Now that Fall is here and Winter isn’t too far off, it’s time for my favorite accessory - my scarves.  I love scarves, but I hate having a big jumbled pile of them.  I wanted an easy, inexpensive way to organize and hang my scarves.  I’ve seen a lot of cool DIY scarf hangers involving shower curtain rings and rings attached to hangers.  I’m far too lazy to take the 2 seconds to feed my scarves through a ring however… so I really needed a hook option, where I could simply hang them.  I was searching for one of those belt hangers - with the hooks on either side, but they don’t seem to be a common item around my parts.  The one I did find was $30 - for a hanger!?  My solution may not be as pretty, but it was cheap and is very practical for me. 

1. 1. I wanted to be able to hang this in my closet, so I purchase a “robust” plastic hanger from the dollar store.  A two-pack for $1.00.
2. 2. For the hooks I grabbed a plastic wall mountable hanging system with multiple hooks… also from the dollar store. 
3. 3. My idea was to simply tie the two hangers together, so I also picked up some basic cotton string.
4. 4. I had this grand idea of not just tying the items together but actually wrapping the string around the entire hanger… but remember I said I was lazy? Yeah, so I just wrapped extra string around in a few places to make sure it was secure.

This project cost me $3.00 and only took a few minutes to create.  No more pile-o-scarves stuffed in a forgotten drawer!  I have more scarves to organize still, but this is a start.  These would probably be my favourite ones, so they are going to hang in my closet with my clothes.  I have some other ideas for my more seasonal, heavier winter scarves as well as my sheer and silk scarves. Posts on those to come!
