Organize Plastic Storage By Labelling The Shelves!

Members Were Sparked

In order to keep my Tupperware & other plastic storage in a structured place [and to help my hubby put it where it belongs!],I labelled the different shelves in the cupboard [yes-we have one cupboard devoted to storage of plastic!] according to SHAPE. The bottom shelf has all the circular shaped containers,the middle shelf has the squares/rectangles and the top shelf has all the liquid containers. It has helped in the ORGANIZATION OF PLASTIC WARE & helped my hubby assist me in putting it away!

Organize you rooms

I have started to use more shelves and plastic storage containers to organize things I want to keep. Tall shelves store more and you can see what you want right away. Also label and /or have see through containers. This works for toys, craft items and many other things. 250
