This back to school season has presented an interesting challenge for us. Little M has started caring about accessories. (Oh my are we that close to the tween years?)
Clips, headbands, lip gloss, hair ties… the list goes on and on. I’ve already started finding these adorable little pieces everywhere. Since getting back on my 30 minute a day cleaning routine is part of what I care about right now rounding up accessories became a soar spot real quick.
I’ve been working with Bounty over this past year and once again they had the answer I was looking for. It took 2 empty paper towel rolls to solve this organizing problem!
DIY Accessory Organizer for Girls
What you need: Accessories (hee hee), paper towel rolls, pretty tape, a small box, scissors
- The box. We had the perfect size gift box lid, but it would be very easy to make your own box.
- The holders. Cut the paper towel tube. I needed five rings to keep a tight fit. Test as you go. How many bracelets will it hold? How tall does the headband tube need to be to keep the headbands from falling?
- Make it pretty. I used washi tape and duct tape.
- Find a home. Where is the best place for the accessories? I made it small enough to fit in the medicine cabinet but Little M loved it so much she put it in her room.
Over this past year of working with Bounty we have done some fun things with paper towels. We made a list of kitchen chores for kids and experimented with color.
I have come to rely on the NEW Bounty with Dawn as a kitchen necessity. I use this multi-purpose, durable towel for cleaning up after prepping chicken and big jobs like cleaning grease out of the stove. Because Bounty with Dawn is water activated with the long lasting power of Dawn and the new ultra durable Bounty I know one towel can handle the job. I’ve also added a roll to my camping supplies and I can’t wait for a reason to try them out for that.

Backpacks. I had to figure out where I could conveniently put backpack so that we wouldn’t lose or forget them. So I created an area for hanging them. Now we have a backpack station! With a board for notes, basket for gloves and a bench for a quick sit! I love it! No more backpacks on the floor! Woot woot!
Oh my goodness, what doesn’t? We definitely do and we are working on getting the back-to-school routines down. Definitely want to make our own accessory organizer. Want to try to make some a little heavier duty to mount on the wall in the bathroom. Will see when we get to it. (Finally finished an online class and have to schedule the two tests for licensing.)
YAY Jen!!! Good for you finishing the exam.
Thanks. 🙂 Thanks for your help and encouragement. Will write you more later. Still crazy busy.
My car! We have a minivan, and every day there would be a mess to deal with! Now that everyone is back to work and school, we have trash bags in the van for when we eat/drink on the run, we have designated spots for everyone’s bags, and we can get in and out of the van without stumbling!
My craft supplies need a major overhaul!!
Lunch… Preparing the night before instead of rushing in the morning
I need something that will help my teenage son organize his homework better. I am sure his teachers are tried of hearing that his dog ate his homework because he misplaced it.

So many things need organizing in our house! My closet and my room in general, as well as the kitchen. We definitely need to work on it.
The closets! I had to reorganize the clothes that were once neatly put together as outfits on hangers. Over the summer my daughters had gone wild hanging stuff willynilly until I couldn’t tell whose clothes were where, what went with what, what was school clothes or play clothes, what fit and what didn’t…mornings do NOT go well when the 9 year old can’t find her clothes because they have been put in the 2 year old’s closet!

Our closets need much reorganizing this year! Every kiddo in the house is not the same size that they were before the summer for some reason and there was lots of handing sizes down and storing away, going on in my house!
time management! With two boys playing football, and two toddlers taking naps I had to get a planner to keep track of practices and games! So far so good!
Every room but the bathroom needed redone because my kids started high school so we changed things around to help prepare them into another chapter of their lives. The main room was my kitchen area because as the kids are older and more independent I felt the need to make it easier for all of us in this area.
The worst organizing nightmare is my main floor bathroom. It is so small I am not exhadurating when I say it’s a all in one spot you can do it all from the toilet. My bathroom is always filthy from the lack of space and rushed schedules.
Everything! Especially our pantry and office.
