How to Make a Bedside Caddy

You may throw your spare change, glasses, a USB drive and anything else in your pockets onto your bedroom night stand. The problem with doing this is that you oftentimes cannot find any of these items when you need them again. Simplify your life by recycling an old backpack into a bedside caddy with a minimal amount of cutting and no sewing. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Empty out the backpack, and clean up any dirty spots on the outside.

2

Unzip or unfasten the backpack top. The top flap will be tucked between your bed's mattresses to hold your bed caddy firmly in place.

3

Cut off the back pack straps and any other straps you think you will not need.

4

Use the main space of the back pack for larger items like books, tissue boxes and notebooks. Keep your pens, pencils, cell phone and USB drive in a zipped pocket so they don't fall out. Put your glasses in a side pocket so you can find them. Make more tear-away pockets by cutting netting to your desired pocket size, and securing it in place with Velcro tape.

Tuck the top of the back pack between your bed's mattresses to hold it in a spot where you can easiy reach it.
