I love using Dollar Store products for home organization, crafts, DIY decor, and creating inexpensive gift baskets.  I decided it was time to create a homework station for both our kids since they both will have homework in the approaching months.

We don’t have a dedicated homework space in our home (and I’m not a fan of clutter) so I wanted to make something portable for our kids to use. The Dollar Store was the perfect source for inspiration to create this simple, portable homework station. Get ready for a clutter-free school year with this DIY and my free printable chalkboard labels!

This portable homework station is a shower caddy that I spray painted silver, added a pretty chalkboard label along with some plastic cups (also from the Dollar Store!) to keep everything tidy.  Simple right?  You can easily make this and get organized before school starts!
