Purchased:
• Decorative wooden pieces — $4.99 at thrift store
• Two pieces of 12x12 plywood — $4.99 at JoAnn Fabrics
Items I already had around the house:
• Mod Podge
• Foam brush
• White spray paint
• Gorilla Glue
Directions
1. Take three of the decorative wood pieces and glue each to one of the pieces of plywood. This will be the base for your organizer. Make sure that each of the wooden pieces is flush to the edges of the plywood.
2. Once dry, glue the second piece of plywood to the backside of your decorative wooden pieces.
3. Let dry completely.
4. Once dry, spray paint the entire organizer white. You will need to apply two coats of paint.
5. After the paint dries, use Mod Podge or an acrylic sealer and cover the entire piece.
6. Let dry completely. If you want to protect the top surface of your desk, add adhesive felt circles to the bottom of your organizer.
