Desk Accessories Need This Hanging Organizer
Why do you need a hanging organizer?
Your desk is a mess.
Why?
Pencil and pen cups in excess.
Perhaps markers in bulk, as well as scissors, tape, and notecards.
How do you function with so little space on a desk?
The answer is simple, you don’t!
Take 15 minutes to craft this DIY Hanging Organizer for Desk Accessories.
In fact, it’s a replica of one we have purchased from a large retailer that costs a lot more.
Spend less, get organized, and let your workspace be freed from pens, pencils, scissors, notecards, and more.
To be good at what you do while you are at your desk, it needs to be accessible and have a workspace.

Additionally, it’s a bargain and can be made for $6 or $8 depending on how many containers you add on!

Alright so to begin the process, sit at your desk.
Imagine it clean.
Yeah, just take everything off of it.
Because you see, imagining a clean desk begins with clearing it off!
Now, start by going through all of your pencils and pens.
Toss out what you don’t need, or basically what does not work.
Get rid of any marker that is dry.
Keep nothing for nostalgia’s sake.
Organize your scissors and paper punch, ruler, and tape into a different pile.
Grab those note cards, even the pile out, and see what you have.
Do you need more small note cards or large note cards?
By now, you’ve tossed, sorted, and taken stock of what you have.
Make sure to order or purchase what you will need to replace those tossed out items.
Then it’s time for a trip to the Dollar Tree.
Hey, if you love Dollar Tree, buy some of your desk supplies there!

I love the Dollar Tree because a well-invested dollar can mean a world of change.

I grabbed the supplies and laid them out.
Yep, I was dead-on what needed to be done, with a few tweaks.
There’s not a lot to this project, but, you do need at least a drill and a screwdriver.
