It’s Back to School season and that means time to organize!

Keeping your desk neat and tidy is easy with this DIY Desk Organizer made by re-purposing an $8 drying rack from Bed Bath and Beyond in three easy steps.

1. Spray drying rack with a primer and let dry.
2. Spray two coats of the colour of your choice and let dry.
3. To provide extra protection, top with a clear shellac coat, let dry and start organizing!

If you’re baking for your Valentine this week, here’s an easy DIY to wrap up the goods in a heart filled way!

You’ll a need a heart shaped punch lever, tissue paper, wax paper, paper towel, an iron set to medium-high heat, and ribbon.

Simply start by folding the tissue paper in half and then half again, you may be able to fold it in half again depending on your punch lever.  I found that if I did the paper would get caught, so I left it at two folds.  Use the punch lever to cut out hearts, depending on how densely you want them spread out and how big a sheet you need for your baking will dictate how many hearts you’ll cut out.
