Dressed Up Desk Organizers

March 28, 2016 By: Michele McDonald25 Comments

These dressed up desk organizers are perfect for adult AND kid desks!

Dress Up Desk Organizers - Target Dollar Spot organizers taken to the next level!Did you guys see those fun little lazy Susan organizers in the Target Dollar Spot? I thought they were an amazing bargain for $3 each! I snatched a couple up right away with big plans for them and finally found the time to get them all dressed up.

I bought one for myself and my craft desk and one for my kids and their craft desk and decorated them appropriately. Can you tell who’sΒ is who??

My theory is you can never have enough organization. And when you can customize it it’s even better!

To decorate the sides, I cut patterned scrapbook paper to size. Decoupage on then top with a coat of high gloss decoupage for a more polished look.

It’s filled with ALL of their crayon stash. I figure this is perfect for their little desk. The crayons they need will be easy to find AND easy to put back away. And if you have little boys, you know cleaning up after themselves only happens under magical circumstances!

These were so fun and easy to dress up! If I can find some more I think I’ll grab them and make teacher gifts out of them. Wouldn’t that be fun?

    Super cute! I purposely stay away from Target as I can easily go overboard. I may have to break my “rule” and pick some of these up for the kids art supplies. Visiting from Ladies Collective Linkup.
