I came across a tutorial a while back showing how to make
hidden paperclip pockets.
I loved the idea but not the vintage look which I just do not do well.
It was by a lady called Cathy's Garden on YouTube.
I changed up some of the measurements and added a pen holder.
The aim was to make them for my laundry room
where I have cubes with cloth boxes from Ikea to store
cleaning stuff etc etc.
Every time I go to get something I have to search through
every box and end up getting distracted by what I find 😂
So I thought I would make a larger version
where I could have two tags to write on.
One for what is in the box and one to write something down
as I run out of it!
This is how they hang on the boxes.
I may take off the ribbon on top tag if it gets in the way
but other than thank I am very pleased with them.
You can watch my tutorial here

What cute tags, Pinky! Great idea for labeling your boxes, and having someplace to jot down notes!! Thank you for sharing your creative solution with us at Double Trouble for our anything goes challenge!!! -Donna
Love how you changed it up to a larger informational tag... very creative and love the pen holder too. I see it also as a gift card holder on the front of a card or present... Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and and taking advantage of Twisted Sister's B option "checker" for an additional chance at our random drawing.
What a fabulous idea and I love how yours came out. Love you added a pen, so handy.
