Every month Martha will share quick and easy solutions to simplify life.

Label, Label, Label!

Ever get a space organized, only to struggle with keeping it organized?  Well, there is one solution that fix the “where did I put that” syndrome.  Labeling! 

One very, VERY important step in the organizing process is to label.  Label the bins.  Label the drawers.  Label the shelves.  Label the homes.  Label, label, label.  That being said, let’s take a look at some label options.

Labeling Jars, Baskets, Wire Containers – A standard label that “sticks” will not stick very well to baskets and wire containers.  So a label with a string is needed. 

Slate Tags are a fun way to label. Try using Chalk Ink on the slate tags for a vivid effect.

Wooden tags, metal rimmed tags and craft paper swing tags can also be used.

Labeling Jars, Bins, Containers with a Smooth Side – For the quickest results, use an adhesive label.  A label maker will produce a very functional label, but try some of colorful and creative options. There are quite a few FREE options for labeling jars or bins.  I goggled “free label jars” and a handful of sites came up.  The sites are for personal use, so I did not provide links here.

Labeling Clothes – If you desire a tidy closet, here are a few options.
