the dreaded junk drawer...

organized in less than 10 minutes!

my before junk drawer contained:

9 rolls of scotch tape

Christmas candy

5 foam brushes

2 boxes of staples

2 staplers

5 pairs of scissors

1 hole puncher

10 chip clips

4 chap sticks

3 nail clippers

1 hammer

3 screwdrivers

1 box of batteries

2 candle lighters

2 bottles of Elmer's Glue

1 CD

10 pens

10 pencils

5 markers/highlighters

1 address book

1 army guy

Everything comes out and get categorized and the drawer gets a good clorox wipe down!

In the meantime...

I found this organizing technique on pinterest the other day. She uses the bottom of cereal boxes to organize all of her junk drawer stuff. I LOVE this idea! It's a free way to make things look neat and tidy!

I found this box in our storage room that was just sitting, so I grabbed it! I knew it would be the perfect size for the drawer.

I took the flaps off and added some polka dot fabric to the bottom of it, just to make it look a little cuter!

After THROWING things away and putting things where they actually belong... this is what the end result is!

TOTAL TIME SPENT: 10 min

*a little bit of time for something that makes such a BIG difference!

Do you have just 10 extra minutes today?

GO now and organize your junk drawer! :)

(one drawer down, 23 to go!)
