It is so difficult to get any work done when you're workspace is messy and cluttered. I am mostly a messy person, but when it comes down to have to work or study, I can't get my mind to concentrate if I am in a cluttered area. So for that reason, I made this section on the site for school and work desk organizational crafts. These crafts will help you organize and de-clutter your work space. You can make things like cubbies for your paperwork and office supplies as well as places to put your pencils and pens. Find more creative ideas below.

If you are looking for a way to organize all the school papers that come home from school than this is a very easy craft to make to help you organize everything all up. Save and wash out milk cartons for as long as it takes to save up enough to make a good sectional cubby system. Then glue them all together, side to side, and top to bottom for enough rows and columns. After you are done....measure up the front end of this cubby system. Then cut out a piece of cardboard for the lid. Hinge it at the top with a piece of duct tape. Then cover the unit with nice decorative paper or wrapping paper. You can make a yarn or ribbon loop and a button at the bottom to latch it down. Label all the cubbies to find things easily.
This is a great school organizer...plus it looks like a school pencil. Paint a large piece of paper to look like a pencil. Then go out and get contact paper and cover it completely. Then get large, clear plastic bags and attach them like pockets all over the pencil...either by sewing or by gluing on the 3 sides, keeping the top open so it is like a pocket. Then hang it on the wall. You can attach a whiteboard marker with a string to the top of the pencil so you can write messages and notes all over the pencil for reminders...store schoolwork in the pockets.
This is a great craft to make an alphabetical file for notes, clippings, stamps, labels, pictures, etc., are also at your fingertips in this revolving file. Seal about a half dozen old envelopes, then stand them on end and slit open the top of each one. Label each envelope. Punch two holes 5" apart on the side of each envelope. Punch corresponding holes in a slightly larger rectangle of heavy cardboard. Insert two metal rings from a discarded looseleaf binder and slide the cardboard between books on your desk or bookshelf for handy reference.
