The Popsicle Stick Files

Another week has gone by and another one starts.  Getting closer to turkey day!  Have you started planning yet?  I haven’t but that is on my long list of to-do’s for the week.  Oh how I wish for longer days.

So…we had a little dilemma yesterday.

Movies come and go between the family room, bonus room, my daughter’s house, friends’ houses and the car. 

Mom (that would be me) likes to keep them nice, tidy and alphabetized.  When they aren’t, she feels like this:

It is Joey’s responsibility to make sure all movies are how mom likes them.  And when he lets them pile up, he feels like this:

So, Joey and mom put their pumpkin heads together and came up with a way to make filing the movies away a little easier:

All you need is this:

And you instantly have this:

(Applied to both sides)
Problem solved!

Yes…you do see a 4 sections of VHS tapes as well. They are from when my daughters (ages 22, 20 & 17) were toddlers!! Any ideas what to do with them? I hate to get rid of them…so many….so treasured.

Finally, I want to send a shout out to Jami at Freckled Laundry for featuring the headboard I made for my little (insert tear here) big guy.  Thank you Jami!

’til tomorrow,

    That was HILARIOUS! Your pumpkin faces had me laughing. Also, super swell idea!!!!

  6. That is so creative and cheap! I think it could be used to organize lots of other things as well. I am a new follower from Project Queen. Vicky from Mess For Less

  7. Smart thinking!!! Laurel@chippingwithcharm

  8. Here's an idea for your old VHS tapes…I have started to crochet market bags out of cassette tapes and VHS movies. If you don't crochet, maybe you know someone who does! I just came upon your blog and haven't read any other posts yet.

  9. What a fabulous idea! We always struggle to decide how we will sort our dvd's this is such a practical solution and it looks great. Thanks for sharing your tip!

  13. Love your idea. My only thought was that the popsicle sticks will get pushed in – which could get annoying. Thinking paint stir sticks …..

  14. Infarrantly Creative says:

    That is brilliant and you have so much more than we do so this totally makes sense. I love that idea.

  15. You can convert all your VHS tapes to digital format. Otherwise the tape may deteriorate as well as the need to have a VHS player years from now if you want to watch them.
