Thank you to those whom have already been reading my blogs.
I have some more information on how you can organize on a budget and how to create D.I.Y organizers.
Just need:
- Recycled tins, boxes, jars or use the plastic containers you get from your local takeaway.
Make sure they are washed out first and sterilised.
- Sellotape, glue and scissors.
- Measuring tape.
- Embellishments, Ribbon or pretty labels or even use tags you see attached on new purchased clothing and just cover with decorated paper.
Recycling your tins and jars is great for making storage for example your pens, paper clips and drawing pins.
Use a wine rack as a place to put your hair straighteners and hair dryers. Use a spices rack as a place for your nail varnish and other cosmetics. Sounds mad but it is true, remember use what you have, then you this reduces the amount you spend and it is amazing what storage is available out there that you can buy on such a low cost.
Please watch these videos below of D.I.Y organizing projects for ideas:

This how I organize my supplies I need on my computer desk and the box you see at the far end with the glues just below where you see the speaker, that is the D.I.Y organizer I made. I am now using this in my filing cabinet to keep spare file binders, labels and scrap crafting paper.
Today I was sorting out my Sewing draw, and used the little bags that I had, these are ones that I have kept from spare buttons attached to clothes I've bought over the years, and these little bags are very handy for storing for example: jewellery, your spare buttons, screws, safety pins and drawing pins.
I will show you my test of draws which I have organized using recyclable boxes.
This will be changed shortly and so I will show the updated version soon.
Now I haven't decorated the boxes as of yet as I am still not sure if I will continue to use them, but this is a temporary solution at the moment, and this is keeping with my advise on my very first blog, use what you have and don't spend the earth. Today I bought 5 new storage containers for the kitchen from the pound shop and they worked fine, so you save aswell as keep organized, and update your storage as they like most items they will wear after time, and do dust them to keep them looking neat and tidy.

The storage baskets I am going to show you below are ones I purchased from Wilkinsons which was 5 for £2.00 and will be buying more, and they have really helped me to organize my bedside table draws.
In the picture above showing the top of my chest of draws, the brown box you see on the left of the picture at the front I have changed this, to one of the red baskets and I will show you an updated picture of my Chest of draws soon, as I am going to update and give my bedroom a complete make over, as it just needs to be brightened up a bit more.

I use two bags for storage too, one is on the back of my bathroom door and really pretty from Paperchase that has all travel toiletries as they are handy to keep for holidays and overnight stays at friends and family houses.
The other bag is hanging on the hook of the back of my bedroom door, and has all my belts, hats and scarfs and is see-through so can see what it is in side.
See pictures below:
They aren't great photos so do apologise for that but just gives an idea of what you can use to stock spares but not clutter up spaces.
So I really hope this has given you some great ideas of organize for less cost, and thank you for ready.
