Cleanliness is next to godliness – but unfortunately this doesn’t usually apply to your desk, because pens and the like simply don’t have a suitable “home” and just lie around. Far from ideal. Maybe our Ikea hack can help you keep things more organized – the best thing about the DIY: it’s super easy and makes a great organizer on your desk. What you need? The “EKET” storage unit from Ikea and the d-c-fix adhesive film “Wooden Slats.” Use this to stick it on the back of the cube and create an exciting look. Find out all about it in the DIY tutorial here!
