Custom Labels For Plastic Storage

Craftroom storage

When it comes to craftroom storage and organization you can never have too many bins, am I right?!
Some people like to leave their bins clear so they can have a better idea of what's inside, but I prefer the unified look of having them finished. Read on to see how easy it is to do:

I found these drawer bins at the thrift store for a couple of bucks apiece.  While the drawer housing was always white, the drawers themselves were originally clear.  A bit of gold spray paint and they are now compatible with the rest of my craft room 😊

Using my Cricut, I cut out cardstock in a shape that I liked and had the labels drawn on.  I wasn't expecting them to be the outlines of the words only though, and ended up using a marker to fill them in by hand.  I think there is a way to get the Cricut to fill words all the way in, I just don't know what it is 😏  If you know, please comment below with instructions, thank you!

Note:  I used the Chickens Lovers font from DaFont for these labels.  DaFont is a great resource for free fonts that you can download and use in your projects 😎

If you notice in the picture on the far left, I cut out two sizes of the labels in both beige and white.  This is so I could layer the white on top of the beige and make the overall look a little fancier.

After my labels were filled in I used hot glue to attach them to the front of the drawers...

...then moved them into my studio.
And there you have it- basic plastic storage now turned pretty 😍

(I have another tutorial where I show how I customized the rose printed drawers here)
