Practical DIY Desk Storage!

Hi everyone, here’s a nice project for you to make for the new year.

This Large Desk Storage holds all of my tools and the tiered sections make it easy for me to see where everything is.

You can make this any size you like, so if you want it even bigger or maybe just a small unit with a few sections, then you can.

I covered the unit with colours and papers that match my craft room and I sprinkled glitter over all the edges to add a little sparkle and to hide any joins.

Here’s how the organiser looks filled with my tools, you can see it holds ALOT!

SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THIS DESK ORGANISER

2mm Greybeard is available here.

MEASUREMENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS DESK ORGANISER

Divide and mark the 7′ section so you have x4, 1.3/4 sections.
