Unconventional organizing hacks have always been popular, but the most satisfying come from things you already own or ones that come at a bargain. Spending less money and achieving a well-organized house? It's worth it every time, especially when it's easy and requires little effort. The Dollar Tree has plenty of easy hacks for pretty storage solutions, and this one is no exception. For this hack, you'll need some shower curtain rings — you can grab a 12-pack of Dollar Tree's Home Collection Clear Plastic Shower Curtain Rings for $1.50 – and have your closet looking picture-worthy in no time.
Shower curtain rings are one of the most versatile items for organizing and home decor. From TikTok DIYs that turn them into unique lighting features to using them to craft Christmas ornament decorations, the possibilities are endless. However, by using these curtain rings for your purses, jeans, and belts that currently overwhelm your closet, the possibilities won't be the only thing that's endless. So will your closet space.
How to organize your closet with shower curtain rings
Unfortunately, everyone makes mistakes when organizing their closet, but this hack is so easy that hopefully, there won't be any mistakes to correct. Start with your purses, jeans (or pants with belt loops), and belts. Clear plastic rings will work best for purses and belts because they can be fastened to prevent them from falling off. S-hooks will work better for pants, though you can use either. For purses, hang one per ring, then transfer those rings to either hangers to hang on the rack or onto the rack itself (if the ring's diameter is large enough). If you choose to hang the rings on a hanger, you can place multiple rings on the same hanger to utilize the depth of the space.
Do the same with the belts, weaving the belts on the rings by the buckles. After they're all strung, you can choose to put them on hangers or clasp the rings together into a chain, placing the whole chain on a hanger. Incorporate round hangers, similar to the DOITOOL Clothes Hanger, to save even more space.
For pants, fold each pair lengthwise and thread the belt loops onto a ring or S-hook. This will allow them to hang vertically and avoid any stretching or creasing that occurs when folding them over a hanger, as is usually done. This method of storing pants also helps save space while allowing you to view all your pants at once. However, this trick only works with pants that have belt loops, so it may not work for all of the pants in your closet. For items without the capacity to be hooked, use Rovedcity Plastic Clothes Pins as a workaround.
