organizing: linen closet + diy round labels

homemade bath scrubs and dried lavender for scent & to use in scrubs/salts

Finally got our tiny linen closet organized!  Well, technically we don't keep linens in our linen closet...but this is considered a linen closet in our apartment and is our only closet other than a small one in our bedroom.  Anyway,  I started by tossing any expired products and got rid of anything we haven't used in the past 6 months.  After that, I organized the top two shelves {lower shelves are organized with several more items but didn't photograph as well} with items that we use most often.  Baskets I've had for years {along with a few new ones} were used to hold all of our loose items. To make them a bit more rustic I removed the liners, which I'm super into.  I could also add paper to the back of the shelves, but I'm not sure I want to take on that project right now.  Easy labels were created and tied to the baskets {don't look too close, they aren't perfect} by using the following items & not shown items...a hole punch and index cards. 

1. Ribbon 2. Favorite Scissors 3. Circle Stencil 4. Glue 5. Gold pen 6. Paint Samples

To make labels: Trace an index card with the circle stencil and cut out.  Then trace a larger circle stencil on the back side of a paint sample and cut it out.  Glue smaller white circle onto larger paint sample and then punch with hole punch.  Add ribbon and use gold pen to label your items.

Anyone else tackle their linen closet lately?
