Make a desk organiser


Create with paint! Projects from habitat by Resene

Easy DIY: Desk organiser

Make a desk tidy

Messy desk, messy life, so they say. Even if you disagree with the sentiment, there’s something calming about having an organised desk that lets you concentrate on being productive on the work that matters. Keep your desktop clutter free with this clever DIY desk organiser. We’ve used a green/blue paint palette, but feel free to get creative with colours that you love.

You will need: Timber base, batten lengths to fit across the base, liquid nails, Resene testpots in Resene Elephant, Resene Dali, Resene Rolling Fog, Resene Riptide and Resene Fringy Flower, Resene roller and tray, masking tape (optional, for patterns).
