Organizing with Dollar Store Items-office


Well I have done it again I have entered into a Contest this time for Dollar Store. Oh yes I do love the challenges. Well any hoo this contest was to Organize with Dollar Store Stuff and I do say I had fun.

So here is a before picture

And here is the After picture

So neat and pretty now...Here is what I did
So behind the Monitor is Cork Board, they didn't have the big pieces that I wanted, so I had to look elsewhere for it.  I did find some really neat thumb tacks at the $store and then I just pinned up all the cords. The cords that I didn't need is hidden behind the printer.
The printer is sitting on a 3 drawer unit and inside I found some baskets from the $tree that slide perfect inside of it to organize all the writing utensils..picture is seen below.

Now the Glass Jar seen below are actually sugar bowls that I thought were neat maybe I get brave enough to do a marble color on them, hmmm yea that will be the day for that.


This next item I think has turned into an obsession of some sort...the boxes which by the way are cereal boxes these are sitting on the desk and binders which are on top of the desk....

You Guessed it Wrapped in Duct Tape...

Really easy just cut the boxes you want and then start wrapping the tape around it.  All three of my cereal boxes took one roll of duct tape. 

The Same steps follows for the binders as well. For the binders though you will need the following
1/2 in to 1 in-1 roll
2in-2 rolls
3in-3 rolls

Here is a closer shot of these items. You can then take a different color and bind the edges if you want. I think they turned out pretty neat.


To finish the desk top off I found little notebooks which I can take notes in and also a index card box which is great to hold passwords and if you are couponer like me..You really need one. Also a little square container which can hold misc. items in.
The calculator is Velcro dots which of course along with the duct tape, little notebooks, jars, cereal boxes all can be found at the $store

Have fun organizing your office.
