I got this shelf from IKEA almost a year ago and have struggled with how to organize it, I have lost count as to how many times I have rearranged the books. I think I have finally found the solution! My original inspiration came from here I loved how clean it all looked. So here's what I did to organize and clean up my space.
Supplies I used
- A Heat Seal Laminator (I bought this ages ago at Office Depot)
- Laminating Pouches (Sams Club sells a box of 200 for $20)
- Crack N Peel Sticker Sheets (You can use regular scrapbook paper & glue them I just happened to have these)
- White Cardstock
- Velcro Dots
- IKEA Magazine Holders ($1.99 for 5 awesome deal)
First I put together the magazine holders
I printed on the Crack N Peel some awesome free digital scrapbook paper from here but you can also use regular scrapbook paperI put wrong sides together laminated them and than trimmed close to the edge so I could separate them and only have the design side be laminated
I printed my labels on basic white cardstock, I laminated it so both sides were laminatedNext I put the label sheet on top of a design sheet and cut them into three strips & than continued to cut the rest of the laminated Crack N Peel Sheets
I peeled the back off
And stuck it onto the magazine holder
I filled my magazine holder with like items in this case it was my sons school workbooks
This is functional in itself but I have a need for LABELS
I wanted to be able to change my labels (In case I changed things around a bit) So I added the Velcro dots. I have a hard time lining things up so I put the dots together than I stuck them to the magazine holder.
And now you have a nice, clean, cute & functional way to organize magazines, books & papers
The end result! What do you think?
