Corbels are architectural details that you can find at any hardware store. They come in several sizes and have wonderful designs. Apart from the corbels, you will also need a wooden base. You stick the corbels upright on the base, paint, and you're done!

Framed Fabric
/filters:quality(70)/content/lifestyle/2012/08/310_437x361.jpg)
Using a frame (thrifted or brand new) and fabric sewn into pockets, you can make a small desk organizer that is pretty to look at. Plain fabric or burlap will work for this craft project. However, if you're making this for a kid's room, using printed fabric is a must.
To create your own framed fabric desk organizer, start by selecting a colorful or patterned fabric to add a cheerful pop to your space. Measure and cut the fabric to fit your chosen frame, allowing extra material to form pockets. These pockets are perfect for stashing away desk essentials such as notepads, pens, and scissors, keeping your workspace both tidy and stylish. Use a combination of sewing or fabric glue to secure the pockets in place. Hang or place the frame on your desk for an instant and adorable organization upgrade!

Magazine Holders

Magazine holders can easily be re-used as a desk organizer by transforming them into low-hanging shelves. Hang them from a piece of wood and install in front of a desk for a more organized study space.
Tutorial
For those who crave a splash of color and creativity, personalize your magazine holders before attaching them to the wood. Decoupage with vibrant patterns or paint them in a hue that complements your room's palette. Even wrapping them with washable wallpaper or fabric can add a textural pop to your space. Keep in mind the weight they'll be holding, and select sturdy materials for the base and brackets. This DIY not only maximizes vertical space but also gives a chic twist to your organization game. Stay clutter-free and stylish!
