How to make conversational task clips.
By DIY MavenYesterday while surfing, I came across these ‘Importance Task Clips’ at Perpetual Kid (12 for $7.99). I thought they were a clever organizational tool and--better yet--totally diyable!
What you need:
several medium-sized (1 1/4") binder clips
a label-maker OR
an extra-fine-point paint pen (I used an opaque white)
What you do:
For the label option, you’ll want to experiment with the ‘width’ function on your label maker. I set my P-Touch (model PT-80) to ½ width size so the letters are skinnier. Then, you just type, print and trim your labels to fit the clips. I applied one label to the top of the clip and another to one of the sides.
For the paint pen option, I’d suggest choosing short words, so they fit. Again, I ‘painted’ the words on the top of the clip and on one of the sides.
