Step 1 of 6

GRID-IT organizer are great! But one like picture above with 12" * 8" dimensions will cost you $19.99 :( Let's half the cost by DIY!

Step 2 of 6

All you need is a $5 12" * 8.5" hardboard clipboard(better with low profile clip),1.1 and 0.7 inch wide heavy duty elastic band(2 yards for each) and some tools like pliers,scissors,needle and thread.

Step 3 of 6

Use pliers to remove the clip from clipboard, watch your fingers and try not to scratch the board too much.

Step 4 of 6

Cut the elastic band into two length: 17.5 inch and 23 inch, use the same color thread to sew them into loop.

Step 5 of 6

Wrap all the loops to the board, just make them overlaps randomly.

Step 6 of 6

That's it, you made it! See how good it binds all my everyday stuff together and fits in my STM messenger bag's slot!

You're Done

3)Before you wrap something on it, the back looks exactly like the front:)

2)For me, it just fit in my STM messenger bag's slot, I add penbag, cardholder, battery, charging cables etc. it's my everyday's carry.

For your questions: 1)Sure you can mount it on the wall,you can see the board have two holes after the clip removed, you can use those holes to hang it.

Ke Qiu (author) 6 months ago

One question. Does this mount to a wall system? Where does it live once you have it loaded with tour stuff. Do you use it for travel? For instance pack it in toy luggage? What does the back look like?

Thanks for your tip Maxine, painting the board is a great idea,I will do it on next holiday:) but i prefer not to glue the straps, because it will lost the covenience of adjustments and replacements
