Day 4 – Electronics/Entertainment Organizers {31 Cheap & Easy DIY Organizers}
Think you have to spend a lot of money on costly organizing tools to get your house in order? Nope! Getting organized doesn’t have to be expensive!
Today I want to show you some ideas for how to organize your electronics and entertainment items. Things like chargers, cords, ear buds, and DVD’s can become overwhelming if they aren’t organized. They can get misplaced, tangled, or just plain mixed up, and it’s frustrating when you need to use a specific item and can’t easily do that.
When my kids were younger, we organized all their DVD’s, video games, and video game accessories in the entertainment area of our basement.
Organizing Our Basement Entertainment Area
Everything was in dollar store baskets that I already had, and on shelves we got on Freecycle. It was easy to find what we need and {theoretically} it’s easy to put everything away.
Those aren’t really DIY organizers, but it shows you don’t have to spend a lot and you can repurpose things you already have.
Here are 4 more cheap and easy DIY organizer ideas to help you get organized!
- This family charging station is made out of a wooden desk organizer. Check out her tutorial for turning the desk organizer into a charging station for multiple devices.
- I love this charging station made from a breadbox! Electronics can be charged, and all those messy cords can be hidden out of sight. If you don’t have a breadbox, you can find them for very little money at thrift stores and garage sales. Details on how to make this charging station are in the link below the picture.
- Another cheap and easy way to keep cords organized is to use toilet rolls! One roll per cord. Simple.
Organize & Decorate Everything
- For on-the-go organizing of a few cords or ear buds, here’s a tutorial for making a leather organizer.
- If you still have lots of DVD’s, and not a lot of space to store them, here’s a post showing how to make dividers using file folders, washi tape, and a label maker. This works for video games or CD’s as well.
None of these ideas will cost you very much and they are very simple to do. Any one of them will help your electronics and entertainment items stay organized.
