It’s Handmade Monday and I didn’t have anything really ready so I decided to share an idea I had awhile back when I was trying to organize my close. I have a couple of pairs of those scrunchy boots that won’t stand up and are always falling over and in the way. I don’t have room to store them in boxes so I had an idea when I was going through my closet and getting rid of hangers. I could use skirt hangers for them! I’m sure someone else has had this idea, but here is what I did:
I used the stick on hooks and placed them on a little wasted space (according to directions which come with the hooks –very easy to do). I did two since I had 2 pair of boots to deal with but I could have probably gotten 4 if I had placed some below in another layer. I just held the first pair against the wall to see where the second hook needed to go.
Then I clipped the boots onto the hanger and hung them up. Easy! I think the whole project took me less than 15 minutes. And it’s nice to have my boots hanging up out of the way and I know that they won’t get damaged or stepped on or forgotten when boot season comes back. The only real difficulty was getting a good photo, but I think you can see what I did in this series of shots.
On the subject 
of organizing and those little stick on hooks, I used them on the inside of my pantry door to hang a lot of my little odds and ends like measuring spoons and cups and hot pads. It saves me a couple of drawers and space is at a premium. They really are a space saver!
I put them up after I got my cabinets refaced and replaced the louvered doors on the pantry. It’s so nice to be able to put my hands on my tools! I think organization makes such a big difference when you’re working on any kind of project.
OK, so I think I’ll head on over to Handmade Monday and see what everyone’s “cooking up” over there. I know they always have some lovely things and some good ideas. Just click on the link and go blog hopping.
What a clever little idea. Boots always take up so much space. And I like the idea for the kitchen too – hmmm, while I’m cooking tonight, I shall be hunting around and seeing what could be hung up. Heck, I think this might mean yet another burnt offering!! 😉
I wish I could get everything as organized as these two things. Oh well. 🙂
A really natty idea. Thanks for sharing.
A great idea for the boots. Get fed up with them being constantly creased where they just naturally fall over. Hope you have a good week.
Exactly, they do get creased because they will not stand up! This should take care of that as well.
ooooh clever! doesn’t it feel great when things are organised! (not that i get to experience this feeling very often :))
i really want some of those sticky hooks now! x
I am Miss Totally Unorganized from the get go. I am internally unorganized so I have to do things externally to help me along. Not that I am ever really that successful. I’m still working on my craft room (note, it has not appeared on these pages and I started LAST fall!)
You’re so organised!brilliant idea.
Now you’re making me laugh. Thank you but…no, I’m not really. However, I do try to be.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Great idea – thanks for sharing. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best! Jo x
Thank you all. And, I hope to be here next Monday but we are preparing for a potential Hurricane (Isaac) who is out there in the Atlantic as we speak with his eyes on us! I hope he heads back into the Atlantic and bothers only the fish, but we shall see.
what a great idea, you can never have too many hooks!
Great idea about using free space. If you’ve got small living space (like i do at the moment, esp the kitchen) you start to wonder where all your stuff should go… this corner or maybe that corner? hmmm… 🙂
Very simple but clever idea. I have all my gadgets in the kitchen hanging up but never thought to incorporate it into bedroom storage.Thanks for the info. Easy peasy when you know! Hugs Mrs A.
