Craft Round-up: Mini bars, hairdressing caddys & storage boxes

By on 15 January 2013 in Craft Round-ups, Round-Ups

 

With the new year, comes fresh new starts and a promise to be more organised, get on top of things, and keep ‘stuff’ in order.  Well, for me it does anyway.

I spent the weekend gutting my study, chucking out the old, making way for the new and generally organising things so I can find them.  Tidy desk, tidy mind and all that!

So, spurred on by this, I knocked up a little memo holder, upcycled from a charity shop picture frame,  to keep all those annoying bits of paper in order.

It looks like I’m not alone in my mission to get organised.

Rainy Day Mum has made a brilliant fabric covered storage box for the kid’s books, but I guess it could be used for all manner of things.  Pop on over to see how she did it.

I LOVE this idea from Domestic Goddesque.  If you have girls, you will no doubt be as irked as I am at the darned hair clips and bobbles which seem to be everywhere, and yet are nowhere to be found when you need one.

Well, here’s her solution – the hairdressing caddy.

Finally (and this really is my kind of organising), the very gorgeous Lucy from Capture by Lucy has been re-arranging her mini-bar!!!  I would very happily spend a few hours on this.  Pop over to her blog for all manner of loveliness and life envy.

And lastly an idea from Red Ted Art Saltdough fridge magnets

So how about you? Do you have any crafty plans afoot to get organised for 2013?  And just how long will those good intentions last?

If you’ve written any great craft posts lately, please link them up below so we can all see.

    I think Lucy’s mini bar looks awesome, but I think it could do with a little more alcohol!!! :D xx

    What great ideas. Storage solution is my fav – especially with all the new toys.
