Duct Tape and Determination


I am not an organizational person. I don't do Pinterest worthy projects.  But I know how to use a role of duct tape effectively. Here's what I did today while trying to figure out what to do with the impressive collection of pants and shirts I have for my boys.


 What you see here is a whole bunch of size 2T pants.  I know I'll need them really soon but in this "Little House" I don't have the space for them.  The space I do have is being utilized.  So....


I grabbed my role of duct tape and a sharpie....


Here's where you say, "Oh my! She's a genius!" And I am.  I wrapped the pants in duct tape I did.


I wrote the size on the tape....


And stacked them in the closet along with a billion other things I'd like to wrap in duct tape.

Now when it's time for the 2T pants I'll just grab them, unwrap them, and throw them in the drawer.

I just realized that the colorful duct tape may have made this a Pinterest worthy project.

  1. oh my, you are a genius! I just took out a bunch of clothes out of the 'clothes tote' from the big to give to the little and they were crazy wrinkled and all over the place.
