[@rhyfelwrDuw]

I thought it was genius too! :) So easy to make!

[@luckybizwoo]

Agreed!

[@GiGiWellness28]

Agree totally! We don't have Dollar Tree in Sydney, Australia & lazy susans are truly expensive things to purchase, with this method, I can have much cheaper lazy susans made for our kitchen. YAY! Thanks Alejandra :-D

[@sandyyuly8882]

When im feeling lazy and my room is a mess i watch vids like this to get motivated:) anyone else ? Hahaha

[@hannahw5160]

Omg yessss

[@EmilyStClair-bl3by]

Yes I'm watching all these room tours and I'm like SIGH 😍

[@jetpamintuan5725]

Me too!

[@kawaiigeneration4338]

Emergency to but usually, I get motivated, decide to do all this cute stuff, then I end up doing nothing...

[@kawaiigeneration4338]

I meant me to not emergency

[@DoItOnaDime]

So much motivation here, Alejandra!!! Love your creativity. You don't have to spend a lot to get organized!! Amen to that! Xo, Kathryn

[@HomeOrganizing]

Thanks Kathryn!! No you don't AT ALL!! :)

[@DoItOnaDime]

P.S. I am in serious freak-out over the Dollar Tree lazy suzan. Ahhhhhhhhhh

[@HomeOrganizing]

DoItOnaDime You should totally try it!!! I couldn't stop freaking out when it actually spun smoothly!!!! :) :) :)

[@laurelpais]

I love your videos Kathryn! :)

[@apirsvinayaksuntharam9869]

***** I AM YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN AND I LIVE IN THE UK☺☺☺

[@lizevans5537]

Alejandra, I'm OBSESSED! Over the last 16 years that my husband and I have lived together our house has gotten messier and messier, to the point where we're the family joke! Now I'm moving project by project through my house, and it's amazing!! I had a student come in yesterday and said "Holy crap, I think I'm in the wrong house!" THANK YOU!!

[@ramyasvss3489]

Liz Evans St J awfree ohn

[@merakifalls4391]

Thanks for giving me a laugh about the student part. I can so imagine that happening and it made my day!

[@saratawalbeh2642]

[@auroramothergoddess]

Definitely

[@saratawalbeh2642]

[@qgreen8366]

[@neesiedavis4062]

Wow ! That marble lazy susan is just AWESOME!!!

[@OldWorldHome]

Lazy susan...my mind just exploded! So many wonderful ideas here! It's so nice to see a video from you pop up again, looking forward to Part 2! Happy New Year :)

[@HomeOrganizing]

Happy New Year to you too and thank YOU for watching! Part 2 will be up in Jan :)

[@mrtintin4253]

so agreed

[@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana]

You are so creative with these organizing ideas, Alejandra! The lazy Susan is just brilliant! I am sorting through SEVERAL boxes of old papers right now. I listed a box of 33 VHS tapes on Ebay (Yes, VHS tapes. A guy named Steven used to live in this apartment building. He moved out and left masses of stuff, including 2 large boxes of VHS tapes.) and an office chair on Craig's List. Watching your videos keeps me motivated. I'm working on decluttering and getting reasonably organized.

[@thecreativelady]

It's always good to see you - especially when I've got organizing on the brain!

[@HomeOrganizing]

Yay :) Great timing! Happy organizing to you! :)

[@KraftyPaws]

So many great ideas! I esp love the marbles lazy susan! Brilliant!

[@chickapey]

I love it! The cake tins with marbles is absolutley brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this and keeping it on budget !

[@HomeOrganizing]

Glad you enjoyed the lazy susan idea!! :) Thanks for watching!

[@Lynker]

The lazy susan idea was sooo smart! Definitely using this idea if I don't buy one myself. :)

[@phoenixmoon3]

that lazy Suzan idea is the best thing ever! :)

[@mrssmurf55]

Love the lazy Susan genius! Happy new yr from Ireland!

[@HomeOrganizing]

Thank you :) Happy New Year to you too Ann marie :)

[@aideenoleary6727]

Love the lazy Susan idea, so clever!

[@blahbloop9431]

OMG I FREAKING LOVE YOU!! I'm going to college in less than a month and have been searching high and low for dirt cheap DIY ideas to keep from spending so much on storage boxes and decorative ideas! This video has given me so many ideas to just reuse what I already have at home. Thank you so much!!

[@mayrafabian4687]

I love all your videos they get me motivated to get organized

[@mayrafabian4687]

I think I am the first person to comment I've never done that before yay

[@HomeOrganizing]

Yay! I hope this gives you the motivation you need :)

[@grizzlesantos6550]

...

[@lexiegrl09]

Omg!!! My mind was so blown with your lazy Susan idea!!! I have already texted two people about your idea!! I am in the midst of tearing my whole kitchen down and feeling discouraged, but I came across your video and feel energized and inspired!!!! God bless your creative brain!!! Thank you so much! Subscribed! I already know there will be tons more to learn fro. You!!

[@claraslate]

LOVE the marble lazy susan!!! wow! tfs xoxo Clara

[@AlyssaHoward]

I love you so much Alejandra! You are so beautiful and organized, I still till this day cannot be as organized as you but I will not stop trying. You are my role model! Thanks!

[@catherinesim4875]

OMGOMGOMG YOURE SO AMAZING

[@HomeOrganizing]

So glad I can be of inspiration to you :)

[@smallspidersad78]

I love that you have THAT MANY labeling supplies, you're honestly adoreable

[@ThePastelKat]

I *always* love your ideas. You are the epitome of organization to me. You and Julie Morgenstern are like the organizing goddesses. But I must admit, often ideas or methods seem unreachable to me, simply because I cannot afford places like the Container store and the like. I always LOVE to see when your more budget friendly ideas come around, like when you use dollar stores, etc. Now THIS video hit home! I clicked it right away and my eyes got large! THIS stuff I can do, and you truly inspire. Please keep ones like this coming, I could eat em up! ;) That lazy susan thing is such a stroke of genius. I cannot wait to get to the dollar store to make one, and buy up the contact paper and duct tape. LOL Thank you for inspiring me today, and I look forward to more videos like this. =) Happy New Year to you!

[@ThePastelKat]

P.S. I would like to issue you a challenge. I am always having so many of those 12 pack soda boxes around, and having to recycle. I would love to see what ideas you could come up with to reuse this in some sort of organizational system. =)

[@HomeOrganizing]

Thank you for such a kind comment :) I am so glad this video has inspired YOU! There are more videos just like this one, budget-friendly, DIY, on the way, in the New Year. So happy this one hit home for you :) I am wishing you Kat all the best in 2015. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment!

[@HomeOrganizing]

Kat Tee I have a box of "stuff" waiting for me to get creative with so I can plan Part 3, 4, 5, and so on... I will add a 12-pack soda box to the mix! Thank you for the suggestion!! :)

[@Neelysmusic]

thank you for all you do! You help people in ways you probably don't even realize. You definitely have been a positive motivating influence for me when I desperately needed it! Thank you!!

[@AnnDunnington]

Love your ideas, Alejandra!! Thanks for sharing!

[@thehalloweeniesemporium580]

love the lazy susan! I have plenty of cake pans to use for that...plus, when you need to bake a cake, you can still use them for that purpose. the cup hooks for necklaces are cool, too. as for the pizza box organizer...that was really cool! if people worry about grease from the box, they can actually go to their local pizza place & request a couple of unused boxes. might cost ya $1 or $2 per box, but they'll be grease free. I need more organization in my life....these are great ideas, so now, I'll go watch part 2! :)

[@miss_t_sonam]

You totally remind me of Monica Geller!

[@Sunfl75]

Monica who?

[@jyothiyogananda8845]

Yeah, her looks n acts are similar😂

[@Meriemomar93]

Where have u been my whole life ommmg ure an organization goddess, im watching ur videos with my head between my head suprisingly, how u make such a cool thing out of nothing, most of the supplies u used are just some stuff we really throw away on a daily basis thinking we really wont need it anymore, u brought life from most of dying stuff, good job

[@roxiem.1736]

I am a quilter. I use a new pizza box (I asked and they gave me a couple) to hold all of the pieces of my quilt blocks when they are cut. It is big enough to hold the pieces to a queen size quilt. Everything is together to make the top when I am ready to sew. I keep the instructions, thread, and a few extra pieces of fabric in the box. It is easy to take with me to my quilt classes and guild meetings.

[@memoir02]

You are my ROLE MODEL Alejandra! As a person whose always been very resourceful/creative I am so inspired by these ideas and will definately be using alot of them

[@elizabethrichard9286]

The lazy Susan is awesome!!

[@gamingzain7058]

Élizabeth Richard h

[@katiiwah]

I was searching for some organization videos, and they weren't working for a while, and then I came across this and was amazed, immediately liked and subscribed after seeing the first one. Clever I must say!

[@castiel2828]

Soooo Cool!!! I love it! ❤

[@mibescueta]

I can't begin to tell you how much I love your videos and you have inspired me to keep things organized all the time! Listening to you is like therapy for me now LOL. Hope you make more new videos since I've watched everything in your channel already.

[@superholly]

P.S. Love the tea organizer and the lazy susan!!!!

[@janniagonzalez5459]

Finding the most hidden SuperHolly comment :3

[@CandisSarwan]

I watch your videos all the time, you are so inventive and creative, I LOVE the lazy Susan you created it's amazing how well it works and how simple it is to create. Thanks for a great idea, keep up the excellent work.

[@afiafatima2497]

[@wonderingstar5468]

Hi Alejandra!!!! I love your organizing ideas. I still enjoy your vids when I have the chance to watch them as have been sooo busy just seeing to my families needs. Will have to organize my time as neatness is close to my heart!

[@tbrash03]

Definitely doing the lazy Susan

[@jbyrd3221]

You are AMAZING!!! I have a really small apartment with limited closet and kitchen space. I lost hope in even finding ideas on organizing it until now.. These ideas are so practical and they totally fit within my budget!!

[@timaluvs]

You remind me of monica from friends! Great video

[@haleyzaik9190]

Omg I totally agree

[@seemycurls]

LOVE this video! Very creative! I am inspired! Can't wait for part 2!!

[@yeticonfetti3746]

[@katiewhite9536]

I feel sick now lol.

[@helena54]

[@helena54]

31 times she said umm

[@CorenaGaroutte]

I bet you speak 100% correctly. DONT JUDGE, UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE JUDGED

[@rachelallred]

+Corena Garoutte I agree wit u

[@sweetcountrylivinginmichigan]

Thank you Alejandra for all of your organizing ideas! I love how you have everything set up. What a great way to live your life. This has helped me so much. Thank you for helping all of us learn how to do this! I think I have watched all of your videos, and I re-watch as needed. You are awesome!!!!! I tell everyone about you!

[@Wub_Lub]

so much organizing stuff its too much XD what about a organizer ORGANIZER? :3 like organizing your organizing stuff that you dont use for the moment?

[@mariapinzon4079]

I love the ideas and you seem like such a kind, optimistic person and I just wanted to point that out because your air of positiveness and pride in you beautiful creations made me smile :) Love the video!

[@rosi3679]

Wow…wow… wow …hold up who does their homework right out of school ??!!

[@beorganizedbehappy4915]

This is brilliant! I'm always on the lookout for ways to repurpose every day household items. As I watched I realized I have everything needed to make the lazy susan! And the prescription bottle organizer is inspired. I always aim for little to zero waste and these ideas support my efforts. Thank you for your video and for being kind to the earth, as well! Off to watch part 2!

[@emolemur_6160]

Danny Tanner must be so proud.

[@amandamendez6071]

I LOVED the Lazy Susan with the two cake pans and marbles. Who woulda thought... :) Thanks so much for sharing!

[@azeezrizwan4271]

[@stellamantikou4978]

it's so motivational, thank you so much! (and btw I love your natural style of speaking, kind of shy but determined, so cute!) Let's get organized, diy style!!

[@brendaz5940]

Idk if it's just me but I felt bit nauseous after watching some her videos. She made everything TOO organized and it actually makes me stressful lol

[@echoravello]

Holy shit... lol you actually described the feeling. Organizing videos are like crack to watch but it's all. too. organized.

[@jessicale7904]

Same! It's nice to have some clutter. Not messy ones but just something that makes your home feel like a home.

[@destinya5627]

true lol! Apart of me was thinking, "kay, that's kinda nice," then the other part of me was like, "kay, what's wrong, destiny? why are you so uncomfortable?" lmaooo

[@scarlethangel1356]

ikr😐😐

[@teaganp964]

Yeah I think things should be sort of organized to where you can still find everything, but this is insane 😂

[@zeldasmalls2494]

The lazy susan...seriously...anyone thinking of trying it should DO IT. I now have three and I love them. Thanks Alejandra!

[@abby.tomlinson2355]

I feel like I can't do half of the stuff people diy because I don't have a hot glue gun 😂

[@Teachready1]

You are amazing! I have been more productive and more organized for the past two years because of you! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. You made me a better housewife and a mom. Thank you!!!

[@LivsFitz]

I love this girl lol she's so cute.

[@eysevera1162]

[@lethiapage4767]

that lazy susan made of cake pans and marbles is GENIUS. I don't even really like the store bought kind because the stuff usually flies off in the spinning. But this is actually better! Love it, and I'm enjoying all your videos. You offer a lot of really practical advice and you are just neurotic enough to be adorable. hahhah! :D Thanks!!

[@lucyryle3501]

the lazy Susan is cool, however the noise would annoy me like mad!!

[@JiniReddy]

Great Job Alejandra, I love the ideas. I recycle all the time, making various crafty projects (from cans, to pizza boxes). Got my 7yrs old recycling too. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next projects. :)

[@laurenloves1d407]

So was that fun to make?

[@zainabbashir494]

subbed cuz you're a directioner

[@annejeltema8181]

You are incredible! I saw you on GMA and I was not only intrigued, but started right away! My 5 items were my yoga mat, 2 pillows, the nutribullet box, moved the recycle items from the kitchen, and distributed the stack of mail. Oh, I also registered by new nutribullet. Thanks Alejandra!

[@laughaholic13]

You are awesome. Don't listen to the other idiotic people cuz that lazy Susan was wicked cool. I would make all of these!

[@SS-ne7ex]

Alejandra, what amazing ideas!!! You have the most un-intimidating diy organizational ideas! Things I actually know I can do myself! thanks for sharing!!!!

[@Bonstergirl1]

must cost you a fortune in duct tape lol..

[@kristinburton4138]

After saying, "It cost zero". lol

[@ciaomamabella]

Love your videos! I love how you reuse containers and reclaim items already in your house! Thank you!!!

[@Mini-ws1co]

The pizza box is bad. eventually thing are gonna fall all around.

[@clairdecat7630]

I absolutely love your Lazy Susan idea!!! So smart!

[@ddelopkwapn5985]

I think I am the only guy here lol.

[@aetherialovecraft9068]

That lazy Susan idea is BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for posting this!

[@aleshaelle7246]

Ale ale-jandra ale ale-jandra lol

[@gailnegroni3118]

I enjoyed all of your video Alejandra, I'm so motivated when I watched your video. It's perfect for me to organize my home now, because my girls just left for college so I have a lot of time to do stuff around the home. Once again thanks for posting these great video!!!

[@thomascampbell350]

Your name is so pretty and so are you

[@areiaalcober4748]

I've just moved houses, and I'm definitely trying this, thanks!!

[@sha8808]

gah. The loud breathing, plus that smacking sound she makes between words. It's so distracting. I'm sure her ideas are great but it's difficult to pay attention

[@thomaspigg306]

You've got alot of really neat ideas. I love that your frugal with your materials and designs!

[@karlabrewster8605]

I appreciate the tips...but, you talk too much....

[@ashleywise1820]

rude

[@SparklingSilverCurls]

Love this, especially the kids' study box and the lazy susan!!! Always inspired by you!

[@natashakhara2112]

@alejandra- stop making that weird clicking sound with your mouth every 20 seconds!!! It's super annoying!

[@hamsikapagadala1608]

RUDE

[@konsueloramirez]

go fuck yourself, i love that sound

[@briannavelasquez3752]

Rightttt

[@sherrygraham8650]

Are you always so rude?

[@konsueloramirez]

I LOVE THIS!!!! i have literally been watching your videos for the last 6 hours and i started organizing my house. THANK YOU ALEJANDRA❤

[@ameliajohn8334]

If you take a drink every time she smacks her lips then you'd have alcohol poisoning.

[@reaganroark]

so true

[@konsueloramirez]

i LOVE her lip smacking. it is actually a very powerful asmr trigger

[@Zoecat221]

the lazy susan out of marbles is GENIUS. I'm going to make my own now :D

[@miacorona1140]

Nope.. This vid was crap. She just stood there and talked about how she made the products, with no footage of her making it

[@miacorona1140]

And no music, just silence. To improve I would include music and footage of making the products.

[@miacorona1140]

Look guys, I have my opinion and you have yours, you may not agree with my view and I don't care if you do/don't just really? Because you don't like my opinion you are going to post hate?!? It's MY OPINION for god's sakes!!! 😂

[@tiffanyhorton9716]

+Mia Corona it was a rude comment and u tell us to not be rude makes no f cking sense

[@miacorona1140]

Tiffany Horton I may have been harsh but honestly its my opinion xD I included ways she could improve her videos as well, my comment was just some harsh constructive criticism. I commented this ages ago, good idea bringing it back up again xD *slow clap*

[@miacorona1140]

wrongname wrongeveryting Go learn how to spell before posting comments, I lost all respect for you when you posted your comment because of the spelling and grammar.

[@BellinaSkyBright]

woah, how did I miss this video?! FANTASTIC ideas, I love the homework caddy ...and the lazy susan!!!

[@Vero-jz5ex]

I find this woman sad

[@Vero-jz5ex]

***** ? do you watch her? just curious

[@lunaven9511]

Same

[@SarahPoulin]

Veronica Purcell Let me guess... your house is scary looking, and you're just jealous.

[@callmemisssociopath5744]

Michelle W Me 2....really.

[@laughaholic13]

I find her awesome. Her life must be so organized and crafty.

[@sabine0910]

Great ideas! I love DIYs - can't wait for part 2!

[@valeryjurado1155]

honestly STOP the lip smacking its sooo annoying

[@gwendolyngrayer4552]

I also love the marble lazy Susan . going to my dollar tree in the morning. All are great ideas. Now I can make some storage boxes of my shoes boxes. TFS.

[@andreaiyatunguk7034]

i hate when people smack their lips......... YUK

[@luv4grands]

Awesome Ideas...like the use of duck tape which makes the boxes stronger and prettier. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-lz2nr8qw4z]

Hi Alejandra! Thank you so much for the lazy susan idea. I just made two of them and I LOVE THEM! I want to do a couple more.

[@teresabaltazar8079]

Great ideas Alexandra. I never get bored watching your videos. A great little nudge to get me going around the home 🏠...Mom of 5

[@honeymoon.honeymoon]

You're a genius, Alejandra. Love your videos, they keep me sooo motivated. Blessings!

[@ZoieKP]

The lazy Suzie idea is brilliant! Never would have thought of that

[@charlierose575]

Omg you have just motivated my life , the lazy Susan is genius and the mail centre is awesome

[@stephaniesmith3544]

Thank you for all the effort you put into this video! It's great and the fact that you're so passionate about organisation makes it so refreshing. I feel more organised just watching your videos haha. A bit late, but I hope you had a happy New Year!

[@karenmishler8775]

Alejandra, I love your ideas! I made the lazy susan using dollar tree products and I love it. It's the perfect size for my small cabinet above my stove. Plus it can be disassembled if I need to bake a cake! As a side note, when it comes to DIY organizing, I love re-using Altoid tins. They're great for holding little things like bobby pins, safety pins, etc.
