Letters and Bills Organizer

Both of these are no-sew projects, constructed with tacky glue or a hot glue gun. You can use sturdy cardboard, styrofoam or wood as the base, then create a signature look with your choice of fabric, lace and ribbons.

If you’re handy with the sewing machine, consider making this Denim Organizer to hold scissors, tape measure and sewing notions.

Recycle three or four CDs to make this attractive CD Letter Holder or cut down a sturdy wine box or cereal box to make these handy Recycled Magazine Holders.
