This especially comes in handy if you’re using opaque cubes or bins, so you can easily finds where all your essentials are stashed.

Similarly, writable vinyl works perfectly for labeling important folders and document sleeves. Rather than stressfully searching for a lost document, forgotten somewhere in the archives, crafting small folder labels for desk drawers or binder sections can help you find exactly what you need in no time.

Pretty but protective tech cases

Even when sitting atop your desk, it’s important to keep your tech protected from any dust, spills, or accidental dings. Crafting a sturdy sleeve or case allows you to stow and stash your tech and lesson the chance of damage. Add a personal touch to store-bought cases with vinyl and iron-on designs, or go one step further with this sewable vinyl case that shows off your tech without compromising protection.

Wall organizers and boards

Many workspaces, especially home offices, have wall space that can serve as additional room for organization. Moving small notes, photos, and art to the wall clears up precious desktop surface area. Installing a pegboard feature for the display of photos and other personal memorabilia is a great way to bring a bit of encouraging fun and positivity to your desk! You can also add a simple corkboard with fun and colorful accents to help keep track of important notes in a visually pleasing way.
