If you’ve hung around Organized 31 much, you know that almost every craft and organizing project I do starts with a recycled item. I’ll psychoanalyze myself another time and tell you why that is, but let’s just accept that fact that I like to repurpose items. Often I start with an item that I already have, but…
If you’ve hung around Organized 31 much, you know that almost every craft and organizing project I do starts with a recycled item. Often I start with an item that I already have, but I also hit the thrift stores for inspiration. I’ve had several conversations with friends who hesitate to shop at thrift stores because…
I hope you had a wonderful New Year’s. We spent it with all my family at home, including my parents and our dear friends, the R. family, visiting. They’ve traveled to 2 different states and 3 of our homes to spend New Year’s Eve with us. It’s such a fun tradition and we look forward to…
Each time I share my obsession with repurposing my trash into crafts, I become just a bit less embarrassed about it (and it now embarrasses me that I’m not embarrassed any more). I’ve been hoarding laundry scoops for years. I’d build up a big stack while trying to figure out what in the world to do…
If you’ve been around Organized 31 for very long, you know that I lo-ove to use recycled or repurposed items for organizing. Since we’re always moving (and when we’re not moving the threat of a move is always there), I don’t want to invest a lot of money in organizing items that won’t work at…

A quick and easy recycling project using an upcycled cigar box for organizing. Great for desk supplies, jewelry, papers, or collectibles.
I can’t believe that it’s almost time for 4th of July and 4th of July parties! I’ve been on a big upcycled jar kick lately (graduation on the mind). Since the 4th is almost upon us, I’ve got a super quick (we’re talking 3-4 minutes, tops!) and easy patriotic upcycled jar project for you that’s perfect…
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. All opinions are 100% my own. With myself and 2 teen daughters with long hair in our house, you can imagine that organizing hair appliances and accessories is not an easy task. I’ve tried all kinds of solutions, but I think I’ve just found the…
I love repurposed craft and organizing projexts, so this upcycled comic book clementine crate is a win-win. It’s an easy and fun craft project to make with children and only costs pennies to create. Sooo-ooo, I’ve got a friend, Holly. You can find her at Pink Fortitude. She challenged me and a couple of other…
