Organize your winter accessories quickly using something you probably already have in your home!
When you live in the midwest you never know when you will need a hat, scarf, mittens or gloves, especially in the winter time. I was tired of picking them up all over the closet floor so I thought about my situation and came up with a quick and inexpensive solution to my accessory madness! In the past, I have tried to use big containers on the closet floor for them to just toss in their stuff, but I found that it was harder to find matching…anything!
I tried to get individual containers, one for each kid, but that soon became a nightmare because the items never found their way to their properly colored spots. I tried baskets and boxes and everything in between. Until one day…the day I ran up to my room to get the *Over-The-Door Shoe Organizer
Once I finished everyone had a row of their own and the other items I put up near the top {things like my husbands face mask thing that he wears when he plows the driveway}. It’s super easy now to just open the door, find what you need, and go. Then when you get back home, you open the door, find a slot in your row and put it all away. It is the best thing I think I have come up with in a long time.
What do you think? Pretty genius huh? I don’t know why I haven’t thought of using this before! My life could have been so much easier a long time ago! Did you organize anything using something you already had at home?

This is a cute idea! Living in Florida, all these items are foreign to me! ha!
Oh Lauren, lol… I’ll send you some mittens! If it’s not cold enough outside, turn your air conditioning on to like 20 degrees and you’ll get the idea & value their worth! LOL
This is genius! I have all of our winter accessories in their own bag by person, but inevitably when I’m trying to get out with the baby I’m digging around for a pair of gloves or a hat I can’t find. This makes much more sense!
I love organizing with tools made for something else. I have my craft supplies in a zippered door hanging makeup organizer. What’s great about the way you did it is everything will have a place and be easy to find again.
