This easy DIY wall mail organizer has been such a savior in our entryway!

The one thing I struggled with for the longest time was the mail clutter! I  tried many many solutions and organization hacks.

None of them seem to work… there was always that one paper that went missing… or got buried deep somewhere…

But sometimes the solution can be just a simple one…

Like this easy mail sorter which I built with scrap wood in under an hour.DIY wall mounted Mail Organizer and sorter Station~ this would be a fun gift idea for a house warming, wedding gift, holiday gift, etc.

I implemented this almost a year ago and it has worked really well. Every day, mail gets sorted by type and every 7-10 days, I go through and take care of everything – pay, file or trash.

I do normally use power tools… but if you are a beginner and don’t have any power tools, you can totally make this and I will show you exactly how in the video tutorial.
