P.S. to my comment that you are a genius....I followed your scheme, but came across the name<br />tag badge ID CLIPS when picking up the name tag COVERS at Walmart. The ID clips have a tag that<br />passes through name cover and snaps on the bottom leaving the clip on top to be fastened to the bin. <br />The badge clip is not as big and strong as the binder clip, but I gave it a yank and it holds. A much <br />simpler two-piece process....Many thanks, for helping me to be almost as "neat" as you Sew-Sew !<br />Walmart was out of the badge covers ( your $l.88 per doz bargain) and I was about to store<br />Christmas, so in desperation I went to Office Depot and paid $5.99 doz....Obscene ! Will revisit<br />Walmart for the extras......<br />MaryHeritage Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815336926966002348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-57303634366311347852013-10-25T09:30:44.978-04:002013-10-25T09:30:44.978-04:00GAAAHHHH!

Couldn't you slip the binder clip handle through the holes in the tag holder, and not use zip ties? I mean put each side of the binder handle through a hole in the holder. Using 1 hole on the holders - yes the tags will turn.<br /><br />I learned long ago to label the boxes, not the lids. Sometimes when you have "help" the lids don't go back on the right containers.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-84168851943596299622013-10-24T08:40:11.052-04:002013-10-24T08:40:11.052-04:00What a perfect and easy idea.

As a last ditch effort I started writing on the covers with a Sharpie (take that plastic container!) but the joke's on me as I ruined the tubs for other uses. Now you have given me the perfect solution. I'm so pleased you posted this.

I use them for everything inc holding the cord for my phone so it does not fall and get lost EVERY night--just take the clip off thread the cord thru and reclip---attach the clip to the edge of your table or charging station or in my case I use a small camera case attached to a tray on my bedside table to make sure I always have it next to me. <br />I also use them to clip closed Zip bags for extra security when storing things like tiny beads--also makes it easier to grab the bag!---and for travel with those small pouches of laundry soap. Way too much for a sinkful of hand laundry but I refuse to toss the remainder!<br /><br />They also come in handy in the kitchen for holding small bagged spices--the "trial sizes"--and can be clipped to the cabinet edge or handle while cooking--and I use them over the sink to hold small items to the baskets I have that hold stuff like drink flavor straws and vitamins etc---the clip to the edges and hold small easily lost things or notes and recipes. We also use "s" hooks that we slide into the holes in these baskets to hold things like bottle brush and other small sink area needs! <br /><br />Zip strips hold my world together! I use them for everything from car repair to keeping my handicapped scooter brake lines snugged to the frame--otherwise they get snagged and pulled. Did you know--you can even get zip strips in METAL in different colors? (ebay) <br /><br />Have not tried the ID badge holders but I will! Have tried your pipe hanger handles for boxes and LOVE that idea!

I have used the stick on labels and when they come off I use clear packing tape to tape over them, but eventually dirt and fuzz get under the tape and look bad. Those binder clips come in so many different sizes and colors too they are great. I use binder clips for other things too.Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-444221130150558371.post-88430094445710458852013-10-22T10:55:55.469-04:002013-10-22T10:55:55.469-04:00I take a lot of kidding for all the plastic bins I...I take a lot of kidding for all the plastic bins I use.
