... and a DIY Scarf Hanger

I hadn't realised until a recent sort out quite how many scarves I had! Some of these have moved their way into my fabric stash and others to the charity shop... but the others still needed somewhere to live so I made a scarf hanger!

I've seen various scarf storage solutions using hangers and plastic shower rings, but I wanted to keep it all wooden to match the rest of my wardrobe hangers. So I took a wooden hanger and pulled the bottom part off on one side (these were cheap hangers, so came apart very easily!)

For the loops I used some spare wooden curtain rings, slid them on and then fixed the hanger back together with some all purpose glue. [I actually changed my mind and used white hoops, but forgot to take a photo!]

To make the hanger look pretty I decorated with napkins using a decoupage technique. The napkins aren't my usual style or colours, but I actually really like the finished effect!

 Once the decoupage had dried, I finished with a thin layer of clear matte varnish.....

..... added the scarfs.... and that's all there is to it!

I used 10 hoops, which is handy as I've still got loads a couple of scarves left to sort out! I may even need to make another hanger for them all!

This was a really easy project, but a great way to organise scarves in a small space. Now that I can see them all, I'm also hoping it will make it easier to find the one I want!!
