10 ways to organize your life using a shoe box.

We may think that we need pretty and expensive solutions to get organized, this is not the case. I will share 10 ways to use a show box to get organized. You can always decorate your shoe box if you want it to look pretty.

1.  Use it in your underwear drawer, fold your underwear and file them in the shoe box. Easy to see and keeps your drawer organized. Use one for socks and bras as well.

2.  Keep old photos in it. File photos neatly and use index cards to sort photos into sections. Easy to find and easy to store.

3.  Store in ziploc bags, buttons, thread, needles (like with like) etc. and keep bags in shoe box as a sewing/repair kit.

4.  You can store the smaller bits of your children's toy collection; each lego set, doll accessories, and so forth.

5.  Use shoe boxes to create an art centre. Each box can hold craft supplies; paints, markers, glue, sparkles, scrap paper etc.

6.  You can make holes along the long side of a shoe box and keep ribbon on the inside and feed each ribbon through a hole; easy to access and see.

7.  You can use the top of a shoe box and decoupage it to your liking and hang as wall art. Then use the bottom part as a small art shelf. Paint or decoupage the interior and exterior and hang on wall.

8.  A shoe box is perfect for housing all your nail polish, cotton swabs and remover. A mani/pedi box at your finger tips. Or use the lid upside down and house your supplies so you can see them and access easily.

9.  Shoe boxes are a great size to use to store toiletries in. Use to store your overflow in the linen closet or use them under the sink to store like with like. Makes things easy to find and easy to take out and access.

10.  Make a recharge centre. Store a multi-outlet extension cord inside the box. Make holes along the long side of the box for charging cords to fit through. You can charge phones, ipods, tablets etc without the sight of those messy cords.

I hope this has inspired you to get organized and to not spend a fortune on solutions to do it. We all wear shoes so it is a no brainer to repurpose our boxes.
