I come from a long line of non-crafty people. It’s just in my blood. My mom isn’t crafty. My maternal grandma wasn’t crafty. Neither was her mom…or probably her mom before her. None of my aunts are crafty. My sisters aren’t crafty. Oh, we try. I remember making these little rake magnets for a craft show in high school because we had to. I’m pretty sure they didn’t sell well. I’ve blocked it out. My niece is sort of crafty when she’s in the mood. You get the point.
I’ve been meaning to “try” to use my essential oils more often, but they were in a slightly inaccessible place. Slightly inaccessible because my son has boots and an old television that should be in the basement in front of where I was keeping them. It is an ongoing struggle keeping up with his stuff, but that is a story for another day. When I go to our local grocery store, I try to look in their closeout section, and I’ve been looking for a cute basket to hold my essential oils. I haven’t been able to find an appropriate sized one.
Today as I was looking around and saw this STERILITE 3 Drawer Mini Unit
Organize essential oils with these mini drawers
Last year, I found a cute scrapbook set in the closeout section of my local grocery store. My daughter had been looking for a scrapbook for a project at school, and it had cute paper in it and was less than $5! We each bought one because I figured I could use mine for something eventually. Rather than just store my oils in the plain old mini drawers, I decided to bling it up a bit with my scrapbook paper.
It was so easy. The hardest part was cutting straight lines since I still haven’t perfected that skill. It’s also inherited. My mom still remembers when one of her teachers couldn’t understand why she couldn’t draw a straight line. And she wasn’t allowed to cut cakes at church functions either….You get the idea.
Don’t judge my cutting skills. Just appreciate the adorableness of these scrappy pieces!
I think it is cute and now I have it in the living room with all of my other comfort items. It fit 26 essential oil bottles, and I have room for a few more. Now that it is where I can see it, I’ll be more apt to use my oils and get their benefits! Plus now I feel crafty and more organized.

That is a great way to keep your oils organized. My sister in law is into essential oils and could definitely stand a little more organization!! She will love this.
I can’t believe it took me so long to figure out that they’d fit in this lol! Yes, tell her to get a little mini drawer unit!
I think i have one of those bins already. Easy to decorate and my oils are organized. Easier to find and use
Exactly! Much more convenient!
This is a great way to store your essential oils. I have all of mine in a basket right now but this looks like a much better system.
I had mine in little baskets, but it is easier to see what they are this way.
This looks like a great way to keep essential oils organized. I don’t have enough yet to need something of this size, but I’m sure I’ll get there soon!
Once I started, I needed more lol! I’m sure you will too!
Wow, this is so smart and a very good way to keep your essential oils organized! I need to do this for mine, they are everywhere. :0)
Thanks! I feel more organized at least lol.
I love those containers. I have them at work organizing the condiments I bring in and use for lunches 🙂
That is a great idea too!
I’m not a crafty person either, I never have been. I try to find ideas like this that will work for me while fitting into the rest of the house.
Me too, and that are useful!
This is a clever idea to keep essential oils organized. I have mini drawers like that where I keep computer related stuff like flash drives, external hard drives, memory cards and back up power cells. I love the way you spruced yours up to make it look pretty.
Mini drawers sure come in handy!
I decorate a lot too or just try to personalize my items as much as I can. I usually end up with several cans of spray paint around the home.
It’s fun to have your stuff personalized to your personality!
What a great idea! I don’t have any EO’s at the moment but if or when I do, this would be a really great idea!
Once you start getting them, it’s hard to stop lol!
I recently started experimenting with different essential oils so my collection is small, but growing every week! It’s definitely time for me to consider getting them all organized! Thank you for this great DIY idea doing just that!
You’re welcome! I know. You keep accumulating more and more!
That’s cute! I love those little containers. I’m pretty sure I need more of these in my closet. Thanks for the fun idea!
You’re welcome. They do come in handy!
That is just too cute and I can’t wait to make one. I’ve got essential oils everywhere and it would be great to organize them.
Thanks! It does help a lot!
What a great way to organize all kids of fun things.
Thanks!
I love this. Such a great idea to keep them so organized. I need to do this with some of mine too.
It does make them so much easier to find lol.
I am a crafty girl and you did a great job. That drawer system is perfect for so many things.
Thanks!
Great job! Im always looking for organization ideas and these drawers could be perfect for so many things!
Thanks! These drawers come in handy.
