My kids and I have amassed a large collection of art supplies.? Obviously, from the picture above you can see that our organizational system (ie: a basket and a box) was not working so well.? The craft supplies were taking over my laundry room, I was tripping over them, and my 1 year old thinks it is her duty to take a few items and litter the house with them each time someone leaves the laundry room door open.
I bought this cabinet from Walmart.com and chose ?Pick it up Today.?? For just $29.47 I had a cheap solution that solved my problem!? The first thing I did was sort the craft supplies to try to figure out how to organize them in the new cabinet.
I remembered I had a bunch of empty diaper wipe boxes that would work great for corralling items in the cabinet.? I went and found my stash and I was right!? They fit perfectly!? {Hey that?s green ? reusing items ? and FREE!? The best kind.}? I found a couple of other containers I had lying around for holding other supplies, like a big cup from a show at Phillips Arena for markers, a take-out container for paint brushes, and a coffee container for glue sticks.
Every item now has a home in the cabinet and it is infinitely easier to locate the items we need for projects.? Everytime I go in laundry room and I see my tidy little cabinet I smile.? I love being organized. {I?m weird like that!}.
To finish off the project I added some labels to the containers.? They make it much easier to remember where I put little bits of this and that.? I found my labels online but I can?t find the link for the life of me.? however, I found two very similar ones here and here.? You can see other printable labels I?ve found on my pinterest board here.
What do you think?? I think I have regained a little bit of my sanity.
