So, I was at the Dollar Tree recently and saw a whole display rack of these shower curtain rings.  As a professional organizer, I am cheap frugal. So I wondered about their uses beyond just holding up the shower curtain.

Purses.

Are all of your purses different sizes and shapes? Purses can be really hard to organize because the handles are in so many different sizes. Hang each purse on an individual shower curtain ring. Hanging each purse on its own ring works great because it doesn’t matter how long the handles are.  They all hang neatly!

Scarves.

I love using shower curtain rings for scarves because they work equally well with straight scarves and infinity scarves. You can hang them like the purses, right on the rod. Alternatively, attach the rings to a thick hanger to save more space.

Hats.

Does someone at your house have a large collection of baseball caps? It can be difficult to keep them neat. Keeping them organized can also be a challenge. Hang the hats through their loops onto shower curtain rings and thread the rings onto a hanger. Easy peasy for a small collection. For a larger collection, mount small curtain rods onto your closet wall or door. Hook up the hats right through the back. It is easy to see all of the hats at a glance. And they are easy to get on and take off the rod, too.

Belts.

Belts can be a real challenge to keep organized and untangled. Thread the shower curtain ring through the belt buckle. Depending on how many belts you have, you can hang them straight on the rod, as pictured above. Or if you only have a few, then on a hanger (like the scarves in the picture above). If you have space on a wall in the closet, install a curtain rod. You can slide them on or off easily.

Now that you’ve organized your bedroom, here are some tips on how to organize kids’ clothes.

So what are you waiting for? Go grab some shower curtain rings for a buck and get organizing!
