How To Make A Jewelry Box With Drawers

Habitation Office month is in total swing! And it'southward not just nigh the papers. And paper piles. And filing. And paying bills. It's also about the area you do your work inside.

My desk-bound is pretty cracking and tidy and I have been really happy with how the organisation has held upwards over the concluding year plus, however, there was one drawer....

It used to look nice and lovely! My favorite acrylic drawer organizers and all!

Just then one day, I decided I would rather apply the acrylic dividers in my vanity for a fun project, and that I would address the desk drawer at a afterward date. Almost five months later, information technology was time. Here is a true life story of how drawers can suffer once dividers go bye bye:

Eeek! Dumping ground! Everything I use at my desk was being tossed right into the drawer. I couldn't even tell ya what was at the bottom of the messy mess. At least my pencil pouch was sort of acting like a divider, no?

Thank goodness for this month'south challenge, because I am beyond words smitten with the outcome of my lilliputian drawer organizing project. Here is what I used to DIY some super cute drawer organizers:

Pretty papers, {both wrapping and decorative cardstock}, regular record and double-sided, pencil, pair of scissors, box cutter and a yard stick.

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been collecting leftover food boxes such as those from cereal, waffles and granola bars. One time I had plenty to play with, I popped them into the drawer to see how I could use them as dividers to reorganize my madness.

Once I had my desired location for each of the boxes, I used the drawer every bit a guide to mark the summit around each border of each box.

Then, using the box cutter, I cut the boxes!

The next step was to slice down the decorative paper {whatsoever pretty paper will practice}.

At that place are plenty of ways to wrap a box with newspaper, and after a few completed dividers I definitely had a system going.

I started by using a thin strip across the bottom, attaching it to the box with double sided tape.

So I used a pencil eraser to push button in the creases around the within edges {advisedly so the paper wouldn't tear}.

Once the first strip was taped down nice and tight, I repeated the same pace the contrary direction.

Again, pushed in the inside edges with a pencil eraser and taped it all downward. I did find that it was easiest to exercise my creases/folds before taping, vs. trying to work around the tape.

All done!

Love polka-dot. Seriously, obsessed lately.

Anywho. Here they are all together in their happy new home.

So beautiful I could barely stand it! I didn't even want to fill them upwards they were so darling! Beloved dear lovity love!

Just, after oohing and aahing for a fiddling bit, I refocused and started organizing. I purged, put things back where they belonged and the rest of the items found themselves in their new brightly colored cereal box drawer organizers.

Everything had a habitation and was paired with similar items. Oh happy day! No more than messy drawer!

And but considering I know you all want to see it in information technology's real live location, here is what I go to peek at at present when I am working away and need to catch some hand cream or a highlighter:
