A Cheap & Easy Organization Project

Unlike trips to the Container Store or ideas for "simplifying" found in Martha Stewart Living or Real Simple, I have a good idea that's fairly simple. Though not as cheap as my binder clip filing system, it's very easy and makes a big difference.

This idea is great for organizing your necklaces. I was forever trying to neatly store my necklaces, either in my jewelry box or in other containers, to no avail. Finally, I decided to put up hooks on the back of my closet door. Here is the result:

The hooks are 3M Mini Hooks with Command Adhesive (Available online at Amazon for $2.22/6). {As an aside, if you've never used Command Adhesive, you're missing out on one of the manmade wonders of the world. You can easily remove them without wall damage. I have used the velcro version and poster version for holding up various items such as power strips, cable modems, etc etc...}

No closet door? Use a wall or the side of a dresser (that's the beauty of Command Adhesive!) Here's a close up of the hook. The fabric behind the necklaces was an afterthought, mainly to prevent the BANG BANG BANG of the necklaces when I opened and closed the door. I put a piece of batting underneath the fabric, too. As it turned out, it adds a little something.
