  • All you have to now is paint this organizer.You can color this as you like .Anyway I recommend fabric paint because it colors great.I used scarlet orange and black and the organizer looks great with the combination of these colors.
  • This organizer has five categorized file holders.Now take a long piece of colored paper and write the names of the five working days in the week and paste it to the file holder to categorize each.
  • The purpose of the above step is that you can categorize and organize your work to each day according to a time table.
  • Hope you enjoy.Thank for viewing. Don't forget to add a comment.
