on other items on my desk
Such a great idea but looks a bit hard to do make. I may be brave and try this it would be great to have for my crafting supplies.
Hi Sam
I already made me 2 of them going on to make number 3 so so so usefull thank you again for video
This is definitely pop a well liked movie on and create project!
Thank you for this tutorial. I plan on making it soon. Very clever!

Thanks so much !!
I love this. I have a Pampered Chef organizer and I really love mine. But, I think I want to make one of these. I'm such a sucker for storage lol.
Going to give this one a go. Wish me luck, Sam you make it look so easy.

Love this new project. I will make it next month. Now relax and try to stay out of my craftroom.😱
Hi 👋🏼
I want to know if you know how to make a markers holder. I love it looks great. Thank you for your tutorial on making the organizer.
I just found your videos and I am loving the things you do thank you for sharing
Sam, I would just like to thank you so much for this tutorial, I made the organizing over 2 days and am thrilled with how it turned out.
Wow, Denise … What ambition! Puts me to shame for slacking off when I know how much this would improve my organization!
I absolutely love this I’m going to make a few for my big sideboard I can keep everything in it’s place then and not in my ikea tins I can’t wait to get started thank you Sam ❤
This is fantabulous 😁
grate grate ordiniser. I plan to make it. thank you!

Great tutorial. Not only showing how you built yours but teaching how to customize as well. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Super cool! Thanks for sharing
Fantastic! I have always wanted to know how to strengthen the joins and you have taught me! I will be starting on this tomorrow…. Bought gray board from Amazon about a year ago then got intimidated. You have reinvigorated me! Thank you!
Wow this is amazing xx
YAYYYYYYYY!!!!! I love a good building project, greyboard is my friend lol, thank you Sam, can't wait to have a go xxxx
Hiya Sam, just ordered my grey board and this will definetely be my first project in the next year. Can I do the drawer storage as well with grey board? We are in a lockdown and all stores are closed.

Sam you did it again! Thank you so much for sharing your noggin! This is the PERFECT desk caddy. I'm definitely giving this a go💕
Wow 🤩 this is massive! And beautiful yet functional.
I love this!
ABOUT LOVE! I wonder if I could paint or cover the pieces as I go? Definitely an amazing idea, thank you! ❤
I think that would be my inclination as well. I think my hands would cramp trying to get down into such small spaces.
Fabulous, I didn’t buy the lazy Susan storage due to not having enough space but this will fit nicely between my wall and cutting mate. Thank you xxx
awesome work.
What an excellent idea. I cannot wait to make my own now.
Wow another beautiful creation.Can't wait to make this.
Great idea.
This desk storage is amazing. Thank you for sharing/posting this tutorial. Everything with in reach👏👏❤️
Oh, I love this!! I love to be organized and able to find things easily! I need to make one of these!! Thx for sharing your tutorial! ❤️p
I try to remember to score my binding strips while whole, then cut to fit each compartment.
Thanks for this Sam have been waiting for this to be uploaded. Just what I need for the new year and my plan to get organised. X
Fab piece of storage for all our things to access easily. Great tutorial as always. Happy New Year to you and all your followers x🥳x

Brilliant, practical tool, Sam. Tfs. ❤️❤️
🙏🙏 been searching for Diy desk top storage! Love it!!♥️
This is absolutely perfect for craft room storage. Great job Sam! I just wish that thick A3 sized chipboard were easily available in the US.
Have you tried Hobby Lobby? Back by their Framing Dept. I’ve seen pretty substantial pieces. You might check them out.
This is awesome!. I have some great ideas for this to clean up my desk. Thank you!
WOW Sam. You are so clever, this is amazing. Thank you very much for sharing. Take care ❤

Just watched this on the telly! Given me an 💡 idea to make something similar! Happy New Year!
Love this project.
Fantastic!!! Such a fabulous organiser. Thank you so much Sam.
Brilliant tutorial. It has come at the right moment for me as I'm trying to reorganise my desk and this will be perfect
I made something like this for small paper scraps, and put them only if they didn't measure higher in width,
I love your customized desk storage idea! Another brilliant idea! Thank you Sam!
Love it thankyou Sam you've helped me so much with how to organize items.
I'm embarrassed to admit how much money and frustration I've wasted in my search for the perfect desk caddy. Despite all the 3D projects I make, it never occurred to me to make my own 🙄. Thanks for another great design, and hope you have a great New Year!
