Fill this bad boy with all your desk stuff to keep things tidy.

When it comes to keeping our desk stuff tidy, there’s nothing like an organizer that’s both functional and fantastic looking. With this simple DIY project, everything from note pads, calculators, mail, pens, pencils, scissors and paper clips have their special place that’s easy to access and easy to use. There’s even a ruler row! Make this beautiful DIY desktop stuff organizer for yourself or gift it to a clutter-challenged friend.

Mahogany wood was the star of this how-to show, but you can use any type that floats your boat. You can also add other details and customize this bad boy to fit your individual needs.
