Tidy Desk DIY.

Sundays are for comfort food and your favourite pastime; reading, planning, watching football, or in my case (for today) a classroom DIY. After a quick run to my local dollar stores (Dollarama and Dollar Tree) I decided to make these adorable boxes to help keep my desk clutter free as much as possible this year. It is so easy to let our desks get covered up by paperwork and random nicknacks. So to those loose paper clips, post-it notes, and whatever other stationery goodies you may find all over the place, we now have a home! A cute home if I do say so myself...

Not only was this DIY super quick and easy, it was very affordable at only $5.50 plus tax. I found the kraft paper boxes at Dollarama for $1 each, in two different sizes, and the cute letter stickers for $1.25 each package (one white, one black) at the Dollar Tree.  I chose to label them with "Clips", "Post-Its" and "Clutter" as the first two are items I use often and have a lot of, while the third I simply found cuter than "Random" or "Stuff", but you could label yours with any words that you find useful or cute! Of course any colour boxes and any styled letters would work too, these just happen to fit my classroom-chic theme!

Do you have a desk-top organizer that works well for you? Mention #mselizabetha or tag me @ms.elizabeth.a on Instagram as I would love to see! If you make your own, please tag me as well! SO excited to place these on my desk tomorrow!

Happy Sunday! XO
