Essential car care caddy

Since we love our beautiful - small family size - car , we like always to take care of it whenever we have time for that. We used to take it to the car wash stations whenever we feel it a little dusty or needs to be cleaned and washed. Buutttttt after having a little funny toddler setting in the car with all of these snacks and crackers we had to care about it a little bit more than before.

We like to wipe the dashboard , vacuum the floor and clean some stains on the seats from a time to time. And because my husband does a lot of driving in the morning and in the evening everyday, and because we go out sometimes in the holidays , a car care products and essentials caddy became a must.

Organizing shoes

In our entryway we have an Ikea BISSA shoes organizer. As a reason we used to have an empty entryway for a couple of years, we decided to buy some pieces of furniture to be pretty and also functional in the entryway, so we decided to buy this pretty shoes organizer as one of those pieces to store our daily worn shoes.

It was kind of organized at the beginning but a while later it started to become messy and jam-packed with flip-flops and shoes. It is a little bit of a shame to show you how it looked before.

How to organize ribbons

This is a lovely project I made few months ago. I organized my old and new ribbons in this small box and I spent ZERO BUDGET as usual.

This was a shoe box that I covered with contact papers and I organized all kinds of ribbons, threads and strings there. I also have my shiny tapes and wire rings.

I know this doesn't look fancy but it still looks pretty, organized, Sweet N Tidy. These are all my ribbons. New ribbons, old ribbons and even the remains. I will show you exactly what I have done here.

First of all I used to have big wide spools with small amount of threads or ribbons, so I turned  all similarities into one spool to have several empty spools so that I can use them for other ribbons which don't have spools. I started to turn the ribbons over the spool, and because the spool was so wide and the ribbons were thin the spool was happy to take several ribbons close to each other. I secured their ends with a hot glue drop for each. I made this for only ribbons that have the same size and colors because I am sure I will use only one of them - it doesn't make sense to open one secured ribbon while I already have an opened one that has the same color and shape - so I am sure now that I will use the ribbon freely with no effect to the other ribbons in the same spool because they are secured.


Some of the ribbons weren't have any spools. I made a DIY spool for them using plastic bags cardboard roll and two pieces of cardboard that I cut into circles, You can see them in the purple and the green ribbons.

I got grilling sticks and setup them into the box and have organized my ribbon spools inside them. To get the sticks more space to dig into, I added some pieces of thick tape.

For short ribbons, I cut these pieces of cardboard and covered them with duct tape then I turned around the ribbons over them securing the ends with pins or like the upcoming photo shows.

I secured the ribbons at the ends like that.

Sometimes I use those remaining pieces of ribbons to make a ribbon colorful balls so I secured them with rubber bands .

I used this small box to store them.

I had some shiny tapes that I grouped them all with some broken sticks.

So here we are. the final look
