Organizing Shoes

5 Minutes
Easy
I love turning clutter and free stuff into actual organizing solutions. Let's organize shoes in about 3 minutes with just 2 supplies: one that you probably already have, and one that is free.
Start with a pile of shoes. Sort and purge them. Put like sizes together and let go of the ones that just don't fit anymore.
Add a rectangular tote, like this one from Thirty-One. I'm betting you already have something like this.
Insert dividers from wine boxes. Free at local wine and liquor stores. Here in PA, the stores are called Fine Wine & Good Spirits. Kinda cracks me up. As if there is any other kind worth selling. Anyway, we're interested in their case dividers today.
These are little girl shoes size ~10. This will certainly work for bigger shoes, but with only one shoe per slot depending on the size. This is a great way to store children's shoes as you pass them down from one kid to the next, or to use for off-season storage.


Go forth and


I hope you found this storage solution helpful and easy to do. To find more easy storage solutions please check out my website http://www.heartworkorg.com. Daily projects in January on Facebook or join our rockin' Clutter-Free group for even more organizing inspiration.

    this is a great idea. I do have two of these Thirty-One bags. Bought them cause they were cute and during special cause fundraisers. Figured great for campings and outings. Which are now about never!! But what a great idea for these bags. I love it. I always have shoe storage issues and this is a great way of packing them and keeping an area tidy. Can go on the bottom of the closet shelf and can easily be pushed back. Love it. Thanks so much.
