Repurpose: Watch Battery Storage Box

Using a container box with multiple drawers is an excellent system to store little items. Those small, finger-and-thumb held things are randomly around the house, and no one can ever find them when they’re being sought. I repurposed a commercially used watch battery box to create a single, comprehensible place where they could be found.
 
Before and After
What I used:
  • watch battery storage box
  • scissors
  • washi tape
  • label maker

Step 1) Removed existing adhesive labels to create a clear and smooth surface.

Step 2) Cut and applied a strip of washi tape to each drawer to form around the sides and underneath the handle.

Step 3) Designed, printed, and adhered labels to each drawer. Put items into drawers. 


Step 4) Alphabetized drawers for easy reference and arranged empty drawers for future use.



Finished! Now all the little things have a clear, permanent home.
