If you've been reading along, or searched the blogs for closet organization and landed here, you've been subject to our closet organization and re-vamping process. So far we've re-designed our linen closet, Dearest Daughter's closet and our Little Man's closet. This weekend hubby began the design process while I began the long process of clothing elimination and hanger replacement for our closet.
It all started with researching what color we wanted our closet to be: white, oak or cherry. We decided we are worth it and chose cherry. Quickly I realized while white plastic hangers work, why go through the expense of using cherry if you are keeping white plastic hangers ... I repeat we are worth it. Thus began the hunt for reasonably prices cherry hangers. If any of you have every priced out cherry hangers for your closet you now are laughing with me.
I was able to find solid wood suit hangers in a cherry finish sold by the box but found these hangers did not include a grip strip for clothing. What's a grip strip? A grip strip is a small piece of rubber or tacky like substance applied to hangers (think dry cleaner hangers) to ensure clothing does not fall off the hanger easily. Well, when there's a will there's a way is what my Grandmother used to say so off to the local craft store I went.
After much discussion with the employees we came up with a possible solution: stick-it craft felt. Here's a quick tutorial on the process:
1. Supplies: Stick-it craft felt, wooden hangers, marker, ruler & scissors.
2. Measure twice - cut once.
3. Peel & stick.
4. Finished!
