What do you do with all of the product warranties that you have for every single thing in your home? They take up so much room in your home & trying to find the one you need can be frustrating, to say the least. Most of mine were originally in hanging file folders, but once I started to use binders to organize my papers, this was the next logical step.
I started with some 2 inch binders. I ended up making 4 binders – Appliances, Electronics, Outdoor/Tools/Furniture, and Toys/Odds & Ends. The first step was to organize the different piles of product warranties into groups. (what a mess)
Then I got the supplies that I’d need to get them into the binders, Page Protectors, Binder Pouches & Dividers.
Then I started to put the product warranties into page protectors & if they were thick they went into the pouches.
Different things went into their own tabs.
I printed out a sheet of card stock to separate the different sections for Bathroom, Kitchen, Small Kitchen Appliances, Office, Office… you get the idea.
I repeated this for all 4 of the binders until I was done. This took me a few days to get it organized the way I wanted it, but it was worth it. (especially since I always forget the ratio of rice to water when I’m using my rice cooker, ahem)
Another nice thing about having these binders is that the warranties are easy for the other family members to find. They just have to look at the spines of the binders to know which one they need.
Happy Creating everyone!
