I’m always looking for new ways to get myself better organized. From organizing my beauty products to getting my craft room organized, I’m always on the hunt for products to make my life easier. Let’s face it, being organized saves you time, money and stress!
Today I’m going to introduce you to the Creative Options Polka Dot Tapered Tote and 5 ways that you can use this tote to get yourself organized. It’s a great tote with some great organizational features and besides being functional, it’s pretty stylish too! It features a removable clear plastic pouch, organizing elastic straps on the interior walls, reach-in slip pockets and I love the French memo-board-style elastic straps on the interior lid. It’s available for purchase at Walmart and Michaels Arts & Crafts for an MSRP $21.99. Let’s get started.
5 Ways to Get Organized with the Creative Options Polka Dot Tote
1. General Craft Supplies: In the photo above you’ll see that I used one of the Polka Dot Totes to organize some of my general crafting supplies that I like to take on-the-go with me when I attend craft classes, scrapbooking crops, etc. As you can see, I placed containers & bottles of liquid glue, Modge Podge, glitters, scissors, ribbons, clothespins, mini ruler, glue sticks, metallic thread, clips and other items into the bag.
2. Girl’s Hair Accessories: My 7 1/2 year old granddaughter stays overnight at our home pretty often. I keep hair care supplies and hair accessories here at my home for when she’s here. I can keep her hair combs, hair brushes, hair clips, barrettes, bobby pins, shampoo & conditioner bottles, etc., all nicely organized in one of these totes. The elastic bands on the interior lid are absolutely PERFECT for organizing her hair barrettes & bobby pins!
3. Manicure & Pedicure Supplies: I love doing my nails and every week I treat myself to a pedicure & manicure. In the past my mani & pedi supplies over-took all of the space in our medicine cabinet and they made my under-the-sink area totally junky. Well, I’ve solved both of those problems by placing all of my supplies into the tote! It now holds my foot file, scrubbing brush, hand lotions, nail polishes, polish remover, nail files, tweezers and other items that I use during my mani & pedi sessions.
4. Toiletry Travel Bag: We do a lot of traveling and are always taking off at least once a month for a new adventure. I keep one of the totes loaded up with my extra cosmetics, toiletries and other beauty supplies that I need when we travel. I can keep my toiletry bag packed and just grab it when we’re ready to go. The elastic bands are fantastic for organizing your makeup brushes, tweezers, nail files, eyeliner pencils, etc.
5. Grand Baby Bag: As you all know, I’m the grandmother to two adorable children. My grandson is 15 months old and I keep baby supplies here at my home for when he’s staying with us. While my daughter does bring a diaper bag, I also keep extra supplies on-hand for when he’s here. It’s the perfect size to hold some baby diapers, a pack of diaper wipes, his baby powder, baby bath wash, baby lotion and even a toy or two.
These 5 creative ways on how to get organized with the Creative Options Polka Dot Tapered Tote is just the tip of the iceberg! I think it would be an ultra cool way to organize goodies in your school or work locker, to organize your cookie cutters & miniature baking molds, your travel bag for taking mini travel games on the road with you and all sorts of other things! My mother wants one to organize her dog’s treats & toys for when we travel and take Mr. Rufflo along with us.

This is a very versatile tote. I like how you showed the many different purposes it could fulfill. I didn’t even think of it as a sewing kit.
These are all good ways to use this tote. What I love most are the elastic straps on the interior lid. They aregreat for holding small items that would otherwise be easily lost.
I like using it for the travel tote. I like the elastic on the lid.
I appreciate how many ways there are to use this. I am always looking for better ways to organize our craft supplies and this would certainly be a handy way to have everything in one place to make it easier. Plus it looks so cute.
I really like the look of this tote. It looks to be the perfect size for so many things. I relly like the idea of hair accesories in it. If you or someone that visits (like grandkids) this would be ideal. It looks like it would hold tons!
I like it! This could be used in so many ways. I could see my teenage niece using this for makeup, sports, etc.
There is just something about polka dots that I really like – especially when they are black and white. This one is really cute.
