Welcome to the Drawer Organization Blog Hop!
This month long blog hop has been such a great motivator for me to get my household drawers neat and organized. Have a look at our prior posts in the kitchen, office/craft room, and the bathroom.

I like to keep clothes that we don’t often wear in a chest of drawers that’s in one of our guest rooms. Over time, this has become a landing space for lots of clothes that should have found another space. A few oversized sports hoodies and some T-shirts are mixed in with winter pajamas and summer shorts. Nothing was organized at all.
While I was shopping at the Dollar Tree for plastic bins to use in lots of my other drawers, I spotted these canvas bins. They are a nice size for these drawers and if I fold the clothes neatly, lots of pieces will fit into each bin.
When I gave this old chest of drawers a makeover a couple of years ago, I lined the drawers with sea shell drawer liner.
Three bins fit just right in each drawer. I was relieved when they fit well since I didn’t bother to take measurements of the drawers before I bought the bins. Since they were only $1 each, I knew that even if they didn’t fit into this chest of drawers, I would find a use for them.
One bin holds winter socks that my husband rarely wears. The other two in this drawer have my painting clothes in them. These are shirts, pants, and shorts that I wear when working on a project that’s bound to be messy like painting. Rolling the shirts and shorts instead of folding them is an easy way to easily see what’s in each bin.
Another drawer has bins with lots of my summer shorts in them. Again, I rolled, rather than folded, the pieces.
I didn’t use bins in the top drawer. Instead, I used it to hold some large hoodies and rolled T-shirts that I don’t wear often.
Using canvas bins is an easy way to keep items separated and easy to find.

Beverly- YOur drawers look great! Those bins are such a steal for a $1. I also bought my bins & hoped they fit so luck was on our side. This has been so much fun getting organized.
Beverly says
Thanks, Jenny! I was happy when I found canvas bins at the dollar store! This has been a great blog hop. It’s definitely been beneficial to me.
Debbee says
I’m going to measure, and then head out for those great, cheap bins! Going to pick up some for my two adult sons whe also have limited space living in urban condos.
Beverly says
These bins were a great find! They aren’t nearly as thick as the pricier bins, but for inside of a drawer storage they are just right. Hope you find some, Debbee!
Erlene says
I’ve started roll folding and I love it because it’s so much neater and easier to find things. I like the idea of using bins to separate things. I use them in my sock drawer, but never thought to use it with tops/bottoms.
Beverly says
It really does keep drawers neater that way. Using the bins is just one more way to try to avoid the messiness that can take over!
Shirley Wood says
Beverly your drawers are so well organized!Those canvas bins caught our attention too! I also like to roll t-shirts because it seems to take up less space. I bought extra of those bins because they are so stinking handy. This challenge was really fun and I found so many good ideas and inspiration.
Beverly says
Thanks, Shirley! I enjoyed this blog hop! It was one that I definitely need. I’m feeling good about how organized everything is now. I was surprised and pleased to have found those canvas bins at the dollar tree.
Michelle James says
I had no idea that the Dollar Tree had these canvas tote bins. Wow! I am looking for some next time I am there. I love the rolled up clothes. That is a brilliant idea. I think I could keep that up better than a fancy fold to make it fit. Thank you!
Beverly says
I was surprised when I saw the canvas bins at the Dollar Tree, too! Rolling the clothes helps keep wrinkles our of T shirts, too, so it’s working for me. Thanks, Michelle!
Mary says
Great tip Beverly! It certainly helps to keep things organized and these bins cost almost nothing.
Beverly says
Those bins are great and finding them at the dollar tree was the best part! Thanks, Mary.
