25 Days of Giving - Day 6

logo 25 days of giving_picmonkeyed    Reuse Tip - Day 6We all have them, and it’s called a Junk Drawer.  Often though, these drawers don’t really contain “junk” but stuff we need, stuff we reuse, stuff that’s small, stuff that’s just too good to throw away.  The key is always organization.Take for instance this sewing/craft drawer.  It has its pluses.   It’s big, it’s shallow but those things also mean it can get to be a disaster pretty quickly.Big is great but stuff tends to move around in any direction it wants.  Shallow is great too but it also means that most premade drawer organizers won’t fit.  Not to mention, there never seems to be the right combination of those little trays.  Always just a bit big or a bit small.One great and reuse minded solution is to just go through your recycling and trash bin.  What do you have around that can be manipulated easily into a custom holder.  Lots of small trays of varying sizes means everything can have it’s own container.Sometimes it seems we make the choice, new and shiny or just plain old useful.  We’ll take “reuseful” anyday.Drawer 1 Drawer 2
