My favourite organising tools #4 – masking tape

I saw this excellent tip from Deniece Schofield’s book, Confessions of an Organized Homemaker, when I read it 5 years ago. And I have used it since – in fact, I’m still using the same roll of masking tape!

If you haven’t read this book yet, do yourself a favour and read it.

Masking tape makes the easiest labelling tool ever. Why?

1. your label can be as long or as short as you like
2. tape is flexible
3. it is easy to remove when you want to re-label a container
4. it is easy to write on

Some of the ways I use masking tape for labelling:

1. food in the freezer
2. fridge shelves
3. pantry shelves
4. storage containers
5. computer cords

labelling the shelves in my fridge

flour containers – btw, I write the best before date on the label too

Do you use masking tape in your house? Can you think of other uses?
