Does your car scream “Organize Me” ? I feel like mine should have someone wash and organize it, but no little elves have shown up in the night yet to do the job. Last weekend, I decided to take matters in my own hands and solve some big problems once and for all, namely plan out some organization strategies for the car I practically live in sometimes. The car sure looks as if I live in it whether I do or don’t 😉 Perhaps you can relate? I hope your car is not quite as messy as mine was, but no matter what the current state, if you want a car that looks professional and clean, even if you happen to share it with a couple of kids, then I have the perfect list of DIY ideas for you. From trash caddies to emergency supplies solutions to things that will make life easier and neater with small children, you are sure to find some cool car organizers and life hacks here. Easy sewing projects, dollar store craft ideas, trunk storage solutions and basic tips for keeping a clean automobile, SUV, van or truck. Make some of these DIY ideas this weekend so you can start enjoying your car again.
