Easy DIY–Vintage Inspired Basket Tags

When it comes to organization one of my go-to items for keeping things neat is baskets.  I have multiple baskets throughout my home with several basket towers (stacked baskets)to hold ‘stuff’.  I have several baskets in my bedrooms and when I was giving our master bedroom a summer facelift, I found myself thinking about how I could add a vintage touch to the baskets.

I thought about adding fabric to the front like this basket…

or maybe metal numbers like Donna at Funky Junk did with these.

While these ideas are really simple to execute, I wanted my tags to have a layered feel to them so I opted for something different.

You’ll need just a few supplies to make your tags:

Wood pieces (available at your local craft store)
Acrylic paint & sponge brush
Metal corner protectors (available from Articuss Studio Designs)
Sticker Numbers or metal mailbox numbers
Twine (mine is from MayArts)

 All you have to do to create your tags is the paint the wood, glue on the metal corner pieces and attached your numbers.  I used E6000 glue for both my metal corners and the vintage metal mailbox numbers I used.

It’s that easy to create Vintage Inspired Basket Tags!

 Several of the tags  used on the baskets in my bedroom were attached with the twine.  I simply drilled two holes on each end of the wood piece, inserted the twine and tied the tag on to the basket.

If you want a more aged look with your metal corners you can use Rub-n-Buff to change the color.

These tags were so easy and quick to make and would work on all types of boxes and bins you might have around your house.  Just think of the possibilities!
