Quick & Cheap Closet Organization

My cleaning closet is a mess!  I've got swim stuff in there, cleaning supplies, dog treats, emergency stuff and a ton of other stuff in there.  I use all of it a lot, so it's nice having the closet right off my kitchen, but it definitely needed some organizing.

As you can see, it's a disaster!

So, I pinned a few things and went to work.  I headed to my nearest dollar store (Dollar Tree) and picked up some of these for under $10.

I liked these because they were more oblong, which I knew would fit better on my shelves.

Then I created some cute tags in Word: 
[aren't they cute?  I love this font (KB Hold the Phone) & the border matches my kitchen colors]
I printed them out on cardstock and "laminated" them using packing tape.  Easy!

I tied them to each basket with some brown twine (super cheap), but you could use decorative/crafting twine too.

Then I put everything in its corresponding basket and voile!  A clean, organized closet!
I feel so much better when things are (a) organized and (b) cute!  It makes me actually want to pull the baskets out and clean something:)
[now everything is in its proper place]

[it still might look a bit cluttered, but it's SOO much better!!]

Happy Crafting!
