This time I didn’t bother making them pretty because…
I’m a tad overwhelmed getting curriculum organized for the upcoming homeschool year
These are likely to get destroyed during the aforementioned homeschool year
But the kids’ school materials were constantly falling over last year, and it was really annoying.
So I made use of my cardboard box stash and cut up some makeshift holders.
We’ll see how yhey hold up.

Great idea! I don’t think they need to be “pretty”; they really don’t show that much. Sounds like they are very functional, and that’s what matters!

We homeschooled our sons too, I lost count of how many times I reorganized our bookshelves.

I have used cereal boxes to organize paperwork. Often just the right size and shape, but a little flimsy.

Great solution to a problem. Maybe the kids can decorate them later as an art project?

This is why like these Costco vinegar boxes. They are so sturdy! Though I’ll likely use the cereal boxes for lightweight paperwork, too

I’ve been cutting up boxes for organizing as well! Things get organized, it costs us very little dollars-wise, and keeps stuff out of the landfill. Triple-win!!

My son cut a tissue box in half and turned it into a makeshift craft supply box for my stuff on the main floor here. He’s tickled that I’m still using it. It’s really handy, what can I say?
