To create this amazing teacher organization tool in your classroom, start by selecting a great rolling cart. I got my 12-drawer cart from Amazon, and I love it! Designing labels to fit the two different drawer sizes was a blast, and the sizes are super functional too! There’s also a 10-drawer cart option that works great too. I bought a different rolling cart online last year and the drawers were an absolute pain to open. These ones are infinitely better! Feel free to learn from my trial-and-error, and get the right cart the first time!
Next, put your cart together! I ended up spray painting the metal frame and it was completely worth it, in my opinion. I used this spray paint from Walmart, but you can probably get it anywhere. One can was enough, but I got two and did an extra coat just for good measure!
This cart also comes with metal knobs, which I opted not to use. The drawers are easy enough to open as-is, and the knobs detract from the decorative labels! Besides, who’s going to be upset with one less assembly step?! Not me!
However, if you do choose to use the knobs, I recommend installing them after you’ve attached the labels to the drawers. Just cut a small slit or hole in the label with a box cutter or scissors where the knob will go, and then install the knob. But again, I like how the drawers and labels look better without the knobs, and I didn’t lose any functionality without them!
The third step is to decide which theme you’re going to decorate your cart with! (This might be the most difficult step of all…) The good news: I’ve bundled tons of my Rolling Cart Labels together into a MEGA Bundle so that you can switch out the labels as often as you like! Or you can purchase any of the themes individually from my TpT shop, if you already have a favorite!
After selecting your theme, just print the labels, trim as needed, and attach them to the drawers. I use this double sided tape to attach the labels, and it works great! Trust me, this tape holds so well and it makes this step super simple!

I’m so happy with how these labels turned out, and I can’t wait to see them in your classrooms! Share your amazing rolling carts with me on Instagram @ashleymckenzietpt!
