Cricut Joy Smart Label project

My Top 5 Favorite Cricut Joy Organization Projects

July 28, 2021 · In: Cricut Projects

Here are my top five favorite projects I’ve done to date to organize my home with Cricut Joy and Cricut Joy Smart Materials.

Over the weekend, I hosted a giveaway on my Instagram page to gift one lucky winner a brand new Cricut Joy, along with a stash of supplies to get started. I have three other Cricut machines, but truth be told, Joy is my favorite. I love how small and portable it is, and how easy and fast I can crank out gorgeous labels.

Throw in the fact that it can also make last-minute birthday cards and quick school projects for my son, and the Cricut Joy wins my VIP award every single day.

So whether you’re a Cricut Joy newbie or you’ve been using yours for a while now, here are my top five home organizing projects I’ve used it for. Hope you find an idea you can implement in your own house!

Cricut Joy labels

1. Make Cheap Containers Look Custom

A lot of people shy away from those cheap $1 containers because they look cheap. But some of those cheap containers are actually really great and sturdy, and totally worth your money.

I love the Sterilite shoe bins above, and they hold up really well. Using Cricut Joy Smart Labels, you can make them look like custom storage for a fourth of the price.

2. DIY Recycling Center At Home

Aren’t these recycling bins the cutest? I found those recycling symbols on Cricut Design Space, cut them in three colors of Smart Vinyl, and added text over the top. When it comes to recycling bins, you need a big bold label to make sure you’re putting trash in the right place, and these labels do the job. Full tutorial and material list here.

3. Pantry Food Storage Bin Labels

Every time I open my pantry, I still swoon over these food storage container labels. They look so chic and expensive, but they were ridiculously easy to make. And the font was super easy to weed, which made the project fast to pull off. Get the full tutorial and project info here.

4. Spice Jar Sticker Labels

My spice jars already had labels on the front that I made with my Cricut Maker a couple of years ago, but when we moved I had to change up the way I stored them.

They now stand up in a pull-out basket in a base cabinet, so the front-side labels could no longer be seen. I made these lid labels using the Cricut Joy App and didn’t even have to open my computer to design them. Full tutorial here.

5. Pretty Bin Clip Labels

Say hello to my most beautiful label project ever! I used Cricut Joy Smart Sticker Paper and Smart Label Writable Paper to make these fun labels for my utility closet. This was fast, easy, and turns a boring old storage closet into something so pretty I actually want to open.

I have been known to just open the door and admire them while I wait for water to boil on the stove. Full tutorial and material links here.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
