Is your nightstand overfull of stuff? I mean so packed that it’s hard to find a spare spot for your phone or glasses when you’re ready for bed? I have some nightstands by the bed, but this new hack can store much more and is an easy arm's reach away! You can grab a cheap over-the-door organizer, and with a simple cut down the middle and some grommets and ribbon create a great bedside storage unit.
Start off by cutting the over-the-door storage unit in half width-wise. Watch carefully in the video to make sure you don't cut the bottom of the pocket you are slicing through as you will need it. 


Next, you’ll want to add grommets to the tops of each side so that you can connect them with ribbons under your mattress. Make sure your ribbons are long enough to reach across your whole bed frame. Getting the positioning right can be a bit tricky, but take a look at how I do it below. 


After about 30 minutes of fidgeting, cutting and tying, you'll have the easiest and neatest bedside storage, perfect for stowing a book, glasses, or a phone. I know the process is sped up in the video, but honestly it barely took more time than that to do this in real time!

    No question , just an observation. the directions are not clear about the storage being on both sides of the bed.
