Step #2–Get organized

Ready, set, go?

Hopefully your local Dollar Store will have some similar buckets and caddies like mine did.  I’ve also seen these in the Dollar Spot at Target.  If you’re lucky, maybe you’ll find some cute stuff on clearance after Easter too!

You will not need both the caddy and the buckets, so here are the links and steps if you choose to organize with the buckets:

 This Dollar Store Diva post introduced my favorite just-about-for-anything paper flower decoration:

 It’s as simple as can be and so darn cute. For this project, I cut them from the wrapping paper and adhered one to each bucket with double-sided tape. I matted the labels with more wrapping paper and stuck them to the buckets with magnets. (Yes! Magnets do work on our cute little buckets.) I also cut a strip of wrapping paper, folded it lengthwise, and tied it to the wire handle.

[Pens, Cards, and Stamps printable]

The font I used for the labels is called Pea Tolman and I downloaded for free here.  In fact, I encourage you to visit this site; the free downloadable fonts are endless and ever so much fun!

I’ll be back tomorrow with tutorials and printables for the carry-all, decorated binder clips, check list, and quote.
