4 Free Organizing Tricks

 
You don't have to spend a lot of money to make your home organized.  Heck, you don't have to spend a dime with these four organizing tricks that I'm sharing with you today.  They're simple, you might already do them, but most of all I hope they encourage you to look around your home and think of simple ways you can organize with what you already have. 
 
Trick #1: take paper goods out of their container and place them on a shelf.  Toilet paper even looks better lined up in an orderly fashion rather than on a shelf in the plastic wrapping. 
 
 
Trick #2: use jars for simple, upright storage - I use this vintage little pimento jar for holding my small makeup brushes.  Use jars to organize dry goods, craft supplies, and for holding pencils and markers. 
 
 
 
Trick #3: cut the tops off of boxes for easy access.  No flaps to open and close, just trim off the flaps and you have free storage.
 
 
Trick #4: hang cleaning supplies from wire shelving - I do this in our mudroom - easy to grab and the bottles are out of the way.
 
So there you have it, 4 easy tricks that you can use to organize for free.  What organization hack are you using - have a great idea to share?

  4. I use those little pemento jars for my kids to use for drinks. They like them because they are made of glass- so it makes them feel like a grown up. And I like them because they are so small it's easy for them to hold with their little hands.
