Hanging Organizer ~ Tutorial

With a New Year, organizing always is at the top of my list!  Limited on space, I use the inside of my closet door as a 'catch all' for all that is important to me.  


 

From patterns, charts, notes and stuff...it accumulates rather quickly and becomes an unsightly mess!

My solution:  A Hanging Organizer.  Not just any organizer.  One that will take care of the inside of the door issue, but also for the tools and things I use every day.

From this:


To this:



Double pockets!  Fabric on the inside, clear vinyl on the outside!  I couldn't be happier with how this one turned out!  

If you are interested in making one similar to this, I have a tutorial on Fort Worth Fabric Studio Blog today!


I would love to see your version of this Hanging Organizer!

  1. That is very cool! I made one with vinyl several years ago to hang longarm rulers in but mine doesn't have as many pockets or as much stability as yours. While mine still works fine and has stood the test of time, I like yours better. Thanks for the tute! I'll have to make one for the back of my closet door someday!

    2. StorageManiac 4-Shelf Hanging Shelves from Bizarkdeal

      I have limited closet space and storage so I am always looking for solutions that will help the situation. This is a great option! It is super easy to install with its velcro fastener on the top. It stays in place and is also pretty secure as long as you don't overload it. The picture shows hats, but it is big enough that you can use it for a wide variety of things. I have tee shirts and scarves on mine. They stay nicely on the shelf and as long as you don't overload the shelf, the shelf stays nice and even without bowing. I really like that it also makes things visible and easy to grab. Convenience is key when you have a busy lifestyle and this organizer really helps. I highly recommend it, especially if you have limited storage space.

    1. I have limited space so I use every inch I can find! The inside of my door has been the 'catch all' for so many things, it just needed a make over!

    1. It got to a point where I couldn't find anything! It was in need of a make-over and hopefully it will make my life a little easier! That remains to be seen!

  4. Years ago I made dozens of these with pockets to hold the packages of soups and gravies that could be hung inside your pantry door.

    1. They are perfect for so many things and places! I remember making a diaper holder back in the day…not with vinyl, but it worked well for our small nursery!

  5. Great organiser, I wouldn't have though of adding the clear vinyl, it works great. I checked out the tutorial and found your 'Hanging a Mini Quilt' tutorial, I haven't seen that method before and I love it. Thank you.

    1. The clear vinyl is great to see small things or being able to take a quick look at a reference chart! I'm not sure the hanging method is the best solution for the organizer, but its a great option!

  10. This is such a great idea, I should make one for my kitchen...maybe then the counter and chest freezer wouldn't collect so much random crap?
