Today, we’re looking at 5 home organization projects that are incredibly easy, super satisfying, and can be completed in minimal time (since we know that many families are actually busier than ever with the kids out of school). All you’ll need to do is Pick Your Project, Click to Order Supplies, then Start Organizing!

Organize Family Information

White Rectangle Labels

Gather and sort your household bills, warranties, medical records and other information using folders, a file cabinet or file box. This project is not only a great way to decrease clutter in the home, but it’s actually very important to keep vital family information easily accessible in case of an emergency.

TIP: It’s a great idea to apply two different types of labels to each folder. Use Filing Labels for at-a-glance labelling at the top of each folder, and Larger Shipping Labels to add a quick list of contents to the face of each folder.

Create Your Own Coffee Bar at Home

Avery® Durable ID Labels

If you’re missing your usual coffee run or even the variety of your workplace coffee selection, now is a great time to create your own coffee bar at home. If you own a coffee pod brewer this project is as easy as expanding your coffee pod selection to include different flavours and roasts. You can also incorporate some tasty syrups and other add-ins to create your own not so secret menu of specialty beverages.

To give your new coffee bar a unified look, store coffee pods in matching containers and add customized Durable Labels to display the name of each blend. Don’t forget to create a set of coordinating labels for the syrup bottles!

Make a Self-Serve Craft Centre

High Visibility Neon ID Labels

Looking for screen-free ways to keep the kids occupied during their time inside? This grab and go art centre makes essential (age appropriate) supplies available to keep artsy kids happily occupied. Add things like crayons, glue, highlighters, stickers, blank cards and other supplies to a portable caddy and dress it up with neon labels.

Give Your Canisters a Makeover

Print-to-the-Edge Rectangle Labels

Give your pantry a style upgrade and combat clutter at the same time by decanting certain packaged goods into reusable canisters and baskets. Items like pasta, cereal, beans, and rice become more accessible and take up less space when stored in this manner. To take this project to the next level, add custom labels to each canister. Try using Clear Labels and a handwritten font to mimic the look of those modern farmhouse style canisters that have been so popular on Pinterest.

Control Cord Clutter

Avery® Filing Labels

USB-A, USB-B, handheld game chargers and so much more! Charge cord clutter has become a very real problem for many Canadian households. Thankfully, you can combat charge cord confusion by using Filing Labels to make your various chargers easier to identify. Simply wrap cords just below the plug with labels designating each charger type.
