A practical DIY organizer

An organizer is the type of thing you find very useful and practical when you have it but that you wouldn’t pay money for when you see it in the store. We have a great solution for that problem: a DIY version of the organizer. It’s a very simple project that doesn’t require much time or unusual supplies.

To make an organizer similar to the one presented in the pictures you’ll need an old window, cork squares, chalkboard spray paint, chicken wire, 1.4’’ wood, a sawtooth hanger, a power saw or a table saw, wire cutters, a razor knife, a scraper, a rubber mallet, a trim nailer. The first step is to remove the window glazing. You can use a sharp razor knife for this part. Then scrape the sides with the scraper. After this part you’ll have to remove the glass. Make sure no glass shards remain. Use the scraper again.

After you have measured the dimensions of the window, cut the wood. Clean it off and then use chalkboard spray paint. Let it dry and apply wood glue on the boards and then lay cork on top of them. Secure everything with a weight and let it dry. Attach the boards to the window and use the trim nailer to secure it. Attach the chicken wire as well and add the hangers. Now the organizer is ready to be used.{found on mysocalledcraftylife}.
