Organize with Reused Boxes

My blogging friend, Mare Ball, over at Adventures in the Ballpark posted about reusing plastic veggie trays to organize her kitchen drawers (post: Veggie Tray Do Over). I left a comment telling her that I use cardboard snack boxes in mine. She wanted to see pictures, so I thought I'd do a post.

Reused Boxes Organize Junk Drawers

Problems with junk drawers:
*Stuff slides around
*Drawer gets too full to close
*You can get cut from sharp objects (you never know what is hiding in there).

Solution:
Cut the tops off snack food boxes and reinforced corners with duct tape. Then arrange them in the drawer and taped each box together to keep them from sliding. Then, organized the junk into sections.  


Reused Boxes Organize Cabinets

Here is my baking cabinet and my medicine cabinet. All I have to do is pull out the box to find what I need. If you want to get even more organized, label the boxes. To make them pretty, cover with wrapping paper or shelving paper.

Here are some of boxes I used:
child shoe boxes
cupcake boxes
powdered milk boxes

And don't forget, Mare Ball suggests using veggie trays to organize.
