How to Make a Puzzle Organizer

Milk crates are reusable as furniture and storage devices.

When you have too many puzzles lying around in baskets and toy chests, a puzzle organizer can help tidy up the room. These organizers can be put together in just a few minutes. They also make it easier to find puzzles you want to work on at a moment's notice. To create a puzzle organizer, you need a sturdy box or crate, and a package of 1-gallon sized zip-close freezer bags.

Things You'll Need

• Plastic milk crate
• 1-gallon zip-close freezer bags
• Black marker

Instructions

1. Sort through the puzzles so that all of the pieces are with their appropriate puzzles.

2. Place each puzzle into its own zip-close freezer bag.

3. Label each freezer bag with the name of the puzzle using the black marker.

4. Place the puzzle bags upright in the milk crate so the labels are easy to see.

5. Set the puzzle organizer in a corner of the room.
