Grab a cheap bin at Walmart and copy these 10 nifty space-saving ideas

If you’re a teacher, you know the frustration of never knowing where your markers, sticky notes, glue or scissors have disappeared to. Instead of constantly trying to track down your missing supplies, use several smaller-sized bins to organize your classroom supplies. With everything labelled, your students will know where to find what they need and will also know exactly where to return things when they’re finished using them.

Kids tend to make messes. They can’t help it; it’s just what they do.

But that doesn’t mean you should let their toys take over the entire room. Plastic bins are the perfect storage containers for kids’ toys. They can hold a lot, you can use just about anything to label them and your kids can easily see what toys are in each bin.

Whether you make jewelry to sell or just like to have plenty of options for a night out, storing jewelry is always a hassle. Your necklace chains get tangled together, your bracelets lose their beads in the fray and your rings disappear into the great unknown. Instead of digging through a crowded jewelry box every time you need something to wear, try drilling some holes into the sides of your plastic bin and inserting metal pegboard hooks. You can now safely hang your jewelry on the hooks without everything becoming a huge tangled mess.
