Make it

- 1
Choose one item or group of supplies and write a short, clear label in large letters.
- 2
Add one simple visual cue, such as a line, dot pattern, or small symbol, leaving the words easy to read.
- 3
Place the label beside the item and check it from your usual viewing distance. Enlarge the lettering if needed.
Short on energy? Write the name clearly and skip decoration.
A good place to stop: One label you can comfortably read is finished.
Make it work for you: Use a large piece of paper and simple lettering. Ask someone to write your chosen words if hand use is difficult.
Another route: Make a second label using the same visual cue so the pair feels related.
