Getting Organized

I’m always trying to keep myself organized. I struggle with it all the time especially the office/crap (I mean craft) area. I found some silver baskets at Target this week (only $2.50 each).  They seemed like the perfect bins for organizing crap (I mean crafts). I made some number tags to pretty them up and I thought I’d share the process.

You’ll need some manila tags.  I used tags that were 4-3/4″ x 2-3/8″.  A 1/4 yard of linen.  Red thread (or color of your choice) and dimensional number stickers.  I got mine at Michaels.  Scissors and sewing machine.  Note: If you don’t have a sewing machine you can use glue and skip the red thread.

Step 1: Cut a piece of linen 2″ x 3-1/2″ and center on tag.

Step 2:  Sew down the edge of the linen using a 1/4″ seam or skip this step and glue the linen to the tag.

Step 3:  Stick number sticker to center of tag.

Step 4: Get organized.  (Easier said than done.)
