Organizing Tips

1. For under bed storage or anywhere suitcases fit, remove the top of an old suitcase and sew a piece of fabric to fit over the bottom section. Velcro the fabric to cover the top of the bottom section of the suitcase. Now, add casters to the bottom section of the suitcase and ta-da, you have a rolling storage bin.

2. For portable storage solutions, use shower caddies, baskets, or any container that has a handle for easy carrying.

3. Need a clothespin bag? Why pay upwards of $10 for a clothespin bag? Use those old denim pants to make a bag. Cut off the pant legs and sew across the two legs, creating a bag. Clip a pant hanger to the waist of the old jeans and use the hanger to hang the clothespin bag wherever you need it.

4. Use old paint cans for convenient storage buckets in places away from edibles.

5. Use Ziploc bags to bag and label individual cellphone, iPod, and other technology devices’ chargers and accessories. Situate bags in an unrestricted place such as a kitchen drawer. This way each family member need only locate the Ziploc bag with their name and device ID on it to access needed chargers and accessories.
