Project Organization 2011 -- Drawer organization in 15 minutes that won't slide around!!

I am not naturally a very organized person, 



but there have been so many wonderful projects floating around the blogworld lately that have really inspired me to try to get my home a little more orderly.

I’d love to share my latest project with you –

My $6 Makeup Drawer Makeover!!

My makeup drawer is always a mess. I am embarrassed to show you the before picture – it is terrible. Basically all of my makeup, lotions and toothpaste is shoved in a drawer. This drawer definitely needed a makeover!

I found these containers at my local Dollar Tree.

A couple months ago I saw this post from Kusak’s Closet that inspired me to use velcro!

I picked some up at Walmart -- $2.

So I cleaned out my drawer – finally!!

And then I put a few pieces of adhesive-backed velcro on the back of each of the Dollar Store containers.

That way when I slide the drawer in and out, the containers stay in place. Such a good idea!!

 

I divided the containers up according to – tooth care, lotions and creams, foundations and concealers, brushes and makeup applicators.

And I put a couple of stainless steel bowls with velcro on the bottom – one for lip glosses and another for  tweezers and trimmers.

Ahhh. It feels so good!! I showed my husband and he said he has never seen my makeup drawer looking like that in all the time we’ve been married – HA!

This velcro trick would work great in any type of a drawer – from your office, to your kitchen to your craft room!

Happy Organizing!!
