Today’s post is another project from my recent Stampin’ Up! team meeting, I wanted something to try and tidy up my desk…… I’m sure you can relate, a crafters desk is never tidy…….!
I designed it to perfectly hold 2 pots of Tombow glue, 3″ post it notes and then a large section for al the other bits and pieces. Below are some pictures and then if you scroll down further I have a video for you and all the measurements too ! Now I would love to see your pictures, of your messy desks, and of course the Desk Tidy that you can now make !!!!!
