Let’s Get Crafting: A Step-by-Step Guide
Ready for the easiest DIY project ever? Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Installing the Towel Bar
This step is as straightforward as it gets. Find the perfect spot in your closet for your new organizer, grab your level, screwdriver, and hammer, and install the towel bar securely.
Pro Tip: Consider installing the towel bar on the back of your closet door to save space.
Step 2: Preparing the Shower Rings
Remember those pliers? Now’s their time to shine. Grip the plastic connector piece on each shower curtain ring and give it a gentle squeeze. It will snap right off, leaving you with a perfect loop for hanging your accessories.
Robert Kline Art Tip: Smooth out any rough edges left by the connector piece with a bit of sandpaper to protect your delicate fabrics.
Step 3: Organize and Admire!
That’s it! Simply slip your ties, belts, or scarves through the rings and hang them on the towel bar. This system makes it incredibly easy to see all your options and keep everything wrinkle-free.
Bonus Tip: Use different colored shower rings to create categories within your organizer. For example, you could use blue rings for ties, black rings for belts, and white rings for scarves.
