SCARF HOLDER

So along with the growing fashion of scarves for daily use, my scarf collection has grown a bit out of control over the last year or so.  I've bought fancy hangers (which don't work), I've draped them over things (and what I really mean is everything) and I've even thrown them in a box.  What I've found out is everyone of these just don't work.  I end up pushing my scarves aside and forgetting all about them since I've moved them out of sight.  I decided to make one of these pinterest scarf holders (with modification of course).  So here it is:



SCARF HOLDER

2 Plastic Hangers
2 Packs of Shower Curtain Hooks (round plastic versions)
1 Spool of 1/4 inch wide ribbon (to tie)
Scissors

Cut strips of ribbon about 5 inches long.  You'll need quite a few of these since you will tie everything together with them.  Tie your two plastic hangers together with the ribbon.  You will want to tie all sides of the hangers together so don't skip out on this step.  You can use one hanger for this project but I wouldn't recommend it.  The weight of the scarfs will flex the hanger and it probably won't last long (see the middle picture on the bottom for what I'm talking about when it comes to this).  After you are done tying the two hangers together, set your plastic shower rings in a line (up with the bottom of the hangers) all the way across.  Tie each  each of the rings to the hangers on the top and then tie the rings to each other.  After you get the first row of hooks tied on you can begin to tie the second row.  This row you need to set the the hooks in between the previous row..  Tie this hooks on to each hook above it.  When you are done tieing everything on, make sure you have good knots (double and triple the knots if you are worried about them holding) then trim off the extra strands of ribbon.  Slip tie your favorite scarfs to your holder and hang it in your closet for easy display.

This whole project cost me $2.29!  You can't beat that!
