World’s Simplest DIY Scarf Organizer

Today I’m going to show you a project that is embarrassingly simple and inexpensive.  It has made a huge difference in the function and organization of my closet, however, so it’s definitely worth sharing!  It’s a DIY scarf organizer you can make with things you probably have on hand already!

I am loving scarves for their ability to transform a plan t-shirt into something a little more interesting.  They are also amazing for hiding food stains, baby slobber, and evidence of craft projects gone awry.  They’re the best.

So needless to say, I’ve been accumulating more and more of these lovely accessories, and they’ve begun taking up precious space in my teeny tiny closet. 

Since you’re reading this post I bet you have a few scarves of your own, so let me show you how to hang scarves and make them easier to find and keep organized.

How to Organize Scarfs with a DIY Hanging Scarf Organizer

The first thing you need is a sturdy hanger.  Do not try this with a wire hanger you got from your dry cleaner – it is not strong enough to support the weight!  You need a nice velvet hanger or even a wooden hanger.  A plastic hanger may work, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t guarantee it.

Next, get some shower curtain hooks.  The plain acrylic rings are perfect for this!  Or, if you prefer to be fancy, you can find something with more pizzaz.  🙂
 
Use shower hooks to create a DIY scarf organizer.
 
To create the scarf organizer, loop the shower curtain hooks around the base of the hanger, as shown in the photo below.
 
Finally, tie a ribbon around the neck of the hanger so that the scarf organizer will be uber-sophisticated and ladylike.  Clearly this is the most important step in this project!  😉

Hang this scarf organizer on the back of a door (I stuck a 3M Command Hook to the back of my closet door, hung up my hanger and added my scarves), or on a rod in the closet.  Voila!

I just love how tidy my closet looks with my scarves neatly aligned in one place.  And I love how tidy I look when I wear my scarves minus the dust balls that were hanging off of them from their previous placement on the floor.
