Closet Organization

Recently, I read a tutorial about creating very cute (and functional) closet dividers for children's closets. The original version is lovely, but I needed to make something that would work in an adult's closet that does not have a removable rod. I also wanted to avoid the cost of the wooden letters used in the original tutorial. My version is shown above, and though my photography skills may leave a lot to be desired, the finished project looks nice in my home and cost very little to complete.

Closet Divider Tutorial:

Estimated Cost: $2.00-$3.00

Materials:
Thin cardboard sheets (pieces from a cereal box will work)
Mod Podge
Gloss decoupage sealer
Scrapbook paper
Scissors or Craft Knife
Circular shapes (jar lids, etc) for tracing. You will need one large shape to make the outer portion of the ring, and one smaller shape for the inner portion.
Pencil

How-To:
1) Determine the size of divider ring that can be accommodated by your closet. Match this size with a jar lid (or similar item) that you can use as a tracing template.
2) Cut a square piece of cardboard that will accommodate your tracing template.
3) Decoupage the front and back of the cardboard with scrapbook paper. Allow to dry.
4) Trace the outer and inner circles of your closet divider ring.
5) Cut out the ring shape.
6) Make a single horizontal cut across one side of the ring. This will allow the ring to fit easily over your closet rod. (Steps 5 and 6 can be combined into a single step.)
7) Spray with gloss sealant and allow to dry.

This project is attractive, inexpensive, and simple! Have fun organizing!
