Use Pipe Cleaners to Attach Label Tags
By tiffanytallent1981
I found butterfly cut-outs that I loved and laminated them. I then punched a hole in the center at the top of each. To attach the butterflies, I stuck the pipe cleaners through the holes and the middle slot of each drawer. With a quick twist, they were on! I just tucked the pipe cleaner that was sticking up behind the butterflies.

Put a Knot in Stained Clothing
