Pinterest is my crack – D.I.Y. Scarf Hangar

1/10 of my scarf collection

Let me start off by saying, Pinterest is my crack.  I can spend hours and hours and hours on that site pinning things that I’ll someday hope to do once I get off the site and get productive.  Pinterest is the ultimate catch 22.  I find all sorts of ways to be productive, save space, and do things I enjoy, but I’m so busy “pinning” these items to my “boards” I never do them.  Thank you Pinterest.  Anyway, I did take the time to try out one little project, a scarf hangar.

Handy Dandy Hangar, Shower Hooks

Last year, I became obsessed with scarves and as with everything else I do, I didn’t stop until I had a nice bundle.

I finally got tired of having scarves draping all my furniture, so I pulled out one of my handy dandy velvet like space saving hangars and completed one of my Pinterest hobbies.  Simple.  All you need is a hangar and some shower hooks (that close).

Put the shower hooks on the hangar, hang the scarves, BAM…..  Scarf hangar.  There’s only one problem, all the scarves end up bunching on one side if the hangar happens to tip one way or another.  That’s a total Scarf Fail.  Not convenient at all….

Scarf Hangar Fail

Now, being a crafty gal, I keep all sorts of things around the house, including pink animal print duct tape, because you never know when you’ll need pink animal print duct tape.  Now, we all know duct tape is miraculous and can be used for just about anything, I mean anything.  I fully believe that given enough time and duct tape, you can solve almost any household problem.

Pink Duct Tape….Yes Please!

I solved my scarf fail by cutting my duct tape into 4-6 inch, pieces and then cutting each piece vertically into 4 “strips”.  I wrapped each strip around the hanger on top of each other to create spacers that would keep the shower hooks separated and ensure my scarves were evenly spaced apart regardless of how many scarves were on the hangar.

I saw other people do this with ribbon, but pink animal print duct tape – even better!  Final product, an awesome scarf hangar that I put in my coat closet.  LOVE IT!
