When we start school, everything is perfectly organized but then when we are almost at the end of a semester everything is a mess!

I start my year with a pretty organized pencil case and then by the end there are highlighter stains on it… most pens are missing… I lose things and can’t find them… I get in trouble at school for losing copies and what not!

This happened to me A LOT in my 7th grade but I learnt some things on my high school journey!
So here are some cute easy-to-make DIYs…

Just click each the link to check out the full DIY 🙂

1) Drawer Dividers

To keep things separate in categories… this is your friend 🙂
All you need is cardboard for this and it literally takes minutes to make it! You can even decorate and glue the dividers with some pretty paper or tape.
 
2) Faux Storage Books

These books look SO cute on a shelf. It does the 2in1 job: Its a decorative piece for your bedroom AND it stores things! How cool is that!
This is made out of cardboard too so you don’t need any fancy materials except decorative paper. But they are really inexpensive.
 
3) Cardboard Drawers

You can build a small drawer and put it on your dressing table to store things like bobby pins… brushes… hair bands etc 
OR you can store stationary items and put it on your study table.
 
4) Drawer Cart Up-do

If you have a drawer cart like this and you want it prettify (its actually a real word) it then all you need it glue and decorative paper!!
 
5) Key Holder

During my high school years I have lost countless keys literally and I hated it!! 
Then I made this thing with a photo frame and decorative pieces and some hooks. 
You can print a quote and stick it on with glue. It did make a difference to be honest.
Instead of the faux roses, you can use ribbons and bows or anything you want
I am sorry I don’t have a full DIY link but I hoep you’ll get the basic idea from the picture above!!

Here’s another option for making a key holder above.
 
6) School make-up clutch / Pencil Case

This cute and small clutch is perfect if you don’t have a lot of space in your bag and you still want to carry a little make-up.
In my high school, when the bell rang for lunch all the girls would run to the bathroom to blot their make up. 
Some girls would even use their lipsticks to write on the toilet doors!! It was terrible!!
 
7) Organize Hair Scrunchies

Don’t you just hate it when you lose them during emergency bad-hair days.
Well you can make it small enough to fit it in your bag or the clutch shown above. It looks really chic and cute and it is SO inexpensive.
Choose you own ribbons or you can even personalize it

8) Cute Pen Holder

The picture above shows forks stored in the can because it is supposed to be for birthday parties BUT you can use the same thing to store pens!! Who said you can’t be creative with it!!
You can put it in your locker for those days when you lose all your pens which happened a LOT with me!!
Or you can put it on your study table and store your stationary.
