Use a cutlery tray to organize a desk drawer: Reuse & Repurpose

I love reusing and repurposing stuff. I had picked up a dollar store cutlery tray a while back. You know, the kind with the different compartments for the forks, spoons, knives, etc. Well, anyway, I never wound up using it in our kitchen. I found a great use for it in our office. Our top drawer of our desk was a mess! A real mess! Stamps, pens, stapers, tape, erasers, clips, and so on. All strewn across the drawer.

I knew I had to find a better way to organize that drawer and I figured I would try using that cutlery tray in there. What a great idea! It is now organized perfectly and EVERY SINGLE THING in there has a specific place that it belongs. I know exactly where everything is and I know exactly where to put things back. Huge success!
