Organizing Creatively with an Ordinary Shoebag
One of my favorite organizing containers is an over-the-door style shoe-bag with clear pockets. They’re inexpensive and fit virtually anywhere where there is a wall or a door.
Here are a few more ways a shoebag can FUNction.
- Not just for shoes. Also great for socks! Easy to see and easy for grab. Great for children learning to put on their own shoes and socks. Awesome for pantyhose.
- Bathroom toiletries. Not enough room in your bathroom for all the stuff? Use the shoe bag for shampoos, soaps, lotions, often used medicines, Band-Aids, Kleenex, bath toys (dried off already), wash cloths.
- Girls to teen’s bathroom – Use each pocket for hair bows, ribbons, & barrettes, blow dryer, hair gels, sparkly stuff, make-up, hair brushes, etc.
- Laundry / utility room – That stuff that always falls off the shelf fits great in pockets. Also great for things you find in the laundry like money & buttons. Put in your stain sticks, dryer sheets, scrapers, glues, tapes, goo-gone, goof-off, rubber gloves, scrubbers, box cutters, scissors, etc.
- Craft room/closet – If you don’t have tons and tons of it, this will work great. Use it for glues & stuff you glue on like pom-poms, feathers, tape, hot glue gun & glue sticks, staple gun, paint brushes, fabric paints, paint pens, exacto knives, etc.
- Hall Closet – If your hats, gloves and scarves are always getting lost or live in pockets or the floor – try using a shoe bag! Each person in the family gets their own row to store these often-used items.
- Electronic Gadgets – Keep track of cd players, mp3 players, digital camera, binoculars, gameboy, cords & chargers in a clear pocket shoebag. Each gets it’s own pocket and won’t get tangled up with the others. Grab what you need and go.
- Junk drawer on the door – If you don’t have an extra drawer for the items you need in and around the kitchen, try a clear pocket shoebag. Designate pockets for: Batteries, stamps, rubber bands, tools, tape, pens/pencils, note pads and coins, and hang it on a nearby door.
