Jewelry Storage

If you or a loved one is a shopaholic and can't stop buying jewelry, you're gonna need a place to store all of those fabulous accessories. Luckily for you, a jewelry box/transporter can be made very easily from a plastic bin, a drill and a few metal hooks! 

All you have to do is find a small to medium-sized plastic container, either new or just one that you happen to have lying around the house. You then will take this container and drill however many holes you want in the sides of the plastic. After the holes are drilled and placed where you want them, you may insert the metal hooks that you have handy, so that they look similar to the picture above (depending on the types of hooks you chose, of course). Now you have an easy to make jewelry container!

You can use your newly made transporter to help keep your necklaces/ bracelets tangle-free, organize your jewelry by color, style or design and also take your accessories on-the-go to an extended vacation, a friends house or just somewhere else within your own home! You can also customize your box by decorating the outside or lid with duct tape, tissue paper, cloth, whatever you can think of.

If you would like to try this DIY project, but don't have the container to do so, check out the Edge Plastics website here to see all of the products they have to offer!

Overhead Garage Storage

 Even with everything stuffed in storage totes, you still might run completely out of storage space no matter how hard you try to condense every little object in your home. Although it seems like a disaster, don't worry as many people forget about all of the extra space they have around their property that they've never thought about turning into storage space. One place many people never really think about is the space under the roof of their garage. This space can be very valuable in creating storage around your property. If you have basic carpentry skills you can easily construct a makeshift platform out of plywood and some other boards that you can then attach to the top boards of your garage. Once it is securely connected, this new space can add some much-needed storage to your property.  If you take some plastic storage totes and place them up on the plywood after you fill them with your belongings that needed to be stored elsewhere, you can create quite the storage s...

Composting with Plastic Totes? Yes!

A worm composting bin, known as a vermicomposter, can be fairly inexpensive and easy to maintain. There are several ways to vermicompost. Below are instructions on how to build one kind of worm composting bin designed to be used inside. It is also possible to purchase worm composting bins. You will want to put your bin in an indoor space as you do not want the worms to freeze in the winter or get too warm in the summer. Additionally, you may want to put the bin in a basement or other out-of-the-way space since you will be producing compost and worm “tea” in the composter. Here are the supplies you need: 1. Two plastic bins – one must be taller and rest inside the other, shorter bin. The top tub should have a top to keep the worms from finding their way outside the box. It also needs to be somewhat flexible so you can drill holes into it. An 18 gallon tub that is roughly 15 inches deep, 20 inches wide and 15 inches tall works well. 2. A drill – To drill the holes so the worms can breat...

Organizing Your Kids' Toys

Any parent knows this struggle. Well-meaning and generous grandparents and relatives lavish gifts upon your beloved children. These children, surrounded by plenty, ignore most of the toys. The ones that are played with are left out, making your house look cluttered, or worse, to be stepped on by an unsuspecting foot in the middle of the night. You could do the normal thing of just shoving them into a toy box following the old adage: "Out of sight, out of mind." The problem with that is that your kids won't be able to find pieces and parts of things and then toys will get neglected, devaluing the generosity of those who gave the toy to them. How do you take control of this chaos? The easy answer? Organization. The tough part? Actually doing it. So let's get started! 1. (This will be painful😂) Get all of the toys out of whatever containers, boxes, nooks and crannies they are hiding in, and put them in a central location. Have room to spread out. 2. Find the tra...
