Creative Shoe Organization


Happy Friday Dinosaurs! Today I'd like to share with you a little organization project I came up with this past weekend. If you know anything about me, you'd know that I absolutely love organization! My husband often likes to tease me about how intense I can get about my organizing (guilty!). I am so much more efficient and feel so much better when I can clear my space and life of clutter.

So when my shoes were wreaking havoc in my closet, I knew I had to take order! While I had thought they were sitting neatly, lined up against the closet walls, I was still kicking them and making a mess during my daily rummaging through our tiny closet. So I made a plan for something much more practical, with a little creative twist!


I spotted these storage boxes at A.C. Moore, commonly used for photo storage, but are also the perfect size for shoes! I loved the assortment of patterns and snagged up as many as I could when they were on sale (4 for $10)! But since these weren't clear boxes, I didn't want to have to open each box just to find a particular pair shoes. Thus enter the Fuji Instax Camera.



I used my instant camera to snap a photo of each of the pairs of shoes.



I used Scotch double sided removable tape (in the scrapbooking department) to place 2 strips on the back of each photograph. I then simply attached it to the front of the shoe box, covering the little metal plate. The great thing about this tape is that it's removable, so if you decide to change the pair in the box, you can remove the picture without damaging the box!



Place the appropriate pair in your box, and voilĂ ! You now have a lovely set of shoe boxes and know exactly which pair is in each box! You can stack the boxes wherever you need to in your closet and keep everything tidy! My closet already feels so much more organized!

I hope some of you will find this little project easy to recreate and useful  for the needs in your home!

How do you keep your closet under control?

Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for reading!
