24 DIY Ideas To Organize Your Home

Is there anything more enjoyable than finding new ways to organize your home?

Okay so chocolate is pretty great and sleeping in is too, but feeling smart and organized is definitely in the Top 15.

Every time I do one of these organization hacks at home, I like to pretend that Martha Steward and Macgyver are standing over my shoulder giving me a thumbs up.

So here is my list of 24 not too difficult, not too expensive, creative, organization hacks. If you do try some out, let me know how you make out. Enjoy!

I always have a lot of wires and cords scattered around the house. Using toilet paper rolls is a great way to organize any chords you have laying around! You can get creative and even decorate them yourself or with your kids.

If you’re like me and have a lot of ribbons, this is a great way to keep them organized and easy to use! You can make your very own ribbon dispenser by using soda bottles. All you have to do is cut the top off of two bottles, squish the two bottom halves together and cut a slit in the side. To keep them together, use rubber bands to keep the ribbon ends in place.

A great way to organize your hair ties is with a carabiner. To make it more efficient, you can attach a hook to the inside of a cabinet to keep them easily accessible.

If you want to keep things organized in your drawers, use shoe boxes to create dividers. All you need to customize your drawer is shoe boxes and scissors. Cut the boxes in half by length or width, as needed for your space and then tuck it into a drawer.

Dry Erase Frame

Use a picture frame for a dry-erase board. Use a pretty scrap of fabric or wallpaper, frame it and hang in a high traffic area. Use a dry-erase marker to write down reminders on the glass. You can even attach the marker to the frame with a ribbon!

Velcro Your Teddy Bears

With a few strips of Velcro you can keep those teddy bears off the ground! Attach half of each strip to the back of each stuffed animal and the other half to the wall. Use the soft side of the Velcro on the toys to avoid any scrapes.
