“Okay boys and girls… class is in session and today we’re featuring… you guessed it Arts & Crafts (YAYYYYY! *laughs*)”. I remember my elementary school teacher saying this and all the kids going wild. Arts & Crafts was, after all, better than doing school work (well for me it was *laughs*). So today I thought I’d share an easy DIY to help you organize for any season. This Pencil Organizer, from the wonderful Design for Mankind blog, can really be used for kitchen utensils, odds & ends, or anything else you can think of. Whatever you can fit inside the cork, can be organized. Check out the blog to learn how you can make this for yourself. Enjoy your day!

My daughter is an artist and crafter…and just went back to school. She would love this!

Were those cork trivets a thing of the seventies! I so remember them on our dining table for hot dishes…a fun crafty idea! Yx

That is a neat idea! I love that I can pin things to it since I am always looking for something to pin a reminder on.
I hope you are having a great summer my friend!

That’s a clever idea, Kay, and so easy to create. 2 reasons why I never would have thought of it.

I need so much help in getting organised. This is a big help. I love it and I’d definitely be able to tell is something went missing xx

Nice idea! I love people who have creativity as I don’t seem to have one.
