Information
      Every spring I am overwhelmed by seed packets.  Usually I just shove them in a box and shuffle them whenever it is time to plant something (see before photo.)  This leads to much time spent reshuffling the packets every time I want to do garden work.  Thus, a seed packet organizer.  It is modular so as many categories of seeds as wanted can be accommodated, and more modules can be added.  Each compartment is labeled on its side.  These labels are easily personalized.  I organize by time order for action, but I live in Wisconsin with a short growing season.

Step1: Cut pieces

Each module has four pieces: one bottom, one divider, and two sides; four side labels are optional.  Each module has two cubbies.  The project shown here has two modules, but any number of them can be connected together.

I uses a simple acrylic paint with the grain showing through for a more rustic look.

The pieces are designed for a press fit, so a rubber mallet or dead blow hammer is helpful in achieving a tight fit. 

Fit one end into the bottom with the solid edges facing forward.

Slot the divider into the bottom and the the other end as above.

Fit the back piece last
