As most of you can probably tell by now, I have been on quite the label kick lately. It's a quick, easy, and simple way to begin your journey into organizing your life and home, and ever since I invested in my new label maker I have been looking for more ways to expand the idea. With the help of a few fellow bloggers (and Pinterest of course), I was able to create my quick and simple labels that will help me organize my closet shelves and hall linen closet!
The first thing I had to do was design the labels. For this project I used Microsoft Excel which was perfect for creating the shapes and adding the backgrounds. I printed out my new labels on standard white letter paper.
After the labels were printed, it was time to laminate the full sheet of paper. I ran the labels through the laminator twice, just to make sure that there would be a good tight seal. Once laminated, it was time to practice my Kindergarten skills and cut them out!
I stopped by my local Walmart on the way home and picked up 6 baskets for my closet shelves and a pack of circle adhesive Velcro dots.
I found the center cross portion on each of the baskets and adhered one side of the Velcro.
Because I needed to be able to see where I was placing the label to try and make it as center as possible, I decided to cut out the fabric side of the Velcro while still leaving the backing on.
Once I had them both even and attached, I removed the plastic backing, centered my label, and stuck it to the adhesive on the Velcro dots.
That's it! This project was so quick and simple, and I love the outcome! I can't wait to add those gorgeous Orange and floral labels to the linen closet! I placed these baskets up on the closet shelf and am now so happy to be able to reach for exactly what I want instead of digging through my drawer of miscellaneous accessories. For the time and inexpensive cost, I will definitely be making more of these... perhaps for the pantry? Happy Labeling, Friends!
