Look here for a brainstorm of ways to organize cooking utensils, that ThriftyFun readers did in 2005.

While having lots of cooking utensils I didn't want cluttering up my kitchen drawers (ex. grill tongs, wooden spoons, slotted spoons, whisks, etc.), I searched different stores for the 'exact' holder for them all. Never really finding what the correct size I wanted.
One day while in a gardening section, I found a galvanized metal water pail with a few butterflies engraved on it. I knew immediately, I'd found my kitchen utensil bucket. I did have to put a small box into the center as some utensils will fall in completely, if I don't put them in towards the center. Otherwise, it fits my kitchen just fine!

I use vinyl prepasted wallpaper as shelf and drawer liner and recently discovered I could cut paper towel tubes and cover with the same to store my utensils.
It is much easier to pick up a tube than dig around a drawer.
We have an old crock that we use for this purpose. It is so much easier for things you need to get to quickly. I hadn't thought of putting something in the center for the smaller items. Good Idea!
The perfect ccntainer for me has been a large glass vase which I originally received from the florist with a delivery of roses. Putting it to use in this everyday practical way is a constant reminder of that gift!
For my kitchen utensils I use a pretty decorative water pitcher, it gets the job done and holds all my tools just fine and dandy. It seems to be the right size.
