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.

He met this four year old little dude who was sick on the couch clutching his Lightening McQueen car. Soon after, Noah told me in the car “Mommy let’s stay friends with him, ok?”
So we did. And here we are ten years later. Nothing makes my heart more full than seeing these two together.
…Except when they gang up on me for asking [dumb] questions about superheroes… 😅
Happy Father’s Day Nigel!
Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we a Let’s talk about organizing overwhelm. Yep, we are going there…
As exciting and freeing and calming it is to get a space cleaned up and organized, it’s also stressful and overwhelming and exhausting. Especially when you’re doing big projects.
After three weeks straight of working on my garage, I was reaching the point of burnout. I got behind on other things, I constantly felt like I wasn’t doing enough, and my to-do list kept getting longer.
If you’re feeling this way today, I want you to give yourself permission to do these two things:
1. Take a break. It is ok to pause a project and take some chill time. Log off of social media, stop looking at your list, and just recharge.
2. Remove things from your list. You might have planned a huge project, but after a while you start losing enthusiasm. At that point, let some plans go. Save them for later in the year, or maybe even never. Projects should be flexible, not set in stone.
What’s something on your to-do list you can let go of today to save you time and stress?
