I admit to having a little home organization issue. That is, until I discovered these free ways to organize your home.
They are home organizing ideas, hacks and tips that don’t cost money — in fact, many of them are upcycling things you may have in your recycling bin at this very moment.
They have saved me many times from spending $100-worth of supplies to make my vision of an orderly home a reality.
Isn’t that what we all want?!
25+ Free Ways to Organize Your Home
Store container lids – I adore this idea from Crafty Journal to upcycle cracker boxes into what look like magazine holders for your kitchen container lids.
Tag it – Love, love, love this idea to use bread bag tags for power cord labeling from Home Dzine
Keep earbud cords manageable – Use an old credit card which is the perfect size for wallet or purse to create an earbud holder. Genius!
Storage bag dispenser – All you need is a thumb tack for this one.
Use a hanger for hanging…eye glasses? This is really fun! Hangers can be used for a lot of different things including keeping eye glasses safely stored.
Toilet paper roll cord organizer – This is another ‘duh’ idea! Use empty TP rolls to keep the cord clutter under control.
Trouser hangers repurposed for craft supplies – String ribbon and other supplies on the rods. Genius!
Ring it – Store cards and gift cards can be attached to a ring to keep them all together. I also use the second suggestion over at Cooking at Cafe D which is to keep a sharpie handy and write down on the back of a gift card how much is money is left!
Sting in a bottle – Love this to keep things from getting tangled!
Upcycle wipe boxes – Gibbys Place suggests storing girly products which is pretty smart, but these boxes have unlimited potential!
Paper clip on tape end – Oh my goodness. Do you know how many hours of my life have been spent trying to get the end of the tape loose for use?
Garage ball storage – Scrap wood and some bungee cords will have all the balls off the floor where they are destined to roll around and out the garage door when not noticed.
Brush organizer with magnetic strip – Again, why haven’t I already thought of this? All those barrettes and pins migrating back and forth in the bottom of my drawer with every opening.
Cardboard drawer dividers – Suddenly custom drawers are FREE.
Egg carton drawer dividers – With this idea, you don’t even have to get out a pair of scissors.
Easy ribbon organization – This is one I actually have done for several years now. I used one of my old basket-weave plastic bin and just pull the end of the ribbon through the holes. It works great.
Bracelet storage – This smart idea reminds me a bit of a carnival game – ring toss! Toss the bracelet on the bottle for a little fun!
PVC pipe garage organization – I have a few extra PVC pipes laying around cluttering my garage after a kids activities project…I should put them to good use!
Tension rod under the sink – Hang all the cleaning bottles and free up some cabinet floor space with this smart idea.
Can storage – Cover a soda can box to dispense soup in an elegant way!
Coffee canisters – A little paint will transform these into counter-worthy storage…add a little chalkboard paint or labels and you move into heirloom ideas!
File folder holders – This is complete genius from Shady Tree Diary to use mailing boxes to create whatever paper organizer you need!
Furniture moving slider – I would have never thought of this one…but YES!
Album cover organizers – This is so smart! Use old record sleeves to create a funky and fun organization area. I can’t wait to do this!
Brush storage – Clean out your kitchen first and repurpose a container with some glass beads {which I will find too…somewhere} for this fun brush organizer.
