Organizing a Nursery

I've started organizing the nursery!  I have thought of some great, inexpensive ways to organize, so I thought I would share these ideas.  Please feel welcome to post any ideas that you have.  I'd love to hear them!

I printed the basket labels on card stock and mounted them on some paper from my scrap bin.  The baskets are Sterlite brand and can easily be used in other areas of Baby's room as they grow up.  I have a basket for socks, onesies, burp cloths, bibs, towels, and toys. 

I have accumulated clothes faster than I expected.  In order to quickly find the separation in sizes, I colored some clothes pins to help organize the closet.  I thought about different paper options, but decided this would be the most durable option. 

Here is the final tip that I found helpful: Use a lingerie bag to wash and dry those tiny socks so you will not lose any of them!

Card Box

I made tab dividers so I could easily find what I am looking for in my card box.  The bin is part of the Itso collection from Target. 

You can purchase a small crate or basket from the Dollar Store, add cards and dividers, and give it as an inexpensive gift. 

Resource Binder

  

I have been working on this resource binder for weeks, and it is finally finished!  The oval was modified from the Wild Card Cricut Cartridge, and the letters are from Simply Sweet.  This is an Avery binder with a built in pocket on the inside.  I used tab dividers with pockets on the front and back so I can store notes and projects in progress.

The binder is broken up into the following sections:

1.  Supplies

• Each Cricut cartridge has a different colored piece of card stock with a photo from the back of the box (green page above)
• Sample square of Cuttlebug embossing folders (black embossed squares on purple paper above)
• Yellow card stock with stamp images (above)
• Transparency with sample pieces of ribbon (above)
• List of each stamp, cartridge, and embossing folder and the amount paid

2. Card Ideas

• Card images and layouts from magazines and online
• Card wording and Bible verses

3.  Gift Ideas

• Ideas collected from magazines and online

4. Notes

• Photos of past projects and notes on recreating it.
• The tab divider folder has samples and other items to make future projects easier.

5. Lesson Plans

• I have not made any progress yet, but this section has intentions of lesson plans for crafts and cards that I can eventually teach to children or adults.
