CLUTTER — CURED!

Whether you’re scrapbooking, sewing or wrapping gifts, these quick and easy organizational ideas will keep supplies at the ready and save you time

SET UP A CREATIVE HUB

A wall-mounted storage system holds supplies of all shapes and sizes and leaves your table tidy. Look for pegboard and a hardware kit at your local hardware store (most will cut to size). Then paint and screw into your wall.

OUR PICK: Lowe’s Hardboard Pegboard, $10, and Blue Hawk Pegboard Kit, $9, lowes.com

1. UTILIZE A DINING TABLE

Make sure there’s room to wrap large gifts or take on big projects by trading your desk for a dinner table. Unlike a desktop, it has more generous proportions and is often much more economical.

2. END PAPER CHAOS

Hang gift wrap to keep it smooth and out of the way. To do: Screw a cup hook under the front and back corners of one side of the table. Tie the ends of a 66-inch rope together, slip through the roll and hang an end on each hook. OUR PICK: Ook Cup Hooks, $3 for a pack of 40, walmart.com

3. STOW TINY ITEMS HERE

A jumble of small beads, gems or sewing supplies can add up to one big mess. Keep them organized and visible at a glance in a wall-mounted spice rack with magnetic compartments.
