As I was growing up (in the 60's) my mom always used bottoms of sturdy boxes for storage containers. She still has one by her chair holding her recipe cards (old ones from the 50's thru 70's)
Wow!
Thanks for sharing.
See, that's what I like.
Old things passed down from the decades that are practical and made to last.
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity! We don't have as many plastic bags here in Canada since they're banned, but just thought that an empty tissue box would also work as a plastic bag dispenser.
That's what I use. One in car, one in house and extra one to donate to thrift store or apartment community center. Good on places that eliminated them, but the only ones I throw away are ripped ones. 😂
On the paper bag baskets, it is stronger if you just do 2 opposite corners. They’re also super great for organising the veg in your fridge because they can change shape a little to accommodate very not rectangular shapes most produce is, and it can help them not go mouldy by not keeping the moisture in
The sponge holder is genius
Great ideas! I have used tissue boxes for plastic container lids, feminine pads, nail polish and accessories. I use the cube tissue boxes for my spare eyeglasses, pens, emery boards, flashlight etc. Next to my bed, I use a pretty gift bag as a trash bag. Also, empty oatmeal containers with empty bread bags as liners make handy trash cans. When my boys were in diapers I used an oatmeal container to hold the bag open and placed the used diapers inside pulled out the bag, tied them up, no mess, no smell.
I LOVE THE OPEN CARDBOARD STORAGE BOX!!! I’m totally going to do that to reorganize my pantry! I did swoon over the clear organizing bins but I don’t got that kinda ca$h, but those are so cute and easy to label! Thank you!🎉
Great vid - these are actually hacks (i.e. you hacked something up and made something new.) This is the kind of creative thinking that we need right now. Thank you!
These are great! I only have one caveat. As someone who knows a lot about pest control, roaches are attracted to cardboard. So if someone already has an infestation they do not want to keep boxes in the house. Particularly the shipping boxes as they use a glue that roaches love to eat.
Oh my goodness
I was thinking the same thing
These ideas are fantastic. HOWEVER
I LOVE SEE THROUGH CONTAINERS
Eew, I feel so bad for anyone strugli with pest issues. So stressful and so so gross
Wonderful video, great ideas. I love it. I want to make the cereal box dividers but I am going to cover the edges with some thick tape from dollar store because I always get bad paper cuts from the edges of cardboard so I want to protect my hands. Plus I think you can pick out nice colors of duct tape to make it look pretty. Thanks for the ideas!! ❤
Thank you for the time and effort you put into these ideas. It is SO appreciated for those of us who live in strict budgets 💜
Thanks for the no cost organizing hacks! My cabinets and spices have green tops everywhere. Mayo lids work well too.
Good ideas! Maybe I'm the only one, but I haven't seen a clothespin in decades. 😂😂😂 Thanks Kallie! ❤❤
We use them to clip cereal, chip, bread, crackers & whatever bags closed.
I’ve loads of them and our kids friends have asked what they are! 😂😂😂 Our kids are in their mid 20’s and some still ask!
I use them for food bags, to hold grocery bags on trashcan top, and to hold seed packet closed. Dollar tree sells them.
I think with the 1st one, you might be able to also spray paint the bag if you had any on hand, if you wanted to. Just a thought 😊 love your ideas Kallie!
Fantastic video from start to finish!! Thank you.
Ma'am, I don't normally follow any organization channels. I love yours!. Thank you!
I love these! I've gone years using old boxes from the grocery store or my online shopping to store kitchen stuff, because the shared flats always had just a few huge kitchen cabinets
Shoe boxes are awesome containers. They're usually sturdy, & not as horribly colored as cereals. I've kept medications, cables, summer scarves...
Cereal box cut on 2 sides only (like a paper holder thingy)are awesome for stacking tops rolled like a burrito. You can see the colors, take one out. I used that for years before I found the right size small drawers.
Phone boxes are awesome shallow drawer dividers, think office or junk drawer.
Jars are awesome for a lot of grains.
Chocolate boxes are awesome for jewellery...
As long as a container helps you in your life, use it. The moment it's not used anymore, recycle if needed, give away if it's something that can be reused (think a pretty metallic box of cookies).
I made the box for plastic bags and it has been amazing!
I love your ideas I'm going to incorporate them I'm probably going to just put some sticky wall paper or sticky paper to hide the cereal boxes ,I'm new to your channel love from Canada 🇨🇦❤
Love this video. Please more of that content
What ingenious storage hacks! I love these ideas instead of using store bought containers. Another valuable video💚♥❣
Love these box ideas! Thanks loads ❤
Hi Kallie, great idea, very creative.
Thanks! Im about to star reorganizing a deep cleaning my home office/craft space. Lots of good ideas here
Thank you for showing a creative way to stay organized on a budget. Good job.
I'm so glad you shared this w us! So many of us, including myself, have been brainwashed to believe that having something thts expensive or told that something is better that looks a certain way whn if it's all about being organized it really shouldn't matter, especially if we're only ones thts seeing it mostly 😂 and if we have friends/family complain about how it looks cheap thn they can leave or go and buy the exspensive stuff for me 🤷♀️🤪😁🤣😂
We just reclaimed an entire cupboard using the plastic bag storage hack from this video. Thank you so much for sharing your tips.
Sponge holder...brilliant ❤
Awesome, I loved all your creative suggestions regards Helen
Kallie, your hair looks so pretty, today!! :)
Thanks for sharing these great ideas. I've done this sort of thing for years but learned a few new tricks that I'm going to use because of how clearly and simply you presented these tips. Thanks!
I think some of these were great. I liked the labels for the tops of spices. Many of the other things were extra work to do and use.
The way you fold your socks is more time-consuming for both. Years ago I worked for a maid service that taught me to just put one sock inside the other it doesn't stretch the other sock it doesn't take much time, and the socks stay in pairs. The tiny hole from the baby wipe container would make me frustrated very quickly. I also don't know why is want to decant my salt. If you want it to look "pretty " you could wrap it in pretty paper.
I can't imagine having the job of trying to find new content to post. I applaud your success.
One thing I learned from an organizer(I don't remember who) is to use long trays in the fridge. They help you reach things in the back more easily and if you have a sticky bottle that someone put back in the fridge it's easy to just clean the one container than try to pull out a bunch of bottles to clean the shelf. I save a lot of space in the fridge by using them . I also keep my fridge more organized that way. I have a wide container that is my cheese "drawer" and another that holds cooked or processed meats.
I also like to store my produce in the door of the fridge, so I'm reminded to use it.
Word of caution about cardboard. Doesnt hold up well to moisture and also draws bugs. But this is a great temporary solution to mock up an arrangement of sorters etc, see if it works for you, play with the configuration. If you like something you made from recyclables, then it may be fine, or upgrade with more decoratvie when you get a chance. Reusing containers is a great idea! I cut the top off some 2L and single serve soda bottles and made a set of funnels. You can even melt a quarter inch hole in one of the lids to those bottles and have a spice funnel. I save nutella and mayonnaise jars, coffee cans, peanut butter jars, glass jars from pasta sauce, bottles from liquid coffee creamer, quart size yogurt containers for tupperware. I decanted all my spices into upcycled parm shakers, i have a set of ten including blends of things i always use together like homeade taco seasoning, and a very versatile combo of onion p\garlic p\celery seed. They fit in a drawer with a bunch of other stuff. I really really simplified my spices, i know what i reach for all the time and use condiments and aromatics to extend ,y spice arsenal.
When you do start investing keep it simple. Simple shapes, 2 or 3 sizes, same or similar containers that mix and match for different purposes and can be moved around the house. One of my fav containers is the humble dishpan and or litter box tray. They can be placed in lower cabinets or on any shelf to make "drawers" so your stuff doesnt get lost in the back. They can also be used to sort toys and kids stuff, bathroom stuff, pantry items, office supplies and art supplies.
This was different and many new ideas, thanks!
I was in Sicily once and saw a town called Branciforte! :) Great video and tips as ever. Thank you :)
I love these ideas! ❤
I love love love this! There is no need to buy matching plastic containers or baskets. I like minimalist paik who is an Asian poster and has more ideas like this. Sustainable and clever. Well done!!!
The box hacks!! It's like, how did I not think of that?! I recently saw the salt trick and cheese lid mason jar hacks on another channel, but those, too 🤦♀! Thanks for the ideas!
5 Star Video!
Love the shirt folding hack!!
Yes! I've glued or taped tgthr tea boxes. Always a good size it seems. I also love the little plastic boxes mushrooms come in and save my free canning jars that spaghetti sauce comes in. I hardly buy any non-food items. By using a lentil-sized amount of toothpaste, adding a handful of water as I shampoo my hair and filling laundry soap only to the line, products last practically forever. BTW, the line on the laundry soap cup is only about 1/8 of the amount that wd fill the cup!
Great ideas I haven't seen before. Certainly eco friendly.
Love the "command" pegs idea!
Thank you so much for this video. I upcycle when I can. Your tips were really helpful.
Great ideas! I had seen the one about folding in the boxes rather than using the tabs to close them in another place. Well-BOOM! Gamechanger! But comment, when you are cutting your boxes, do you not want to cut on top of a sturdy OTHER box or something so you don't cut up your rug??
Omg this was awesome, thank you
On socks, someone (marie kondo?) said any kind of balling or folding puts extra strain on the elastic. I buy expensive socks with the hopes of having them many many years. I file fold the socks and arrange vertically. I love being able to choose exactly the ones I want and not make a mess in the drawer. Long ones I fold the heel part to the calf part and either roll up or fold a few times.
So many good ideas! Just be aware if you're in a high humidity area that silverfish love cardboard 😖
Love the plastic bag storage idea!
So interesting !
Some of your tricks are some cute!
My pantry is full of refilled mason jars! My intent had been to use those until I could afford better! Although I now have some of the others, I still use my jars for a lot of them! And my spices are all in small glass jars that didn’t cost me anything! As I would empty a glass spice jar, I would wash it, get the label off of it, and then refill it with another spice. I now have all my spices in these free containers (I buy in bulk-big jars or bags)!
thank you
Thank you for the great ideas!
Stop it. This is amazing!
Thank you for this.
I like your personality, especially when you said "a lter thing."
Lol!
I probably would have said the same thing without a second thought. 😅 And it's o.k.!!
I was reminded of the title of your as U was sipping my coffee!!
😂
I am wondering if it is wise to "decant" detergent pods into an easily opened container like that. They come in childproof containers for a reason. They can be deadly if ingested. They look just like a gummy treat to a child. Please be careful with them. Your little ones are worth the inconvenience of the childproofing.
I’m sure that house has cabinet locks!
@@Sorchia56 I'd like to think so but I work for a cleaning chemicals company and I'm always flabbergasted when I hear some of the stories.
For those without small children it isn’t an issue.
So...what happen to teaching our kids that they play or touch things? I don't understand...no means no from early on and you put your detergent up on the laundry shelf...I don't understand how we got to a point where we just keep kids wrapped in cotton...just say no and then when that is violated...there is a negative consequence.
I’m sure her house is childproof ! She is just showing her ideals! You see a few minutes of her day it’s a new year …. Let’s not judge amazing people ! She’s very intelligent and an awesome Mother! Positive vibes ONLY ❤
Some things that already come in boxes like storage bags can remain in their original box. Not making a box when they're already in a box.
I use empty kleenex boxes to store extra bags in each of my bathrooms and near the kitty litter, then I can just grab 1 to line the trash can.
Thanks for the great ideas!! I have too many Amazon boxes around, including 2 that still haven't been opened and are now lost in the house. I guess those will be gifts for next Christmas 😅
Fantastic ❤
"Decant" means "to pour (a liquid) from one container into another." "Bottle" means "to put something into bottles or jars."
I am kind to myself it's others I have a problem with 😂 if people think a box or whatever it is is dull/boring just use paint or fancy paper on it to touch it up. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box. Lol sorry.
❤
Every time when I watch home organizing or cleaning video s,I started to wonder how much these people paid for their beautiful, cohesive looking containers. They are not cheap. Not only the cost makes me concern, but also the material of storage containers. Surely they are very pleasing to our eyes. But most bins, trays are made of plastic. Once they are damaged, you can’t recycle them. I want an organized home but not by bringing more land fills one day.
The old video of Miles 🥺🥺🥺
I have Real Food for Pregnancy too! Lol
Yeah awesome idea but NOT with children with the detergent pods, candy with a surprise snap top yay for children and OMG for poison , i like the rest ty for the free bits!
🧡🧡🧡
I have one- don’t throw away those plastic zippered bags that sheets and comforters come in. The smaller ones are great to use to store makeup or as a travel toiletry kits, the big comforter ones can be used to store basically anything from toys to seasonal storage like wreaths! They’re waterproof and many of them have handles so they’re sturdy, useful bags!
I do the same! Great for travel and small storage. Used some this year to separate each grand child's Christmas stocking contents when packing to fly. That way TSA could see the contents.
I also use them when we go away on a snorkling trip to tote wet towels/swimsuits OR it's just a good waterproof bag inside of my tote to keep wallet, phone, etc things dry.
Yes!!
I use the small ones for small appliances.
I used my sheet bag to store pens and colored pencils
You are so creative! Thank you for the hacks! ❣️
Ive used my lysol wipes containers for shopping bag dispensers. A small one is handy in the car for a back up if ive forgotten my reusable bags for aldi as well as for trash bags. Putting one next to my small trash containers in the bathroom and next to my craft table works well too. Loved all your ideas!😊
I just emptied one today. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@CindiTrunkDeseretAcademy youre more than welcome🙂
Same here. I also use old milk cartons and jars to store old oil and grease.
Please, do more real budget-friendly content 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 This was a blessing!!!
I agree! In these times of crazy grocery prices, we can't afford to spend extra money, even at a dollar store. I love the satisfaction of turning recycling into something functional.
Agreed! DT is great but even those items add up quickly. And I definitely can’t use another Amazon shopping list that everyone seems to be doing. There are plenty of variations of upcycling plastic and cardboard storage, organization, and even decorative containers- it’s great to see what actually works for someone in real life! ❤
Kallie, this is my absolute fav organizing hack video EVER!!! I started my day watching a video of how to keep your house neat on a budget and it was so excruciating unrealistic. We all tend to think we need expensive stuff to organize, and voila, all you need is creativity 😊 Thanks for that!!!❤
Thank you so much for this video! With times being so hard right now on so many people this video really helps people that still want to be organized but can't really afford expensive organization products!! ❤❤
These are great. I've reused boxes before, but I always cover them in contact paper to make them pretty. For smaller boxes, I sometimes use gift wrap and packing tape. I've made some cute stuff, lol 😂 Take that, Container Store!
Yeah, I use clothes pins alot. ALSO - sometimes I will buy a grocery store item that is in the size glass container I need (especially large) and once the product is used up, clean the container and repurpose it.
I use clothespins to keep winter gloves together.
I've used cardboard and shoe boxes for organizing drawers before, they work great!
I also have used shoe boxes, etc for a long time to organize dresser drawers.
Yep, me too. 👍
Love this, love making things out of things. Great for no spend 24
I use Velveeta boxes. There really durable card board
I could want 80 hours of this type of video while doing 0% of them (because I just know myself...no more fantasy self around crafty things.) They are like visual ASMR for granddaughters of depression era grandmas! :)
LMFAO same 😹😹😭
It's been a while since I've seen a zero dollar organizing video like this... Thanks!
This was one of your most fun videos. As a mom of 26 and 28-year-olds, I don’t need as much storage, but when they were younger, I used practically every idea that you demonstrated, except for the sponge holder. I also cover myboxes with Contact paper. I covered an Amazon box and I keep it in my car to hold all of my shopping bags. It fits right behind my driver seat and everything is neat and tidy.
Kallie, wow. You had me at "totally free", it's seriously one of my favourite videos of yours. I just watched someone's video where they told us to spend like $75 on clear plastic organizer bins from the dollar store, and then buy labels for them. Plus, yours had so many original ideas: my empty shampoo bottle is now my kitchen sponge holder.
I just rolled up socks the old way. I can't wait to try your new way. So neater! 😊
Brilliant ideas! Thank you so much!
I would caution everyone to seal the edges of corrugated cardboard boxes with duck tape before you use them. Unfortunately, roaches often like to lay their eggs between the layers while they're stored in the factory, and you might be bringing pests into the house if you keep a lot of those cardboard boxes.
Gross!🎉😅😢
Panty moths will also come into a home in cardboard boxes .
Damn, thank you for the info!
If there were multiple like buttons I would click them all! Great ideas. I think ths is especially useful when just starting out. Because when you declutter, you may find you do not need as many or you need different sizes of containers. Organizing videos that show using Container Store products are unrealistic for most of us.
I can see this being helpful if you're just starting out, but wait until you've collected several decades worth of stuff. I can't wait to use her ideas to get my stuff organized.
love this. these were all great ideas! i don't get to keep my amazon or other shipping boxes though lol..we have a several special needs felines (love my babies) so as soon as the box comes in, before it's even empty, it's claimed 😂
My favorite was the plastic bag dispenser. You made it look easy, quick, and doable. Most of the videos I've seen show them being straightened out and folded just so. I know me well enough to know that I am not going to fold and smooth 50 bags, lol. I love these types of videos, thank you!
Great ideas! Always happy to save money especially with our current high inflation
The military sock roll. 30 plus years ago I would watch my husband pack his sea bags for deployment, and they were taught the most compact way to fold everything. Not only for deploying, but also for inspections during boot camp. I learned so much from watching his military hacks. As a kid and teen the cardboard boxes were my favorite for doing my bedroom. My mom always had lleftover wallpaper on the rolls hanging around, so I would cover them with the wallpaper, so they would look nice. Definitely some great organizing ideas on a tight budget.
BRILLIANT ❤! Thank you for these. I’m sick of spending money on this container or that container to organise! These are so easy.
For the paper basket- you can even reinforce that by gluing cardboard to the bottom of it and then putting twine all the way around it or spray painting it just so it looks cohesive and then twine half of the bag.
*IF* you want to keep the no cost theme and you already have the stuff on hand.
Use what you got.
It'll be more sturdier.
I'm a missionary and you just helped me so much!!! I want a cute space but don't have the $$ to buy things but this video 🔥 I looked at this more than 3 times. Thank you
You're brilliant! I liked this video as much for a way to keep boxes and bottles out of the recycling as I did for the organizational part. I am always wishing I knew more ways to use things up instead of tossing them out.
I think it is interesting, your Left Handed, but you use a Box cutter with your right hand?? ❤
I always hated rolling up my socks, it always felt like they took up so much space.
What I started doing was simply laying out each pair, and then folding over once and storing them that way. It just works so much better for me.
People with small children should NEVER decant detergent pods. And to put them in a container that looks the same as a child’s container of toys just does not make sense to me…
I have saved kleenex boxes because of pretty designs. I tried the sock folding during coffee break but instead of tucking the sock in at the end i am going to keep them loose❤ but it is definitely saving room!! I made the paper bag storage and placed some boxes of tea in it. ❤ when i come across some clothespins i am definitely going to post a recipe i need to make. ❤
A couple of years ago I started rolling socks and storing them vertically in the drawer (a la Marie Kondo). I bought a honeycomb drawer organizer (dang) like the one Kallie makes here out of cardboard for free. I can see all my socks at a glance now. It's a great method.
Great ideas!!
Just need to grab my amazon boxes before i break them down right away, just like you have taught me!!!😅
Love the hacks with the boxes. We all have those Amazon boxes that seem to procreate LOL
