Make Removable Labels
There are some things that sticky labels just don't work for. Morrill suggests plastic wrap as an easy alternative.

Try It: If you're organizing items like antiques, furniture, large equipment or other things that you cannot put traditional labels on safely, just wrap them in plastic wrap and write directly on that.

Why It Works: Plastic wrap sticks to itself rather than other objects, so you can write on it then remove it when the label is no longer needed.
