How To Organize Your Winter Gear

Organizing

I needed a system to organize my winter gear. We have our coats hanging in the laundry room entry way but our hats, gloves, scarves ... they were a mess! Here is an easy and inexpensive way I created winter gear storage.

I needed a system to organize my winter gear.  We have our coats hanging in the laundry room entry way but our hats, gloves, scarves … they were a mess!  Here is an easy and inexpensive way I created winter gear storage.

I bought 4 garbage cans from Dollar Tree (one for each family member).

I added chalkboard labels to each trashcan.  Any label would work, I just liked these and I found them at Dollar Tree as well.

I put each person’s name on the label.

I placed each individuals hats, gloves/mittens, scarves, etc in their bin.

I placed Command Hooks on the wall above our coat hanging rack and above each person’s coat.Β  I used Command hooks as I wasn’t sure this system was going to work so I wanted to start with something temporary.

I hung each basket up on the hooks above their jackets.  I was a little worried that they would fall off but they don’t, they stay on quite nicely.

Here we are a year later and I'm still using them, the command hooks have been great so I haven't changed them.

This easy winter gear storage system has worked well for us for several years now. Are you ready for your own winter gear storage?

You can use this same concept and store other things in the trash cans. Here are some ideas

  • toys
  • books
  • cleaning supplies
  • homework supplies
  • art and craft supplies
  • plants

    Wow! What a great idea! That would have been so helpful when I had 3 kids at home. Their hats, scarves & mittens were always a mess!

    I just bought one of these garbage cans the other day. But your idea is really clever, it is large enough to fit all that stuff which usually ends up all over the place.

    I really like this idea for both of my girls to use with their kids! What did you attach to the baskets to be able to hang them?

      Thank you Susan, if you look at about the 6th picture you’ll see the Command Hooks I used to hang them. The basket’s lip is what hooks onto the hooks. There is also a direct link to the command hooks if you click on the highlighted word if it helps.

    Such a great idea. I try new things every year and haven’t found a great solution. Maybe I’ll try this. Thanks for sharing at the To Grandma’s House We Go DIY, Crafts, Recipes and More Wednesday Link Party! Have a great week and join us again!
