Organizer for linen - handy thing in every home, because now all the linen is in its place, and finding something you need will not be a problem. And in general, order in the house should be in everything, it makes our life much easier. Today we will show everyone how to do this simple and very useful thing.

How to make an organizer with your own hands?

Organizer is, first of all, a box. And so, for work we need:

Thick cardboard for partitions

Box

Upholstery fabric

Pencil

Sewing machine

Scissors

Ruler

If not sewing machine, we can sew all the details manually.

Let's get started!

To get a general picture of the future organizer, let's write a little about it. An organizer is a box that contains many pockets for laundry. If we do not have a box, we can make it ourselves, but if there is, then it remains to make, only a partition for him.

1 . First of all, we need to calculate the size of the box, from which we will make our organizer. Then calculate at what distance the partitions will be, and make them out of thick cardboard.

2. Now we need to trim them with fabric. First, we measure it. Fabrics should be measured more than the cardboard itself to make it easier to sew. In our case, we will sew several partitions at once into one, so that in the future it will be easier to insert and fasten them together.

3. We carefully sew the cardboard boxes.

4. Now we need to connect all the partitions together, they can simply be sewn together. As a result, we should get the following template:

5 . The box can also be sheathed with the same fabric, after which we insert partitions into it.

6 . By fixing the partitions in the box, we get a ready-made organizer, which can already be used for its intended purpose!

My next brag is the underwear organizer!

If you have an Ikea nearby or you have the patience to wait for a package with an order, do not waste your nerves, effort and time on this “nonsense”.
I spent every evening on it for two weeks. Well, how I spent it - I sewed quietly, pricked my fingers with a needle, learned to work with a thimble, watched all sorts of films with one eye, drank tea, stroked cats ...
In general, sometimes I like the process itself more than the result achieved. And it’s also easier and faster for me to do something myself than to go and buy it. I remember somehow I tore my favorite brown-chocolate ankle tights, so while I got the same pair for a new pair, I already managed to make embroidery on the old ones. And I love them more and wear them more often than new)))
This is all to the fact that my perfectionism does not sleep and constantly spoils my mood - I love order in everything! I love it when every thing has its place, when you close your eyes and without hesitation say in which drawer of the chest of drawers is the piece of paper / colored pencils / old phone charger / pool cap that you need right here and now. Oooooh, how crazy I am when I don’t find a thing in its place, or I find it, but where, by definition, it shouldn’t be there. Well, for example, the TV remote control buried among kitchen spatulas, openers and knives. And as for evil "burrowing" under mine hot hand it doesn’t turn out, and damned perfectionism doesn’t give me the endurance to leave everything as it is and poke the violator’s nose, I carry everything in its place…
Needless to say, every morning, when I opened my underwear drawer, I saw a bunch of women's things, absolutely not systematized. And it pissed me off again!

And then I saw HIM - an organizer!

And if in our town such a miracle was sold, I would buy it without hesitation! Well, or at least turned it in my hands and would understand the principle of assembly. Patamushta, when I, inspired by the idea, cut and began to sew, I “invented” the bicycle not the first time.
But if the hands are golden, it doesn’t matter where they grow from! If I haven’t beaten off the desire yet, I’ll tell you how this “miracle” happened to me.

First you need to take the dimensions from the box: length, width and depth (height).
My standard dresser drawer was 76 cm long, 43 wide, 13 high.

From a single-layer synthetic winterizer and the main fabric, I cut out one rectangle measuring 75 * 42
The dimensions of the rectangles must be specially reduced by one or two centimeters from the dimensions of the box, so that the organizer freely enters the box, does not shrink or bulge.
The blue rectangle can be put aside for now - we will need it at the very end.

And on the white (this is the base of the organizer) we sew long rectangles (these will be the walls of the cells). It's just that the blue organizer seemed boring to me, and I took another orange-white fabric.
The length of the rectangles is equal to the length of the base, and the width is equal to twice the height of the box (minus a couple of centimeters - again, so that nothing interferes with closing / opening). We sew the rectangles in the middle, fold the sides together, the seam is inside, and our partition turned out to be double - for additional rigidity and hiding all the seams and edges.
I sewed the outer walls of the organizer on the contrary - with a fold up.
I found the distance between the partitions empirically, optimizing and ergonomically folding bras in different ways and measuring the width.

The number and length of the cells also directly depends on the size of the bust of the hostess)) (here I have already drawn the boundaries).

No need to sew to the edge! Leave a centimeter and a half - then you will understand why.

Now it's a matter of small partitions. Have you determined the width? We add half a centimeter on each side for seam allowances, but on the contrary, we reduce the height by a centimeter. We also make double partitions - we sew such "bags" - as many as we have partitions. (I got 24 pieces). You should not cut everything at once in the same size - you need to periodically check the width between the long partitions (well, or initially sew them perfectly and accurately to the millimeter).
So, we sew the “bags”, turn them inside out. To make the corners turn out well, you can cut them off a little. And then all the details need to be steamed with an iron - this will turn out more evenly and accurately, and it will be easier to work.

We close the section of the “pouch” with an oblique inlay or a ribbon folded in half.
Well, now we have, perhaps, the longest process of our creativity: sewing small partitions to large ones (along the lines marked in advance) from the beginning on one side, then on the other. This is where 90% of the time is spent.

Remember, we did not sew long partitions to the very edge? Now we sew both halves together along the short side (in height), turn it inside out, and steam it with an iron.

We close the upper sections with an oblique trim or ribbon. And from the sides along the edges we sew the walls-rectangles, fold up (as we did before on the long side).

We sew dangling long partitions to the side short wall.

We combine the sections of the side walls in height, stitch them, close the sections with an oblique trim or ribbon - this is the corner you get.

Well, now is the time to remember about the large rectangle, set aside at the very beginning. We put it on the bottom of our design and sew it around the perimeter (I stitched it in a “zigzag” so that the threads from the cuts would not interfere with further work).

Iiiiiii, the final stage - along the perimeter we close the sections with an oblique inlay or ribbon. Special attention you need to pay attention to the corners - so that nothing puffs up, so that there are no wrinkles!

Let's take it for a "fitting"!

And now the most pleasant part is putting everything in its place, admiring the perfect order and praising ourselves twice a day)))

But if such a useful thing is passion as you want, and laziness or pens are directed in the other direction, then ready-made organizers for linen, as well as shoe boxes, boxes for hats, vacuum bags and a million of all the things you need to organize the order of things, you can find!
You can also read about some ready-made organizers.

You can quickly and easily make an organizer out of a cardboard box. Select the correct size box to fit into the cabinet. You can use one or more shoeboxes. Cover with a cloth, for this use PVA glue. It will turn out very beautifully if you paste over the box with napkins using the decoupage technique.

Measure the length and width of the box, according to these dimensions, cut strips 15-20 cm high from thick cardboard. Cover the parts with a cloth. Make grid sizes on them. Install the longitudinal dividers by fixing them to the bottom of the box with glue. On the crossbars, make slits according to the marking, not reaching the top of 1 cm and put on their main strips. The organizer is ready.

In a dresser, you can make a laundry organizer even faster. Cut out cardboard partitions to the size of the box in which you intend to store the laundry, dividing the storage space into cells. Cells can be of any shape: square, diamond-shaped, rectangular.

There are other variants of the laundry organizer based on drawer. Instead of partitions, you can put small boxes glued together. Cells can be multi-colored plastic mugs, cans, connected to each other with glue.

Hanging organizer

A hanging fabric organizer will help free up space in the closet. Making it is as easy as out of the box. You will need thick fabric and material for the pockets. Cut out a canvas of the right size from a dense fabric and sew pockets on it. For overhead parts, you can use jeans pockets, multi-colored patches, transparent fabric. Stitch the pockets in rows, then tape the perimeter with the trimming tape. Slip the top of the organizer over the hanger bar and stitch. You can hang such an organizer for underwear on the door or outside on the end wall of the cabinet.

How to create a DIY lingerie organizer? Step-by-step instructions will help you make a small storage even from ordinary materials that are often at hand. This is great, because you never want to spend money on purchased containers.

After reading this text, you will learn how you can make a container for storing laundry from regular milk cartons or wide cloth bands.

Necessary materials

The step-by-step instructions for sewing an organizer are quite simple, no matter what material you choose to create a linen container. But for the successful creation of an organizer with your own hands, you need to prepare some materials in advance. First, let's decide what you want to design your organizer from: cardboard or fabric.

Cardboard is usually placed in a drawer of a wardrobe or chest of drawers. Therefore, in addition to the future storage space for the container, you need to take care of the timely acquisition of a ruler, a simple pencil or marker, cardboard (you can immediately cut the shape in accordance with the width and length of the box), a stationery knife or small scissors.

A large piece of fabric of a color that fits into your interior or just pleases the eye, scissors, strong threads, tailor's pins and needles will help to sew a do-it-yourself laundry organizer from fabric. You may also need tailor's lined paper, since it is quite difficult to design an organizer for linen without a diagram.

How to make a cardboard lingerie organizer with your own hands?

This option is cheap, but you need a good eye to make it. But you need to start by looking for a sheet of cardboard.

• First you need to measure the width, height and length of the laundry storage box. Next, you should count the number of strips required.

• In order not to spoil anything, you need to play it safe. And an ordinary pattern on lined or sewing paper can help with this.

• All strips must have the same width and height. Only then will you be able to properly plan the creation of a laundry organizer and (just as important) successfully install it in the drawer.

• Next, you should outline the notch lines. On long strips, you need to make three cuts in half the width of the strip, and for short ones, two will be enough. What main feature? The width should be equal to the thickness of the partition.

• The incisions must be made as carefully as possible. It is better to make a smaller cut and enlarge it if necessary, than to ruin the part. To strengthen the partitions, you can varnish or tape them.

• The last step is to connect the pieces and place them directly in the drawer for storing underwear.

Responsibly treat the measurements of the box in which the container for linen will be stored. Otherwise, there is a risk that the product will simply not fit into it. Just in case, it is worth leaving two centimeters in reserve.

Making an organizer from cardboard may require some financial investment. To keep organizer costs as low as possible, simple milk bags can be used as material.

1. An alternative way of making a storage for underwear from cardboard with your own hands can be considered the creation of an organizer from milk or kefir bags. Free people show up at home at least once every two days.
2. Of course, the boxes need to be processed before placing the laundry in them. First, cut off the top of them so that they all fit into the drawer. Then, using soap, wash the inside of the bags.
3. Fasten the bags together with a stapler or strong glue, using the "Moment" type. From above, to add aesthetic value, you can spray the product with colored spray paint. It remains only to put it in the box.

How to sew a fabric organizer?

The advantage of making a fabric organizer is that this option will last longer. Plus, the fabric will not deteriorate if you accidentally spill some liquid makeup on it.

• If you are not happy with the use of cardboard or want to create a homemade travel organizer, fabric should act as a consumable - a tape 12 millimeters wide, cardboard for the base.

• First of all, you need to draw a drawing of a laundry organizer on paper, and then transfer it to cardboard. Take into account the dimensions of the box in which you plan to put the received product.

• The following cutting is considered standard: five strips of 18, 36, 45, 54 and 27 centimeters, respectively (remember the allowances of two centimeters for sewing), twelve inner walls of nine centimeters and two pieces of eight, the outer parts of the walls of 4 strips of 36 centimeters with allowances and a bottom format of 36 by 36 centimeters. The fabric will turn out if all the specified details are sewn correctly.

• Fold the dividers in half and sew the top edge. Then all strips should be sewn in accordance with the markings (according to it, the first three rows include four small compartments, and the last four large ones).

• It is necessary to sew partitions so that a margin of 50 millimeters remains above and below the edge of the fabric strips. This will then allow you to sew the bottom to the bottom (you can sew it on the zipper to make it easier to fold the storage.
• Next, you need to strengthen the walls with cardboard (just insert it into the double-leaf walls) and process the edges with tape. In this case, you can not worry about the strength of the organizer and install it in the chest of drawers.

In every house there are many small things that are usually thrown into a chest of drawers or closet. It is not very convenient to store them like that - everything seems to be in place, but at the same time everything lies in a big pile, in which there is neither logic nor order. But you want to easily and quickly find and get the right thing without unnecessary gestures and just as quickly determine its place after use. For this case, special separators were invented.. You can buy them, or you can make your own. How to make drawer dividers with your own hands without spending a lot of time and money on it?

Cabinets, drawers, special baskets or boxes and other items, the purpose of which is to simplify the storage of things and put things in order, are called the clever phrase "storage systems". They are necessary so that the house has order and comfort, otherwise, when everything is piled up in one pile of things, there can be no talk of any comfort. It is also impossible to quickly find the right small item if it does not have its own permanent, strictly designated place. But if the storage of things in the house is organized correctly, then there will be no mess, everything will be in its place, greatly simplifying a person’s life.

On a note! Also, storage systems allow you to optimize the free space in the house without cluttering it up.

Storage systems can be different in their type and type, in size and purpose of use. So, first of all, they can be divided into open, which include hangers, window sills, shelves, and closed- these are cabinets, drawers, chests of drawers, etc. Inside each large storage system, smaller ones can be involved. For example, in the same closet you can hang a scooter or put a box for small items, and in a chest of drawers you can put a smaller organizer or put dividers, which will be discussed below.

Table. Various large storage systems.

System type	Information
	Such storage systems include everything that has a strong rigid frame. It can be cabinets and chests of drawers, bedside tables and other furniture. Most often these are wood products, but there are also plastic variations. You can put in them objects of various sizes and purposes, depending on the purpose of the system itself. Smaller storage systems can be installed inside.
	Such systems are usually open, unlike frame systems, which most often have doors. They are installed on the walls and can be used depending on the purpose. So, the main example of such a system is an ordinary hanger.
	This is a suspended type of storage structure and, moreover, does not have a solid frame. Most often, such systems are made of mesh fabric and have many pockets for various items. They can be fixed on a special bar or hooks in a vertical position. Can be used both outside and inside other storage systems.

Small storage systems

In addition to large-sized systems, there are also all kinds of small ones that simplify the storage of small-sized items and prevent them from existing in the house in one continuous pile. Often they can be installed inside dresser drawers, on shelves, or they can be suspended and located anywhere in the apartment. Everything will depend on the desire of the owner of the house, as well as on the design and possibilities of the premises.

Consider the main types of small storage systems.

1. pockets– convenient storage systems for areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, as well as toilets. You can use pockets in cabinets, but usually this is not practical. They are a soft organizer with many compartments. Usually made of fabric or film.
2. mesh baskets- usually used as an additional storage space for small items. Convenient to place in a closet or under the bed.
3. Vacuum bags – optimal solution for storage of winter overall clothes such as down jackets, as well as for transportation a large number clothes. They help to reduce the area occupied by things in the closet, due to the fact that excess air can be removed from the bags using a conventional vacuum cleaner. Clothing volumes are largely reduced due to this. The only negative is that the clothes are very wrinkled in such bags.
   
   
4. Hanging shelves, racks, scuba. This is what you can buy in the same "Ikea" or other similar stores. They are usually hung on rods in closets and put things in them.

So, small wardrobe items can be placed in small textile boxes for storage. kitchen utensils plastic organizers are ideal. Also something can be stored in cardboard boxes etc. Plastic and fabric products are great for storing children's toys.

And now - about separators

Drawer dividers are special strips that are used to optimize the free space in any drawer, regardless of its size and dimensions. It is enough just to take the delimiters that are suitable for the parameters. Usually they are made in the form of strips that are assembled inside the box into a spacer and allow you to create several compartments in it to place things in them.

On a note! Drawer dividers can be replaced with organizers that are simply installed inside. They have multiple compartments.

Particularly relevant are dividers for storing small kitchen utensils, they are also convenient to use for cosmetics, tools, medicines and other small things. If you put all small items without using an organizer just in a box, then in any case they will get mixed up with each other, and you will have to look for the right item for a long time. If there are dividers, it will not be difficult to get any thing, because it will lie in its strictly designated place.

When it comes to storing kitchen items, such as forks, spoons, knives, it is best to use plastic or wooden dividers. They will not be as susceptible to moisture as cardboard or lined with fabric, although dividers can be made from various materials. But for storing small items of clothing, cosmetics and other things, you can use cardboard dividers, fabric-covered or lined with paper. There can no longer be any contact with water, and therefore there is no need to worry that something will deteriorate.

On a note! Instead of dividers for kitchen utensils, you can use small trays specially designed for installation in drawers. It will not allow moisture to get on the wooden bottom of the box. However, if there is a desire to use separators, then it is recommended to stick an oilcloth on the bottom. It will protect its surface from contact with water.

You can also use dividers in the bathroom if there is some kind of chest of drawers or cabinet with drawers. And here, too, it is worth evaluating which ones are better to use - plastic, wooden or cardboard. Everything will depend on what needs to be stored. So, rags and sponges are well stored only in plastic containers with plastic dividers. But some dry personal hygiene items can also be placed in boxes with wooden or cardboard dividers.

Important! Bathroom and toilet - places with high humidity. It is better not to use storage systems exposed to the negative effects of water. Otherwise, they won't last long.

What can be made from?

Dividers can be bought at the store, but, unfortunately, they are not always the right size. So the easiest way is to make them with your own hands according to the parameter of the desired box. So, you can make separators from:

• cardboard;
• plastic;
• metal;
• tree.

In addition, materials such as fabric, paint, oilcloth, paper, etc. can be used. They are necessary to decorate the surface of the dividers if necessary.

The easiest way to make cardboard dividers, but they will not be used in the kitchen. But in the room they will come just right. For the kitchen, these storage systems will have to be made of wood, and even covered with a protective varnish. You can also try making them out of plastic.

As ancillary tools you may need:

• scissors;
• Scotch;
• glue;
• wood saw;
• brushes;
• Ruler and pencil.

Consider a couple of examples of creating separators with your own hands. We will use wood and cardboard.

Option number 1. Making dividers out of cardboard

Step 1. First of all, you need to decide on the size of the separators. To do this, you need to know the length, height and width of the box and, in accordance with these parameters, determine the dimensions of the storage systems themselves. Next, you need to draw blanks for separators on a sheet of cardboard. Their length will be equal to the width or length of the box, and the height will be equal to the height of the box or slightly lower. It is important at this stage to understand what size sections should be in the end.

Step 3. Now you need to cut the film for pasting the separators. You can take a self-adhesive version. One piece of film for one spacer should be of such a size that it is possible to completely wrap the part with it.

Step 4. The film must be pasted over all the details very carefully, avoiding the appearance of air bubbles on the surface. You can remove them if you iron the details with a card. Details need to be pasted over from all sides, even from the sides.

Step 5 Then you need to make marks on the ends of the blanks in the places where the cuts will be made for the possibility of connection individual elements into one system. The width of the cutouts should be the same as the thickness of the cardboard.

Step 6 It remains only to cut the strips according to the marked marks. It is important not to cut them to the end, otherwise the system will not be able to assemble.

Step 7. Then you should connect the parts into a single system and install it in a box.

In our new article, we have collected best options making a hand cultivator! Schemes, drawings, examples, photos and step by step instructions... All this, as well as many other useful things, can be found!

Option number 2. How to make wooden partitions

Step 1. To begin with, from a thin sheet of plywood, you need to cut individual parts according to the size and layout of the separators. They should have the same height as the box. In total, you should get 4 walls and 3 partitions.

Step 2 In this case, grooves must be made in the side parts that will help to dock the individual parts into a single system. Separators will be inserted into them.

Step 3. Now all the elements of the future storage system need to be polished.

Step 4. It is necessary to connect all the side elements of the organizer to each other. They can be nailed together with small nails.

Step 5 Now it’s worth gluing all the corners with glue and smearing it with the same places where the dividing strips will be installed.

Step 6 It is necessary to fix the separator strips inside the box. When the glue dries, the storage system can be varnished.

Step 7. When the varnish layer dries, you should install the dividers inside the box and you can use them.
