DIY Recycle Bin Labels With Cricut

September 10, 2020 · In: Cricut Projects

Learn how to make labels for your home recycling bins using a Cricut machine, vinyl, and Cricut Design Space.

I go through a lot of paper, plastic, and cardboard in my craft/filming studio, and I wanted to make sure I was recycling it all versus just throwing it in the trash. Before, I was just storing in some random boxes in the garage until they were full enough for a dropoff at the recycling center. But now that my studio is in the process of a major facelift, I decided it’s time for a proper recycling station.

I ordered these stackable bins from Amazon, and they weren’t super cheap but I don’t have an IKEA nearby so it was the best I could do. They’re really great quality, so I’m very happy with the purchase. Once the bins were set up, I broke out my Cricut Joy and a sample pack of Smart Vinyl and got to work.

What You Need:

  • Cricut Cutting Machine (I used Cricut Joy but any Cricut machine will work)
  • 3 colors of vinyl (I used the Cricut Smart Vinyl Beachside Sampler pack because it came with five cohesive colors)
  • Transfer Tape (I used Cricut Transfer Tape)
  • Weeding Tool (My fave comes in the Basic Tool Set)
  • Scissors or TrueControl Knife
  • Cricut Design Space (I’ll link to my exact template I made so you can copy it. Link is below in tutorial.)

5 Things You Never Knew About Me: 1. When Nigel a 5 Things You Never Knew About Me:
1. When Nigel and I started dating, I had a pet tarantula and a ball python, and both were in my small apartment bedroom next to my bed.
2. I started my blog in 2014 under the name In The New House. It didn’t change to Organized-ish until 2018.
3. I didn’t plan on becoming a professional organizer at all. A blog reader reached out and asked for help and people just kept asking after that.
4. I was chosen to share a holiday craft idea with @marthastewart on SiriusXM radio and she sent me a gorgeous wreath as a thank you.
5. I have a large collection of crystals and you can find at least one in almost every room photo I share here and on the blog. It’s like a never ending Easter Egg hunt. 😁
