How to Organize a Nature Display
Thursday, January 5th, 2012Are you looking for nature display ideas? You’ve come to the right place! I’m Susan Evans, your homeschool organization guru, and today I’m going to show you how to organize a beautiful nature display.
First you will need some sort of wooden shelf with compartments. I got mine at a yard sale for $3.- It had no backing on it, so I went to the store and bought a posterboard that was black and very stiff. (You can also use black velvet board.) The black color really pops to help make your display look gorgeous, by the way.
- I cut the posterboard to size. Then I used an industrial stapler to stick it to the back of the display. (You can use the industrial stapler for other home decorating projects, so I recommend getting one.)
- After I had the backing on the display, I wanted something strong to hold it up because you’re going to have nature collections that include objects that are heavy. So you want a heavy-duty wire, and then use your industrial stapler to staple the wire into both sides on the edges.
- Here are some items you can have in a nature display: fossils, a bird’s nest, rocks and minerals, feathers, animal sculls, snake skins, pine cones, seeds, seashells, moss, old cocoons, blue egg shell from robins, etc.
- The items are just leaned up against the back. If you don’t want the items to slip down, you can put a little tiny dab of hot glue on the back that would hold it in place.
Now you have a nifty, fabulous nature display area for your homeschool. If you would like more ideas on Organizing for a Fun Homeschool, I have a two-hour video workshop where I show you every room in my house just like this. Go check it out!
How to Organize Shoes
Monday, February 7th, 2011
When you walk into your home, does a mountain of shoes cause you to trip? One simple way to organize shoes is to get a metal shelf to go beside your front door. You will have to train your children to put their shoes neatly on the shelf as soon as they come in. This simple tip for organizing shoes can help to cut down on the constant mess in your entry way.
Similarly, you can put up a short bookshelf, with the shelves adjusted closer together for the bottom part. The top part can have hooks for hanging up jackets.
You can also have square wooden cubbies, where each square is assigned to a child, so that your son can put his shoes into the assigned cubby as soon as he walks in the door. You could have a cubby for tennis shoes and a cubby for sandals.
You can store shoes that you seldom use (or shoes that are out of season) in boxes high in your closet or in the garage.
If you don’t have a coat closet, you can put coat hooks into your wall either individually or along a strip of wood. You can find those at a hardware store, and the hooks don’t cost very much. It will be well worth it to have your front entryway look better so that those guests who come in don’t trip over and fall on their faces.
