Happy 2017 friends! We enjoyed soaking up time with family & friends over the last couple weeks and are slowly easing our way back here to blog world! We can’t believe it’s already a new year! We love the fresh start feeling that comes with a new year and have slowly been taking down the signs of Christmas in our homes and getting spaces re-organized. Caitlin recently moved into the house she’s sharing with her cousin (that they’ve spent the last 6 months renovating – we can’t wait to share the space with you over the next few months!!) and has been working on the final touches – like getting the pantry and kitchen shelves organized! We picked up some baskets at Michaels to store some pantry goods, and added some simple leather labels to keep things a little more organized & neat! These leather labels are an easy, simple way to upgrade storage baskets and help keep you even more organized!
What you need:
– leather suede strips
– scissors
– alphabet stamp set
– leather punch
– water
– rag
– hammer
– baskets
– jump rings
– needle nose pliers
How to make it:
– Cut leather into desired shape/size.
– Dampen the leather slightly with water.
– Place a piece of scrap hardwood underneath the leather and stamp the letters.
– Use the leather punch to punch holes in the sides of the leather labels.
– Use the pliers & jump rings to attach the labels to the baskets.
