How to organise a tool box according to Marie Kondo
The secret to the perfect toolbox organising? Jars! Of course! We love a storage jar, there are very few things you can't store in them and instantly feel like your life is more put together. You can pick up small jars like this from Amazon but we bet you can get a good collection going just by reusing old jars from your cupboards. Top tip: baby food jars are the perfect size for sorting loads of small screws and fittings.
Marie Kondo has shown this hack to sort out your toolbox, but we are thinking bigger. This could totally work to sort your gardening paraphernalia – seeds, string, labels, that sort of thing. You could also use this handy video to organise your bathroom drawers, your stationery drawer, that 'store everything that doesn't have a home' drawer, basically pick any drawer and use Marie Kondo's tip to get it looking beautiful.
