*CREATIVE ORGANIZING*






I have limited cabinet space in my bathroom, and I came up with a cute way to organize my toiletries using Shrinky Dinks Shrinkable Plastic.

Supplies: Shrinky Dinks Frosted Ruff N Ready Shrinkable Plastic, computer w/printer, Sharpie marker(s), small hole punch, scissors, ribbon, basket or container, and other decorative items i.e. flowers, charms (optional)

Print out the words you want to use for your labels, using a large font (72pt font works well). Be creative. I labeled the basket I keep toothpaste etc in "Tooth Fairy Supplies". Place your printed paper behind a piece of Shrinky Dinks plastic (rough side facing up). Using a Sharpie marker(s), trace the words you printed onto the plastic. Cut your newly traced "label" out of the plastic. Punch a hole in the top of the plastic. Follow the directions included with the Shrinky Dinks package and shrink them. Once you have taken them out of the oven and they are cool to the touch, string a ribbon through the hole and attach it to your basket/container. I used different color ribbons/Sharpie markers(s) to make my labels, and I attached flowers to them. These "labels" have so many uses! I made them for party bags I gave out at my birthday last year.

Other tips: You can find Shrinky Dinks at you local craft store. They are usually located near the decorative paper/stamp section.
