Family Organiser

A kitchen fridge virtually covered with soccer schedules and invitations. A hall table with stacks of unopened mail. A desk with a pile of bills growing distressingly high. If these images describe your home, it's time to do something to impose order on the chaos. Our do-it-yourself solution? An organization board that will get your family running like a well-oiled machine in no time.

You will need:
- Galvanized metal from a home-supply store with holes   punched in two corners
- Foam core of the same dimensions
- Felt and felt letters
- Lightweight fabric
- Paper
- Craft glue
- Spray adhesive
- Magnetic clips
- Packing tape

Here's how:
1. Attach the foam core to the metal board with packing tape.

2. Punch holes to match those in the metal.

3. Spray the other side of the metal with adhesive, then press down fabric, leaving 5cm hanging over on all sides.

4. Fold and tape to the foam core.

5. Cut felt into rectangles for storage pockets and decorate with felt letters.

6. Attach to the board with craft glue.

7. Glue days-of-the-week labels and attach magnetic clips.
