To perform this trick, you’ll need to cut a slit in the top of the plastic lid of your coffee container. If the lid is thin enough, you can even try using a single-hole punch, assuming you only want to weave a thin piece of string through it. Once this part of your organization project is complete, all you need to do is fill each container with thin rope or string and voilà! You’ll be organizing your garage like a pro.
The great thing about this hack is that you can use it elsewhere in your home too. If you love to crochet or knit, you can use this trick to keep your yarns organized. Plus, you can use an old shoe rack and store your makeshift storage containers on each shelf to improve the clutter in your garage. If these containers are sitting around in plain sight, you might not want to see a coffee company logo on them, so don’t be afraid to decorate them! For cylindrical containers, you can use contact paper. If you’re using containers with bumps, grooves, and handles, reach for chalk paint. It sticks to virtually any surface, so pick a few different shades and have fun with it. If you have other items to organize, like small children’s toys, reuse old coffee cans to keep those items neat—just be sure to use the plastic versions of these containers and avoid sharp metal edges.
