 Hey guys. How are you today? So these are a couple of drawers out of my wooden drawer units that are actually that way behind where the camera is on my table up against the wall. Each unit has three drawers in it like this and it's all full the whole thing's full of tape different kinds of tape but all full of tape Some couple drawers a washi tape One drawer of like bookbinding tape one drawer of like metal tapes, and then I had two of these drawers full of washi tape Now this drawer used to look like that drawer Just it was just shoved in there I love washi tape like all of you all I'm sure and I'm kind of amassing a bit of a collection the problem is when it gets to be like this You can't find anything. I didn't really want to change out the system that I have the drawers work So I needed to figure out how to make them work better I also Take a few medications blood pressure medication among one of them not that you need to know that I have my medications packaged by pill pack For a lot of different reasons, which we don't need to get into it for this video Mostly though that because I can't remember to take them otherwise and pill pack nicely puts the date on them For each packet that I need to take each day. Otherwise, I forget anyway They come in these clear plastic these clear boxes and this box comes in a really nice cardboard box Which I also have been saving I'm gonna have to do like Shannon though and Shannon green and when the space I have them in is full I have to stop saving them. That's gonna be hard. But anyway, I Was throwing these clear plastic ones away and then it dawned on me I could use these to make inserts for my tape washi tape drawer So I took one of these boxes and I sliced it in a half and Then I reconfigured it and taped it together and used a couple of scraps from the boxes to make some tabs And I made these little trays that fit into my washi tape drawer So I have one here in the bottom It doesn't have any tabs on it because it doesn't really need to have them It's gonna stay on the bottom and it's full of the tape and I can quickly at a glance see what I have And I have some like tall things that are over here I could put more tape there and then that upper tray has these little tabs on it So I can easily get it in and out and it's got the rest of the tapes in it So I'm gonna show you how I did that because I have to still do this drawer and Let's do that. I also These are kind of These were the first ones I did like the demo one and I just put them together with packing tape So the one thing I'm going to do is cover the whole thing where it's attached to each other and reconfigured with Duck tape because I think it's a little more sturdy so Move this one and this one out of the way And the first thing we're going to do is cut our pill back pill pack box in half Along the sides so It's about three inches three. It's three and an eighth to be technically accurate. So we're gonna do like one in a 16th Approximately you don't have to be exact. This is a drawer insert. So, you know, it doesn't need to be exact It also doesn't need to be very high when I did the first one I cut it a little bit taller and It doesn't need to be that tall If you don't have too many like plastic boxes, whatever packaging that you're using You know, it just needs to be tall enough to hold the tape rolls in and without having a roll all over the place So once I have two opposite sides marked I can sort of connect the black dots on the other two sides The cap on that so I don't want to get sharp yell over my hand, right? Let's Cut along the black line. I think when I did this before I did it with scissors You could definitely use scissors if that's what you have and like I said, don't worry about being straight It doesn't, you know, I don't know. I guess if you're really particular then you would worry about being straight I'm definitely If it's close enough, it's a good enough kind of girl. So So I'm okay with it if it's a little wonky And I saved up now I have I have an extra one of these boxes. So if I mess up I have An extra one parts thick. Let me get some scissors. It might be easier. I think I used scissors last time This wonky tab on this side too. So let's cut that so the first thing I wanted to do was Fix this But we also have this little hole here. I want to cover up. So I'm gonna stick take a scrap Plastic in the box and cover up the hole. There we go We need to here's one of the ones so we need to if I put just these two side-by-side it's too big for the drawer So I need to cut this down and honestly I did the first one Which is in the bottom of the drawer and then to do this one I did just this with the first one and I just lined it up and Then I marked This box I actually want to do it this way. Okay, and then I just marked it like low-tech no math I don't have the brain power for lots of math. So it's not gonna happen and then just cut across Because otherwise this is gonna be too big Okay, and then you want to put this one with this one Right And we want to tape it together so that the whole thing will stay together I told you low-tech low Everything I love pill pack because they put my vitamins in with my medications So don't forget to take anything anymore. Plus they send it in this really great packaging That I can reuse And even the little envelopes of pills come in I've used them before like in my journals to create little pockets It's very cool. All right. So now all these little things need to be taped Tape tape tape and more tape over this way. There we go Now we have an insert for our drawer So you need to make two of these and one will go on the bottom and one will go on the top and on the top One I'd recommend putting a couple little tabs that way you can lift it up to see what's underneath and then what Yeah, it's perfect. Okay, so then my idea was To take some of my duct tape Which I don't have nearly as much of as a washi tape But I don't have any more room for a duct tape and I was gonna cover the sides. I Thought this would just make it a little stronger and make it, you know last a little longer And again, this isn't to make it look pretty As much as to make it stronger. So, you know, if it's not perfectly straight. I'm not really too worried about it Don't have that up arm strength that used to there we go So then we just need to clip the corners And this will this will strengthen it a lot I'm gonna run one across here. There we go. And so now that's nice and strong now Now if you wanted you could put some here too I don't think you really need it because you have it on either side and across the bottom I would definitely though on this one like I think I'm gonna cover the tabs with duct tape. So then Before I make the next one I'll show you so fun. This is the fun part It's always fun just dump out the duct tape everywhere put these over here move this one The other thing I need to do is I need to see because I have some duplicate tapes So I need to see what I what's up with that So then you can just line your tapes up now you can do them By size when I the first time I did this I didn't do that Because I was just in a hurry to get the drawer clean I do have some of this like scotch brand which is like scotch tape And it actually doesn't cut doesn't tear it cuts. I've been using it at my desk So I've been finding a few of these and I'm gonna pull that out. There's another one and you just fill your whole Box up your little tray up that you have with your tapes And you can see them Easily so much better than the way it was just jumbled in a drawer So much easier for me to find tape when I want to use a piece of washi tape And not just continually using only the ones that are on the top Which is part of the problem I evidently really like that that tape too because I have some in this other drawer over here once I get all these drawers made I'm gonna go through everything and Kind of put like tapes together So then that fits right in there And I can put spare tapes like like duplicates like this one Down here in the side. So I'm gonna make another One of these and I'm gonna cover all them all with duct tape and I'll be back in a minute Tape drawers are all nice and organized and neat and I can find everything And there's a little bit of room to grow back there I did find some tapes that I either had too many duplicates of and Although I like them. I don't like them that much. I don't like them at all So and now I can't get this back in here always when they can turn the camera on right so I have some so I have some tapes to purge and I also was going through stencils the other day and I have the full set of Andy Skinner stencils from deco art because I'm one of the deco art artists and I'm in their helping artists program And I have these that are extra and these are ones I purchased Before I became a deco art helping artist. So I'm starting a box here that I think is going to be a giveaway box at some point It may be a purge box, but I don't think so. I'm gonna it's gonna be a good long while It will be until after Christmas before I do anything with it in the meantime. I'm gonna still clean things and toss stuff in here and Yeah, it might be a end up being a bigger box, but I'll let y'all know so but in the meantime I got some extra tape All right, I think that's it for right now, and I'm gonna go have some lunch because it's about that time Probably pass that time.
