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
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
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! ❤
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 😹😹😭
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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!!!❤
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.
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. 👍
I use Velveeta boxes. There really durable card board
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.
It's been a while since I've seen a zero dollar organizing video like this... Thanks!
Love this, love making things out of things. Great for no spend 24
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!
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 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.
Kallie! I LOVE that you’re using literal trash. This is my favorite. Poland springs 2.5 gallon (w the spout) are great for high shelf storage. Turn the spout side upright and cut that whole end off and now you have a sturdy open bin with a handle.
Also that box you made for books is great. You can ask the produce people at Trader Joe’s for boxes, particularly the single pepper boxes If you like that size.
PS I do that same thing with tea boxes😂❤
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.
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.
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.
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!! ❤❤
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.
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!
Thanks. Also the foil and saran wrap boxes are great organizers. Work well for taper candles. Kleenex boxes can be good sorters and dividers. Just fold tops over after cutting at an angle to each corners, staple for increased stability. Old Calendar pages make great covers for decorating boxes and as shelf liners. The list is endless. The smaller boxes as in your videos work great for pill bottles etc. My sweet creative mom would do this all of the time. Cereal boxes for magazines and other booklets. She also poked holes in tops of oatmeal containers to hold all of her paintbrushes. I use plain sides of old business cards for labels and the stiffer ads on card stock as well. Colored envelopes make great crafting paper for making flowers. If you buy any premade cakes , from grocery top rectangular portions turned upside down are really nice for storing bathroom items that may leak. Bottoms are great to set indoor plants on. Mushroom containers are also good for drawers. Sorry, I kind of got carried away. Think outside of the box. 😊. Recycle repurpose reuse.
I just rolled up socks the old way. I can't wait to try your new way. So neater! 😊
The sponge holder is genius
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. 😂
These are all great. -my grandma was always taking boxes and covering them with scrapes of material to make them pretty. She was always saying oh that box would make … I still have one. The best would be if you had a lid. I find myself thinking the same way -that box could be used as… thanks again - keep sharing
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’m so loving all your videos! You have so many useful ideas. Here’s another way to store/use baggies: just open one end of the box and tear off all the tabs - or just fold the tabs inward for a stronger edge. Then you can store the box full of baggies standing up on the one end and pull out what you need from the top.
I do something similar for plastic bag storage. I used an empty tissue box - the rectangular shape - and used the same technique to loop the plastic bags together. There's no creating a box since it already has the right size opening, and most are already decorative so they look nice without a craft project at all. Since I use these for small garbage bags, I do a quick look at each bag against a light source to check for holes before putting them in my container to avoid a mess in the bottom of my small garbage can. I think there are at least 25 bags in mine. Note: the bags with small holes are in another container to be used in my paper shredder or other "dry" wastebaskets to make disposal for that mess much easier.
I do this, and use clothes pins to hold bag at top of trashcan so it doesn't slip down. Sometimes I use a holey bag inside a good one to make it sturdier. 😊
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!! ❤
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.
In my first apartment i used empty food boxes to create risers for my spices stored in a cabinet. My pantry has wire shelves, so i still have a few shelves lines with cardboard to make it easier to place cans, etc on those open shelves.
I love these! I learned a while ago a cool way to fold my socks: you line them up the way she does, fold them in half twice, then turn the open end of the outside sock over the rest of the bundle. They turn into little squares that you can stack! It's also super satisfying 😁
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!🎉
What I love about these homemade boxes is you can make the sizes you need and you’re not hunting down what you need from store to store.
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! Always happy to save money especially with our current high inflation
BRILLIANT ❤! Thank you for these. I’m sick of spending money on this container or that container to organise! These are so easy.
SHUT THE FRONT THE DOOR!!! BRILLIANCE!
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.
The Annies box hack is genius!!! And I like the sock roll hack as well. Thanks for all of these tricks. ❤
First time I ever clicked like before I even saw a video because YES I want to do THAT😀😀😀😀
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 😂
Great ideas!!
Just need to grab my amazon boxes before i break them down right away, just like you have taught me!!!😅
Thanks for the no cost organizing hacks! My cabinets and spices have green tops everywhere. Mayo lids work well too.
The delivery boxes into bin is wonderful
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 🇨🇦❤
I do the cereal box organizers, I have made so many neat space savers this way, I cover them with old wall papers or sticky paper. great for desks too.
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!
Those are some of the best $saving tips EVER!
The sock folding method is one that my dad used in the military!
Such great tips! I can hardly wait to try the box top folding instead of trying to use the tabs and have them tear! ❤
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!
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!
I've been doing this for years - never thought to use the wipes lids! Also, there's a tea bag brand that has a really pretty design inside, I like turning them inside out for sorting small items.
You, as always, are a genius. Thanks for all you do!💜😊
Such clever ideas! Thank you!
Love this! If u know how to crochet, u can make a plastic bag dispenser and hang it up. Even baskets of all sizes too ❤
It would probably be cheaper to get a bag dispenser from the thrift store vs buying yarn.
Love these box ideas! Thanks loads ❤
I never get tired of your content! You are real, you are flawed, and I love you!
I love the Amazon box, tote.❤
Love this! Great way to be environmentally friendly too!
These might be the best ideas I've seen on here! Going to do several of them!
Cute ideas to reuse boxes. Thanks!
Love these tips. Thanks
the tip of turning boxes inside out to prevent branding from showing is a real game changer!!
The sock folding is genius! Just finished refolding all our socks this way - it is a space saver, thank you!!
Fantastic video from start to finish!! Thank you.
So many great ideas! Thank you!
Kallie, you’re such a gem! Thanks for all you do to help others succeed at home. ❤
Thanks! Im about to star reorganizing a deep cleaning my home office/craft space. Lots of good ideas here
An awesome video! Containers can be so pricy!
Thanks Kallie, great video. We need more , How to save money “ videos.
Love this!!!! Thank you so much!!
Happy 2024!!!
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
Thank you for showing a creative way to stay organized on a budget. Good job.
What ingenious storage hacks! I love these ideas instead of using store bought containers. Another valuable video💚♥❣
This was different and many new ideas, thanks!
I made the box for plastic bags and it has been amazing!
This was great! Thank you!
I've already implemented the box top fold and have selected a plastic container for the sponge hanger. These ideas are great! ❤
I do use many of these methods that I learned from my mother in law, but loved the bag idea and sponge idea the most. ❤ very helpful.
I love these ideas! ❤
I love hearing all of your ideas. Some are great the rest are better!
You are so creative! Thank you for the hacks! ❣️
Appreciate free and actually affordable options! 🎉
I think it is interesting, your Left Handed, but you use a Box cutter with your right hand?? ❤
Love this video. Please more of that content
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 💜
Genuinely free, super helpful tips! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I upcycle when I can. Your tips were really helpful.
Love the hacks with the boxes. We all have those Amazon boxes that seem to procreate LOL
Thanks for the sock trick! My sock drawer looks so much more tidy now.
Love the shirt folding hack!!
EVERYONE needs to see this!! Thank you so much, from a budgeting momma of 4!
