I Need Cubby Label Ideas

[MarinaVanessa]

Do you like those cubbies? I was thinking about getting two of the 8-cube ones and putting them together to make a 16 hole cubby center.

I wasn't sure if I would get drawers for all of them though. Some bring diaper bags and I didn't know if those would fit into the drawers.

I like using the drawers... but alas, diaper bags would NEVER fit in one of these bins. I require that parents bring me brand new supplies to leave here (wipes, diapers, formulas, bottles etc) and some extra clothes. This all goes into the cubby and some diapers go in small drawers in the changing table and the wipe boxes stay on top next to the changing pad so there's enough room for everything. Then I just tell parents that diaper bags aren't necessary and have them carry them back to the car. If they insist then at the end of each day I just hand over the bag and "Here's your bag. We didn't need it today. Everything is still in there" and eventually they stop bringing them. The only exclusion is if a parent is dropping off and someone else is picking up and child is going to their house etc.

Laminate a tag and attach with a zip tie like a luggage tag.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I really wanted something to lay flat against the front of the box instead of hanging and was looking more for ideas of an adhesive that might work on plastic that maybe I had missed before. I'm going to try to sew the plastic pockets once I get them and see how that goes

Could you use liquid stitch? It's in the sewing isle. Or E-6000 works on EVERYTHING! Or that sticky back Velcro is very sturdy!

Vinyl. do you have a friend with a cricut or silohette.

I've never heard of either of these. I'll investigate, thanks!

I have a Cricut but I was looking for something that would help me stick the big white plastic pockets (like in the picture above) onto my fabric cubbies so that I could take and print pictures that could easily just slide in and out when I needed to, but thank you!

Oooh, I think this is really going to work! The description says that it works on vinyl and fabric among other things so I'm sure it'll work for the gluing the pockets onto the cubbies!! Thank you! I'll throw in a few stitches in the corners just make it more durable. Thanks again for brainstorming with me ladies! I love this forum. lovethis

If you use the E-6000 do et it sit for 12 hours or so before you mess with it. I know from experience...

Okay thanks. I'm going to try with the liquid stitch first and see how that goes. I'll do it on a weekend so that I don't have to mess with the cubbies for a few days

Would painting a square and then attaching the vinyl to that work? The paint would create the slicker surface needed for things to stick well?

oh cool pockets

[daycare]

how about velcro on some to the title after you laminate it. the kids can take off, but if you used enough velcro is would stick really well.

I have that same set up and I have the boxes pushed back some so that the label is on the actual shelf.

I use the same one I take the kids picture write their name and laminate I punch a hole and attach them to the cubby handles using plastic shower curtain rings. You can get them 12 rings in a package at the dollar tree

Ooh, I like this idea.
