The Lock Up understands that organizing is imperative when you\u2019re dealing with \u201cstuff\u201d&#8230;we also recognize that some \u201cstuff\u201d can actually come to the rescue while organizing other \u201cstuff\u201d. So, we\u2019ve gathered life hacks together that will help you get your home in order.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine Rack<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t keep wine around long enough to store on your wine rack, repurpose it! Wine racks are great for organizing your clutch purses, and if it\u2019s a nice design, it can serve as a towel holder in your bathroom. Simply roll the towels and place in each rung.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Velcro<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t already have this in your home, you need it. Velcro is the ultimate organizing tool. Use it everywhere to secure items in place, or to create a holding spot for an item so that it doesn\u2019t get lost. We like the idea of placing a bit of velcro on items that have a remote control&#8230;that way the two can stay together, even during storage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice Cube Trays<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organize your messy drawers with ice cube trays (there always seems to be one too many of them in the freezer anyway). They\u2019re great for small items like jewelry, craft items or desk items.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper Towel Holder<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of a roll of paper towels, place all your ribbons onto the spindle. Voila! Instant storage and easy access.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hanging Shoe Organizer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t limit yourself to placing shoes in these handy life organizers. Use one in the pantry to store your extra paper towel rolls (much more convenient than how they\u2019re packaged when you buy them in bulk). These shoe organizers are also perfect for your front closet because they can organize scarves, gloves and hats in the winter.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have an organizing life hack that uses something you already have in your home?
