Handy tidying hack

Avoid unwanted clutter with this neat stair tidy

Fed up with your belongings being strewn all over the house in rooms where they don’t belong? If so, a clearly labelled wooden stair tidy is a great way to gather everything up and return it all back upstairs. The edding 550 permanent marker is perfect for labelling your stair tidy with bold lettering and a chunky arrow pointing upstairs. Even better, the barrel of the marker is made from 100% recycled aluminium, so it’s great for the planet as well.

Step-by-step

Step 1

Write the “Up” label on your wooden box using an edding 550 permanent marker. Thanks to its broad round nib, this marker is great for adding both the chunky arrow and the more delicate lettering. The ink also dries fast and shows up really well on light backgrounds.

Step 2

Once you’ve finished labelling your wooden box, place it on the stairs. Throughout the day, simply collect up any items that need returning upstairs. The only question left is: who will take the box up with them?
