Small Space Hacks | Using Photo Boxes for Alternate Storage Solutions

[@traceycosta9196]

This is the video I needed. I bought a few packs of the photo boxes and used what I needed for photos and still have some left with not sure what to do with them. I now need to buy some more as had no idea for all these uses. I have charger cables in ziplock bags which would work so much better in these boxes. Thankyou so much! Love your videos 🤗

I like this look for you. The make-up color & lipstick color is more flattering. Also, your manner is more relaxed & not so frantic. I love your videos & the summit is awesome!!!

[@krystalrussell4350]

A+ all the way. I love how it's labeled.

[@lisahale6593]

I love this! I bought a storage container full of 4x6 photo boxes at Michael’s & I wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to use all of the boxes. Wow! So many excellent ideas! Now I’m super inspired! Thank you Laura 💙

[@GetOrganizedHQ]

Glad it was helpful!

[@susanhoward2305]

The case and photo boxes were on sale. I couldn’t resist. Didn’t know what I was going to do with them 🤦‍♀️ It’s so amazing when my Higher Power sends me exactly what I need ❤

[@adz5bneweng589]

Also great for seed packet storage!

[@debbiebriggs8705]

Great ideas. Gotta get me some boxes.

[@bitrudder3792]

Thanks for the tip! I scored two modular Iris tote boxes with photo boxes (4X6) - on sale at Joann, and joined the other commenters who use them for storing seed packets!

[@stampinatnight]

Thanks for the inspiration!

I use the colored photo storage boxes in my classroom for mini erasers. Manipulatives and other counting materials.

[@lgn52]

Loved all the ideas! I went to Michael's online & they have the large Recollections box WITH 16 of the photo boxes included for $14.99 which is a really great deal in case you want to share with your subscribers. I just ordered online & then did curbside pickup.

[@GetOrganizedHQ]

That is a great deal!

[@krystalrussell4350]

I didn't think of that. :(

[@lindamanson1827]

I use thes in the console of my car, and the glove box to keep small things corralled. I use both the 4x6 and the 5x7, depending on what and where they are stored. I use them for planner stickers and labels from Dollar tree, and for batteries to sort by size. I like the small oblong eye shadows, with 6 colors, from Dollar a Tree and I can store several of these in these boxes, along with The brushes, eye liner and mascara for trips. It keeps them all together in my suitcase or carry on and takes way less room than a makeup bag, plus I can see through it. I store beading projects in them for making bracelets and I can keep the beads for the project with the needles and findings and instructions. I do peyote size beads for bead weaving with several different colors of the tiny beads and 3 or 4 or more bead tubes fit in here perfectly . It works for small cross stitch projects too. Again, They are see through, so I can find the right project at a glance. I could go on, but as Laura said...the possibilities are endless!! I love these boxes.

Love these ideas!

I use a case of these to store all my seed packets!

[@maureenmerchant2410]

I was just thinking of doing the same thing!

[@lhs1221]

Really smart ideas. I did not think of all these uses for these, thanks so much!

[@lindawoodfill503]

Great 👍 idea 💡! Love your tips !

[@patsteele2120]

Oh I love those. They are awesome for every room in the house.

[@juanitasimeon8869]

Great ideas! Thank you!

[@luciagiovanniello3812]

Such great ideas! Thanks for the suggestions!

[@margueritemiller6286]

What a great Idea!! I will be ordering today. I can already think of lots of things to put in them. Really enjoyed your video.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you.

[@sleeplessinchicago9082]

I use these boxes to store most of my jewelry collection.

[@sandrafisher2280]

Great uses for the photo storage boxes. Guess I'll be buying some soon to put to use in my house.

[@lgn52]

Check Michael's. They have the large Recollections box WITH 16 of the smaller photo boxes included for $14.99 which is a really great deal.

Could you send me a link for the big clear box at the end of this video?

[@nenascheidecker839]

Love this!

[@GetOrganizedHQ]

Photo boxes are terrific, aren't they?!?

[@krystalrussell4350]

If they aren't in the package do I rubber band them or...?

[@debbienorton4310]

Those are awesome! Didn't know they made those. Looks like my office will finally get organized! What did you use to make the labels?

[@GetOrganizedHQ]

I used my Dymo label maker.

[@dianaweber4396]

@@GetOrganizedHQ Do you have a video that you show which Dymo label maker you have?

[@bitrudder3792]

Portable Brother labelers are fun as well, but the Dymo that I still have from the olden days doesn’t need any electricity! On the other hand, my vision isn’t exactly what it used to be and I am appreciating the bigger print that I can make with the Brother labeler. if you have a computer printer at home you can also create labels on plain paper or colored paper, with the size of font that you want. Cut it out and tape it to the inside of the box where you want to be able to read it. I have done that on so many different clear plastic drawers and I love it! I just use a little dab of clear tape to hold it in place and clean it well when it’s time to switch what’s in the drawer or the box!

[@ellenhardison7033]

It concerns me that the containers are larger thst most of what's in them. I was taught the container should fit the product. Not bigger than you need. Is there a logic im missing

[@donnajmoses259]

Love the bare feet! and love your bookcase behind you! I am a ladybug so it gives me joy to see it aesthetically pleasing to the eye!

[@alfusca9824]

For anyone watching this from Australia - Kmart has the photo storage boxes within a larger carry case for around $15 (I think). I use them for our first aid kit. Can’t attach photo, sorry. They are called ‘photo and craft storage box’ and they’re in the crafting section at Kmart

Thanks for the tip!

Do you have a link for the Container Store Multi-purpose bin? Which size?

[@GetOrganizedHQ]

Here's the link: www.iheartplanners.com/MultiPurposeBin. I think I used the medium

[@AJoh635]

@@GetOrganizedHQ How many photo boxes fit in the medium multipurpose bin? And are those the 4x6 or the 5x7 photo boxes inside?

[@nebster4ever]

How many photo containers fit in the multipurpose bin? Also, did you use the medium size bin!

[@claudial8600]

So did you figure out the size of the MPB? THAT was my question too!

[@Isabel_fit]

That looks like the medium size bin

[@colettedoss4563]

Did you use 4x6 or 5x7 size of photo boxes?

She said 4x6 at the beginning
