File_basket_labels__full_view

If you aren’t a fan of paperwork, handling mail, paying bills — this week’s challenge is just for you. Let’s make those pesky little tasks a bit more fun with a file basket decorated with ribbon labels for your folders. You’ll be organized and motivated to tackle that paperwork in no time!

Head on out to Wal-Mart and pick up a wicker basket. This one is sized perfectly for 8 1/2 x 11 file folders and comes with handles, allowing you to transport your paperwork to a cozier work space. Next, make some fun “labels” using scrapbook ribbon, rub-on letters and paper clips. Simple and fun — what could be better than that!
