How to organize your junk drawers

Can you not find anything in your junk drawer? Do you get irritated when looking through it? Here are some really easy tips to make your junk drawer much easier to navigate through, and it will make your life a whole lot easier.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Ice cube trays
• Utensil trays
• A little extra time

1. 
    

   First, you will need some time, and you should take everything out of your junk drawers and throw away things you don't need, and put everything else into piles that are similar.

2. 
    

   Use utensil holders and ice cube trays to separate items. It is easier to see whats there when small things are in piles.

3. 
    

   Keep adult things in different drawers than infant/kids things. You won't have to sort through teething rings to find a battery.

4. 
    

   Check your junk drawers monthly. Throw away the things that are no longer useful to you, like expired coupons.
