Monday Made It-Getting Organized!

I am on a crafting and creating roll! Back again with some more Monday Made It fun. As always, thank you Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for hosting my most favorite linky!
This summer has been filled with crafting, card making, and scrapbooking galore! I am loving the whole waking up late and spending my day doing what I enjoy doing the most...MAKING THINGS PRETTY!
Like many of you, I had plain, white plastic drawers where I stored school supplies or projects/things I needed to do. Sure it was easy to label them with a sign or even a cute printed Avery label. But what bothered me the most was that you could still see through the drawers! And when something looks off or isn't exactly what I'd like it to be, my Monica Gellar side kicks in! See post on desktop organization for that comparison!!

Anyway, so I decided on creating some simple, yet cute, labels to cover up the drawers AND organize them at the same time. Here's what I came up with!

Easy-peasy! And guess what? You can download a sample of my editable Organizational Drawer Labels by clicking any of the pictures below. Just follow the directions and enjoy!

If you'd like more color options and the ability to edit the labels and type your own custom titles, head on over to my TpT shop and grab my whole pack!

My second project was labeling some plain old baskets and clear bucket I had in my classroom. Let's just say they got a little makeover! :)

All you need is:




  • glue gun
  • ribbon
  • baskets or plastic tubs

  • sailing into second, Michael's


    Easy and more importantly, ORGANIZED! Link up with Tara and share your Monday Made It!!
