Available in stores wide range various organizers that will be appropriate in any interior, but it is more convenient to make it yourself. This makes it possible not only to save money, but also to make the most suitable option for personal needs.
The main thing is to know how to make an organizer with your own hands and follow all the advice of experts.
Jewelry organizer
Costume jewelry requires a special place for storage, since small parts are quickly lost if handled incorrectly. At the same time, jewelry should be visible to simplify the process of getting ready for the fair sex. Organizers in the form of photo frames or paintings are suitable for storing jewelry.
Basic materials from which you can make an organizer in a home workshop:
- Frame for a photograph or painting;
- Water-soluble paint;
- Varnish for coating;
- Simple pencil;
- Glue;
- Lace fabric or Nice picture for background;
- A piece of rope (tape);
- Ruler;
- Stapler;
- Self-tapping screw.
Stages of work
A ready-made frame can be purchased at an art store or hardware supermarket, but it must be uncoated in order to be able to paint the product in the desired color.
The painting process is carried out first, for which two layers of paint are applied with short breaks (about 1 hour) so that the first layer has time to dry well. A layer of varnish must be applied to the dried paint.
Do not forget that after each stage it is advisable to clean the brush of paint, especially before applying varnish.
A cut is inserted into the frame beautiful fabric, lace or a regular picture that will become the background for the future organizer.
The decorations will be held on by ropes (ribbons) or self-tapping screws. Sections of rope along the length of the frame are located along the product and secured either with a stapler or glue.
You can hammer in 2 small nails on each side and simply pull the rope over them. Large nails, metal hooks and baskets can serve as jewelry holders.
At the last stage, you need to secure the loop with a self-tapping screw in order to hang the picture on the wall. The jewelry organizer is ready!
Making an organizer for wires and office supplies
In addition to decorations, organizers are convenient for storing various little things that can be found in every home. A photo of a homemade organizer for small items can be found on the Internet and used as an example.
It’s easy to make such a product, but you will need the following materials:
- Thick cardboard (can be used from an unnecessary box);
- Glue and double-sided tape;
- Paints or paper for scrapbooking;
- Pencil;
- Ruler;
- Scissors;
- Stapler;
- Stationery knife;
- Textile.
Work on creating an organizer
To begin with, the dimensions of the future organizer are determined. It will consist of several parts, which are arranged depending on personal needs in any convenient way.
5 parts are cut out of cardboard: rectangular for the bottom and 4 as walls. The large part is easily replaced by 2 small ones, which are glued together in the middle.
The main thing is that the structure is firmly secured with tape.
The walls of the organizer are glued to the base with ordinary tape on opposite sides. To do this, the wall is placed on the edge of the base, and the tape captures two parts at once. After this, the other two sides are glued, and the edges between all the walls are secured with tape. If necessary, you need to cut off some of the cardboard at the joints to make it easier to form a “box”.
At the fourth stage, you need to measure the box from both the outer and inner parts, and then transfer the measurements to fabric or scrapbooking paper. Recommended to use different shades for decoration to make the product look more stylish and interesting.
Before gluing the fabric, it must be carefully ironed to facilitate the next stage of work.
In the upper inner part, the fabric is secured with a stapler, and the edge at the bottom with glue. After this, double-sided tape is half-glued to the upper inner edge, which is folded to the outer side. It should be on both sides of the edge.
The fabric parts for the outside of the box are placed on the tape that was glued earlier, with inside along the entire perimeter of the product.
Double-sided tape is glued to the bottom along the entire perimeter of the box, after which fabric is stretched over it to finish the outside. This must be done so that there are no folds or unsightly creases left on the fabric.
The bottom is covered with fabric, after which marks are made to bend it to the size of the box. The excess needs to be folded inward, where the pieces of double-sided tape are placed.
Thus, the bottom of the box is filled and the product takes on its final form. Any errors are glued with glue.
Sometimes the box gets so full small details that large compartments are not suitable for storage. Partitions come to the rescue, which are installed inside, dividing the space into many small cells.
The partitions are made of cardboard, pasted over in the color you like, each of which has cutouts on one side. The cell size depends on the number of cutouts on one partition. After preparatory work they simply slide into each other, creating separate “drawers” for small components.
This is how either one box is made, or several, but at the same time they are connected double-sided tape or stapler into a single product. Organizer sections can be different sizes depending on the imagination of the master.
Using a similar principle, you can make your own organizer at home from cardboard tubes. Suitable materials are tubes made of construction stores or a large cling film base from which several pieces are made. They are pasted over with fabric or paper, the edges are sanded, fastened together with glue, or glued to a chipboard stand that acts as a base.
Photos of DIY organizers
Unfortunately, not everyone understands why a schoolchild needs an office organizer, which is very easy to make with your own hands. Every mother has the feeling that eternal chaos is following her children around. When babies are just beginning to explore the world and explore their surroundings, mothers try to keep their home sterilely clean. But mountains of toys, onesies, baby clothes and baby dishes are everywhere.
Time is running. Children grow up, their hobbies and surroundings change. Short pants and fairy tales about Kolobok are being replaced by comics and Harry Potter. Only the chaos remains the same. Only now, instead of tumblers and rattles, parents come across magazines and coloring books everywhere.
School years are coming. It would seem that the child has grown up and the long-awaited cleanliness will finally come to the house. Every thing will always be in its place. But no. Rulers, erasers, simple and colored pencils, buttons, paper clips, pens and rods appear here and there on the horizon, bringing with them annoying problems in the form of leaked paste and indelible marker marks.
It’s time to feel sad and stop fighting the natural disaster, hoping that the chaos will go away along with the years of study. But creative mothers are not used to giving up. To help their favorite schoolchildren and to organize their study space, they can make a storage unit for the office with their own hands.
Types of organizers
First, let's figure out what types of organizers there are. functional purpose and what available materials can be used to make them.
Depending on what kind of office supplies need to be stored, there are simple and combined boxes. In the simple ones there is one certain type supplies - paper clips, pencils, notebooks or writing paper. Combined ones combine the capabilities of several simple boxes at once. Several types of tools can be there at the same time: for example, pens, notepads and buttons.

The first idea. The lightest, simple organizer for writing instruments and scissors can easily be made from toilet paper rolls. Even a first-grader can cope with this task.
To work, you will need several cardboard sleeves, a sheet of cardboard, decorating paper, scissors and glue. Let's get to work.
We cut the bushings to different heights. This is how our product will look multi-level. We cover the blanks with multi-colored paper. They can also be decorated with fabric, beads, rhinestones, stripes, braid, and ribbons. Listen to your imagination.

Idea three. Housewives in every home have different empty container from under cereals, small-sized household appliances, shoes. This material can be used as a base for making a colorful stationery box. The organizer from the box can be made together with the child, which will allow the child to feel like an adult and important.
You will need any empty box, cardboard rolls for toilet paper or paper towels, old wallpaper or bright paper for decoration, scissors, a simple pencil, and glue.
First, we will make a partition from the lid of the box in the future organizer. Secure it with glue and let it dry well. Then we decorate the box with wallpaper or any bright paper. You can use unusual packaging for gifts.
We cut cardboard towel tubes in half and also paste them with colorful pictures. We install the finished glasses inside the box and secure it there.
