Get Organized Using Everyday Items

Real Simple online recently did an article on how to get organized using everyday items. They listed 21 different ways, but posted my top 5 favorites. Hope you find them as useful and creative as I did.
1.Earrings as pushpins
Face it: That long-lost earring is probably gallivanting with a wayward sock in Ye Olde Land of Misplaced Items. (What a stud!) Let its lonely, abandoned mate rebound as a pretty thumbtack on a bulletin board.








2.Tissue Box as Grocery Bag Holder
Storing plastic grocery bags under the kitchen sink. After An Affair to Remember has exhausted your supply of tissues, stuff the bags into the empty box.





3.Coat Rack as Jewelry Holder
Storing your best-loved (and most frequently worn) necklaces and bracelets within easy reach.








4.Tall Vase as Toilet Paper Container
Helping toilet paper hide in plain sight. Guests don't have to root around for a new roll in your not absolutely, positively tidy vanity, and you always know when you're running low.







5.Toilet Paper Roll as Cord Holder
Tangle-free power wherever you need it. Coil the cord into a hank about 1 1/2 inches thick, then slide it through the tube for a neat package that won't come unwound.
