Tutorial: Scarf/Belt hanger

As I have been going through the entire house eliminating clutter and unnecessary items, I decided I wanted to make my closet just a little bit neater with a scarf/belt hanger. Money is tight, and while there are some very nice store bought options, I thought I would use some items I already had laying around the house.

SUPPLIES:
Hangers
Shower Curtain  Rings (cheap plastic ones are perfect)
Electrical Tape

Optional:
Yarn
Crochet Hook recommended on yarn
Yarn Needle


INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Lay out the shower curtain hooks inside the hanger.


Step 2: Tape the Rings to the hanger and to each other. I found bring the tape up from underneath worked the best.

Optional:

Step 3: Single crochet around the outside perimeter of the hanger, going inside the rings when you get to them.  Don't crochet around all the rings in the center.

Step 4: Wrap yarn around the center rings. When you reach a section you have already wrapped, use your yarn needle to "tunnel" through it to the other side, then continue wrapping.

I made the crochet one for my belts. I felt that the yarn would help keep them from slipping.

For my scarves and pantyhose, I just used tape as I needed the items to slide and I did not want fibers from the yarn getting on my scarves.

On a side note, I used a belt hanger I had but didn't care for as a belt hanger to organize my tank tops. I am not much of a tank top person, but I have a few for layering. By using the belt hanger, I was able to free up precious space in my drawers.
