Today I am sharing the final piece to my children’s shared bedroom makeover.  This was a long time coming project, but the end result was so worth the wait and effort!

After a much needed decluttering effort, I did a handful of fun crafty updates and shared the final look here – Shared room makeover!  

Here are a few of the other projects included in their updated space…

Supplies need for toy storage tags

I knew we needed some organization to keep all their toys straight, but I just didn’t want the typical plastic labels that you can buy along with these cloth storage boxes.  

I wanted something helpful, but still cute and pretty.

• Fabric scraps
• Wooden tags (I used chipboard, but any material like this is fine!)
• Chalkboard Paint
• Chalk / White Colored Pencil
• Sewing scissors

How to make cute Organized Storage Cube Tags

I love the look of layered things.  Layered paper (You should have seen my wedding invitations, I cut and layered 6 sheets of paper), layered tablecloths, layered fabric.  Just love it.

First pick about five or six fabrics and cut out different shapes in each of them as backgrounds to the chipboard (or wooden tags).

Using a sponge brush, I then painted an organic rectangular shape onto each chipboard with the chalkboard paint.

Two coats was plenty of coverage, then allow them to fully dry. And then write out the storage names with a white colored pencil.

I then cut narrow strips of fabric to use as ribbons to hold the tags together and to secure to the toy storage boxes.

I love getting pictures of those chubby little baby hands of my babies.  I could eat them up.

Organized Toy Storage

Keeping your kid’s toys organized is a never ending challenge, but at least having systems in place is important.

Once a system is in place, it’s much easier to toss like minded toys right in their bin with no second thought.

Now, if I could actually keep the kiddo’s room looking this neat and organized all the time, then I would really have something to share – ha!
