Now that the shed-shop is finally renovated, I have been able to focus my attention on some smaller, much needed workshop organization projects! But, with lumber being so expensive, I wanted to create some storage options using what I had on hand. So, I created three DIY workshop organization projects in one weekend using scraps!

Workshop organization projects don’t have to be complicated or expensive! I was able to make three separate projects happen with the use of some leftover scraps. I was also able to label everything (which makes me so happy) thanks to the Brother P-touch Pro Label Maker!
To help organize all three projects, I broke them all down in this blog post to include my materials lists and basic step-by-step. Make sure to stop by my YouTube channel for all of the full tutorials!
1. DIY Charging Station
My chargers have always been a point of organizational stress in my workshop. I can’t deal with all of the wires and have never had one spot to store them all. So, I decided to create my own charging station to house my chargers (and hide the wires)!
To simplify this project a bit, I did end up creating a basic cabinet with some holes in it (if that helps any)! I also added some wire tags to each wire using my Brother P-touch Pro Label Maker and the Cable Flag option (so good)!

2. DIY Wood Organization Bins
When I had a full pegboard wall, I had bins that housed my brad nails. But, now that I’ve simplified my back wall, it was time for a new system. So, I decided to make super simple bins for my brad nails and organize them by size! How cute are those little labels!? Since the Brother P-touch Pro Label Maker has three sizing options for their fonts, I was able to perfectly fit my little labels on these boxes in a few quick steps!

3. DIY Sandpaper Storage
When I first organized my workshop, I opted to use takeout bins for sandpaper storage. Don’t get me wrong, these little bins totally worked, but they aren’t really the right size for my discs, and I had to store the sandpaper with the adhesive side up to see which grit I was grabbing. So, I decided to create custom sandpaper storage to fit in my workbench instead! Even better, I was able to use my Brother P-touch Pro Label Maker to create cute labels for each grit… and since their system has 300 symbols to choose from, I was able to add cute little arrows too!
