I stumbled upon these luggage tags at Michael’s. They were in the $2.00 section { I of course thought they were part of the $1.00 section and was a little surprised when I checked out and the bill was twice what I thought . . . but still a good deal!}. I love them because they have letters on them, but you can also turn them around and write your own label to stick in the window. They are great for organizing children’s toys or for labeling baskets of books in a bookcase. They work great on these Itso bins {target} I use for the children’s toys in our bonus room. I have the bins labeled for Trains, Balls, Grady, and Riley. The initials are easy for the kids to identify where to put things. Not sure why the red looks so bright in these photos. The colors are not quite this vibrant in real life!
In the bookshelf where we really need to store a ton of books {and not just cute decorator things} I divide up the look of “all books” with baskets. This one has all of our travel books in it and it is labeled accordingly with the luggage tag.
Do you have a fun way of labeling your bins? Would love to hear more ideas. Here is a sneak peak of a piece of furniture I am working on for my son’s big boy room! So excited!
Hoping to add the finishing touches this week so I can show you. Linking it up: Tuesday: Today’s Creative Blog
Off to Michaels! These are great!
What a great idea! I just purchased some of the Itso bins for Kate's room (for her expedite). Can't wait to see the table.
Great idea! I'm going to have to head to Michaels to see if they have any!
That's a great idea! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the boys' room!
what an adorable idea!
I love this idea. I have the turquoise bins, but no tags. And I think maps are so cool used as art- looking forward to seeing the new room:)
That is so clever! It makes me wanna run out to Michaels and find some (:
These are fabulous!!!
Can't wait to see what you do with the map. My mom just gave me a big one and my head is spinning 🙂

My basket method is to rummage through each one until I find what I'm looking for…perhaps I should invest in your smart organization!
LOVE the map…they are so great in boy's rooms too!
What a great idea!!
i love this idea. organizing my bins is next on my list of things to do!
Courtney, what a great idea to stay organized! (I love any organization tips!) And I can't wait to see what that piece of furniture is (:
Oh those look great! What a cute idea! I just moved to a town with no Michael's…sigh…I know. Pretty bummed!

Oh I can't wait to see the new room! And the luggage tags are genius!!!!
Luvs!
What a great idea!
Courtney, you are so organized and in such a chic, fun and colorful way! I love it! These luggage tags are great. I'm looking forward to seeing the piece of furniture you're working on for your son's room.
awesome idea… both the tags and putting the books in the baskets. My husband has a TON of not so pretty paperback books, I am totally going to store them in pretty baskets now 🙂
I've seen these at Michaels but only thought to use them as luggage tags. Love what you did with them! Fabulous idea!
I'm loving your blog! I'm your newest follower 🙂
Another great and creative idea!!
