Storage Solutions : Scarves and Hijabs (Part two of three)

Hello and welcome back to part two the three part series of Storage Solutions: Scarves, Pashminas & Hijabs

In this installment I will share with you DIY scarf organizers, but all of them are made with shower curtain rings. You probably did not think there were enough shower curtain scarf holders to warrant an entire post but let me tell you if I felt like really dragging it out I could probably have found enough for two. For serious.  And since shower curtain rings are so readily available and cheap I thought this would be a fun post! Lets go from easiest to most complicated.

First up, this super simple chain made by Brook Z. It is a version of AttackCat’s original Easy Peasy Scarf Curtain/hanger. I love the idea of using your scarf collection as a bohemian sort of curtain. Love.

Next up is this super cute holder made by attaching shower curtain rings to a wide piece of ribbon. This one was made by Jen of The Borrowed Abode.

This cute little number in Chanel pink & black is made with some shower curtain rings, some ribbon and a clothes hanger. Cheap but cute and clever is always a winning combination. You can see the full how to by Heather @ Dollar Store Crafts

This one is perhaps my favourite but I think that might just be because I am partial to anything that uses an S hook effectively. This number made by Deb ofThe (mis)Adventures of a SFH stealthily uses IKEA S hooks and a towel bar and stainless steel curtain hooks from Target to create this chic scarf holding unit.

PLastic chains realy go far in the storage world. I think I might have featured this in my Cheap Dorm Storage post. Shower curtain rings, plastic chain and a caribaneer make a customizable scarf holder that can be increased at any time. Full how to by Luminesia @ Instructables.

Finally, if you have some time and pretty fabric you have been dying to use, you can always make a holder similar to this one by Jen of The Borrowed Abode. A “Kicked up a notch” version of the hanging ribbon and ring organizer above. Visit the link for a full how to.

And there you have it folks. Six scarf organizers made from shower curtain rings. All fantastic. I hope you enjoyed them and I hope you come back for part three where I’ll share a mess of hanging organizers some to DIY and some to buy. Cheers, Melissa.

Storage Solutions: Dresser Tops

christyy asked:

I have jewellery and other random things (like body sprays, hair ties, makeup, etc.) cluttering my dresser top right now. Do you have any cute ideas for organizing and displaying everything? I also have a mirror hung over it with lots of wall space. thanks, and keep up the awesome work on here! (:

Thanks for the great question Christyy, at first I wasn’t sure how to answer this question because the terms I was searching by were coming up bupkiss. Then today it occurred to me that you need to compartmentalize your trinkets and sprays and with that it was super easy!

First off can I tell you how lucky you are that you have lots of wall space above your dresser and around your mirror.  You can do things like:

Hang a series of painted drawers perfect for holding jewelry, body sprays and hair things. Source

Or keep it simple with a single drawer organizer tray painted to match your room. Source

As-easy-as-it-gets-hooks can hold near every kind of accessory you have if you look around or the right ones. (I managed to lose the source of this photo, does anyone know it’s origin?)

Now that we have covered the walls, lets check out some nifty dresser top ideas:

You could pick up a couple lampshades from the thrift shop and fashion them into bowls for your hair do-dads. Source

If you sew you could make yourself a couple fabric caddies for your sprays and cosmetics. Source

I have had a love affair with these tins since January. You could easily fashion up some couture ones of your own for your make up brushes. Source

Last but not least, you could raid your mom’s china stash for the perfect little dishes for your hair bits, and make up etc. Source

Also worth checking out are my jewelry storage, accessories storage  and make up storage tags.

I hope this post helped you clear some of that clutter! Thanks for asking such a great question and please, don’t forget to share pictures when you are done! Cheers,M.
