Storing Scarves

This idea for scarf storage was inspired by how some stores display the scarves they are selling.

I have one hanger for Winter scarves and one for Summer scarves. This idea is good for me not only because it is easy to pull the hanger out of the closet and see my options, but it also saves me dresser space (which is not plentiful in my room). The scarves won't fall off and one hanger can hold a lot!

Instructions: Do a slip knot around a hanger.

Ta-Dah! An easy and visually pleasing way to store your scarves!

How do you store your scarves? Would love to hear your ideas: spacecadetorganization@gmail.com

Craft Closet Organization Project

     I helped 2 different clients with their craft supplies this past week. Now they both know what they have or where to find their supplies if they decide to make homemade gifts for Christmas!!! :)

Here are the thoughts of the owner of the craft closet whose organization project pics are below:

"My poor craft closet had been raided beyond crazy by my little budding artists to the point we needed serious intervention! Space Cadet to the rescue!! Ellen spent time to sort everything by category from fabric to paint, beads to buttons, scrapbooking to scissors, and assessed what I had and how to best store it bearing in mind what my crafting goals and top three crafts I needed easy access to the supplies for. By the time she had finished, EVERYTHING in the closet was in categorized and organized wonderfully! I cannot wait to start crafting again now that I can see what I have!"

                           BEFORE                                                                          AFTER

SORTING: Would this overwhelm you!?! Space Cadet to the rescue!

As you can see, this closet needed to be ordered! I was able to sort all the items into main categories of craft supplies that were important to my client (Painting, Sewing, Scrapbooking, etc.). All bins now have a specific purpose rather than being a jumble of craft supplies.

As this is a closet in my clients NEW home, there may be more craft supplies yet to be unpacked and supplies from other areas of the home to be added to this closet. Thus, I left room in the closet for new crafting items to easily find an organized home in this closet!

Do you have craft supplies that need to be organized?
