You don’t need to spend a lot of money buying organizing products to become more organized.

DIY Mail Center = Cereal Boxes + Duct Tape

DIY Mail Center = Cereal Boxes + Duct Tape



Recently I made my own little mail center for the top of my desk. All I did to make this mail organizer was take three cereal boxes. I cut the boxes in half and wrapped them in duct tape, to make it durable. Next, I stapled the boxes together and added labels. Now I have a space to organize my bills, things to process, and things to call, ask, or cancel. go here. Aan easier way to do this, because I spent a lot of time cutting the boxes, it is to just use granola bar boxes since they’de all be the same size if you buy the same brand.

See this mail organizer and more DIY organizing products in my video: DIY Organization Ideas. You can also see the mail sorting station I use in my office here.
