What a fun word. Organiz-a-trio. You saw it here first, folks.
Three ideas for organizing your world with twill tape. Because, really, these three areas are things that needed some organizing at my house… maybe yours too? Um… sorry… these aren’t the most beautiful projects ever. More practical. More function than form. I hope you’re cool with that. So let’s check it out.
Up first. The easiest of three easies. Earrings. I hate when I can’t find the two that match that I want to wear. I also don’t enjoy them rolling around in a makeup bag or falling off of the counter where one of my little ones is perched waiting to grab them. For at least the last 10 years I’ve used small rectangles of craft foam to keep them together. Inexpensive, light, portable, slightly cushiony. But now? I’m using twill tape to accomplish the same thing with a bit more style.
Step 1: Fold over twill tape and stitch.
Step 2: Turn inside-out.
Step 3: Iron flat. Apply earrings.
Here’s an illustration of the three steps:
And in use:
Fold your length of twill tape in half and stitch the ends together.
Earring idea is awesome. I can’t tell you how bad I need to orgnize that area. Also, love, love, love that very thick twill tape.
OK I totally have to make the one with the headbands on it. I have been trying to figure out how to store those (my DD loves them) and that is perfect!!
