I finally got my act together and moved all my supplies to plastic storage bins. My organization is on its way to being 100% better than it was just a week ago, but I still need a way to make sure things get back in the right place next time I put them away. One super simple option is to use a label maker- it works great and I've done it in the past, but this time I decided to ratchet it up a notch and cut some custom labels with my vinyl cutter. The process was pretty simple, if you've ever used a vinyl cutter before you'll know the drill. I quickly made a shape that I thought looked cool, and then I found a font I liked called Advent Pro on Google Fonts. After that it was just a matter of copying the shape and adding the text labels I wanted, and sending the design to the cutter.
I weeded all the bits of vinyl I wanted to remove, though it was a little tricky saving the insides of the small letters so I ended up bagging it on a couple of them and going for the stencil look. After that I used blue painters tape that had been stuck to my shirt a few times to de-stickify it to transfer the vinyl to the bins. |
