Episode 133: Craft Room Storage Bin Labels

I have had a wall of IKEA Dröna bins for a long time.  I wanted to make some interesting labels, and the idea also took me a really long time.  THEN, when I figured out how I wanted to make the label, the execution of the project took a REALLY long time.  Are we sensing a pattern here?  But, FINALLY they are finished!  Take a look:

Supplies Needed:

Wooden cut outs

Pink paint

Foam brushes

Black stamp ink

White paint pen

Mod Podge melts and bold

Mini dual temp glue gun for Mod Podge melts

Gold paint

Glue gun and hot glue

Chalkbaord labels

Label maker with black label tape

Crop-a-dile II Big Bite

Jump rings

Articake charms

Here's the video:

1. Paint your wooden die cuts with two coats of pink paint using a foam brush.  These cut outs came from Michael's.  The paint is Parisian Pink by Folk Art.

2.  Add the chalkboard stickers and ink the edges with black ink.  The stickers are by Recollections that I purchased at Michael's.  The ink is by Adirondack.

3.  Punch hole at the bottom of the wooden die cut with Crop-a-dile II Big Bite.

4.  Using a jump ring, string a charm through the hole in the die cut and close the ring with pliers to secure.

   

5.  Use a paint pen to embellish. (The Sharpie marker in the picture ran out...surprise surprise...so I bought a different brand for the video.)

6.  Using Mod Podge Melts and a Mold (both from Michael's), make crown embellishments and paint with gold metallic paint, again using a foam brush.  It took me two coats.

7.  Hot glue the crown to the wooden die cut.

8.  Use your label maker to print out a label.  I use a P-Touch that I bought at Office Depot or Office Max...really what's the difference...they look exactly the same.  Then I hot glued the whole thing to the bin.  Done...well, done after 39 more.  Yep 40 labels.  Stick a fork in me....I'm DONE!
