Organising hair accessories for girls

Remember this post I wrote just over a month ago?

You gave me some suggestions to organise Kendra’s growing stash.

Well, I was inspired and after looking through all the links, I decided three things:

1) I am still a lazy organiser who likes unfussy solutions
2) the 3-drawer system still looked good to me
3) I really needed labels

I haven’t written much about washi tape other than the crafting things I do with it BUT washi tape makes an excellent label.

I”m not sure why I didn’t figure it out sooner because I’ve always loved masking tape labels.

I’ve used washi tape to label my pens and pencils (yes, I do!), leftover food and now these too. Try it for some happiness in your fridge :)

Let’s get to the pictures!

About that links necklace…

We first bought them a couple of packs of these links when they were “real” babies, 6 months or so. At that stage they used it to feel the different textures, etc.

Then we transitioned to using the links to help them learn their colours and sort by colour. They played with these dry and in the bath for months and months.

Over the last couple of months they use them for pretend play – necklaces, to lengthen a handbag strap when they go to work, etc.

I love it!

The best R30 I ever spent (2 packs of R15 each).

So there you have it. Organised hair accessories. Absolutely no money spent – my favourite kind of organising project.

It’s been organised this way for just over a month and still looks the same so I’d say it’s working for us.

What’s currently working for you in any area of organising your life? Do you need to live organised?

PS Remind me to tell you about the best baby gift we got :)

    HI Marcia, So sorry but I still can’t email you, I’m not sure why, bummer! I hate clogging up your comments! First, I have not gone on Pinterest since the first time I went – it’s too much. I’m better with looking at a magazine and getting one or two ideas and that’s that! Too many issues there for me! So I appreciated your post.
    Second, it is no problem for me to take a taxi to you and I totally get (and admire) your one car decision. I may have another option as well quite near the airport – would that be better for you if I stay somewhere else since you have guests during the day and I leave the next morning? Be honest! Love, Laura
