Keep Hair Bows And Accessories Organized With A Curtain Ring DIY

With limited drawers, cabinets, and counter space, bathroom and closet organization is tricky to perfect. Even if you avoid the bathroom storage mistakes everyone makes, you might find yourself with messy drawers. If you've ever tried to organize your hair accessory drawer, in particular, you may know the frustration of setting everything in place nicely, with or without organizers, and eventually having it turn to chaos from the drawer opening and closing and rough mornings when you can't find anything. The small items struggle in a drawer, but you can turn them into a gorgeous display that makes them easier to find and use by hanging them from curtain rings on a curtain rod.

Many people keep their hair accessories in the bathroom, but some choose to store them in the closet, as well. Luckily, this hack that makes surprising use of a curtain rod is suitable for both. In fact, the colorful display can even be a great way to show off your collection in a bedroom. All you need for this hack is a standard curtain rod, mounting tools and supplies, and curtain rings with clips. Depending on the number of hair accessories, you may need a smaller or larger rod.

Another factor to consider is the material, as some work better than others in a given space. For example, there are some downsides to wooden curtain rods you probably haven't considered, such as not being as moisture-resistant as plastics and some metals, such as stainless steel. While wood and rust-prone metals are great for closets and bedrooms, you'll want to avoid them for bathrooms.

Finally, you can consider mounting options. You can hang the rod using the screws and brackets that many rods come with, or you can purchase removable wall adhesive hooks designed for curtain rod use if you are a renter. Some rods include rings as well, but make sure that they are rings with clips and that you have enough for your number of accessories. Once you have chosen a location and have all of your materials, this project is simple and relatively quick to complete.

Just like a regular curtain rod, though, it is important to make sure that the rod is level. Measure and mark where you want the brackets to be, and make sure they are level before and after installing them according to their directions, and make any adjustments to level it out. If the rod is uneven but the brackets are level, the rod could be bent or defective, and it is best to replace it.

With the rod installed, the only thing left to do is add the rings to the rod by sliding them over it. Clip hair bows and headbands directly on the rings. You can also display hair clips by fastening them around a strip of fabric or wide headband and clipping the fabric. When you are done, remove any empty rings to keep the look tidy, but keep them nearby to add back if necessary.
