DIY Closet Dividers

starb4long

??  I know I saw a slew of posts a little while back about DIY closet dividers.  I'm sure I could figure it out when I go to the store, but does anyone have tips or how to's?  I'm going to use cute scrapbook paper and modpodge I think...but the bigger question is, what does one use for the actual divider portion?

 

TIA!

I'm going to use door knob hangers...

They have the wooden doorknob hangers at Hobby Lobby (or Michaels).  I painted mine...  You can cut a slit in the wood to get them over your closet pole.

I wish I would have thought of this yesterday when I was at Michaels, this would be a great DIY project to keep me occupied!

I used the wood door hangers from Michael's. Since I have wire shelving and not a rod, I am using ribbon to attach them to the shelf.

I didn't sand the hangers first and really wish I would have before painting. I did use mod podge to adhere the decorations, but only to the underside of the paper. I was afraid it would be to sticky and I was too cheap to buy a sealant. They look very homemade, but I'm going for a vintage girlie feel in the nursery, so it actually works.

 

Here is the link to the ones I made....

I did them! They were incredibly simple. Here are directions I posted on another site:

Supplies:

-6 wooden oval picture frames from Michaels ($1.00 each - you could do letters too, but I liked these better and they were cheaper)

-Scrapbook paper

-Exacto knife

-Spray glue

-Stickers

I took the metal hinges out of the frame and sprayed the top of the frame with the spray glue. Then put it face down on a piece of scrapbook paper (that was on the blank side). I trimmed the paper down and then used the exacto knife to cut around the outside and inside of the frame. I used stickers (also from Michaels) to label the dividers. In our closet, there is a bar that can be taken off, so I was able to get one side off, slide the divider on, and then put the bar back on. If you didn't have something like that, you could always use a ribbon to tie it.

There is a link to my blog in my siggy in case you want to see a picture (I have never been able to figure out posting pictures here)

3.  traced wood hangers x2 onto large paper chosen (including circle part)

4.  cut out paper

5.  used mod podge semi-gloss glue to glue paper onto both sides, then on one side, used mod podge over the whole thing...

6.  let it dry on one side, then repeat step 5 on the other side, using mod podge glue over the entire thing.

7.  then i got foam stickers and put :  0-3 months, 3-6 months, etc.

All the posted Closet Dividers are so cute and unique.  

I'm sorry about the lack of light, but I posted a picture below of the Dividers I made.  I had the white dividers from a previous project.  I went to Michaels and bought some stickers and ribbons and just stuck them on there. I did both the front and back sides of the dividers.

I talked about doing this too, but my DH said "good luck" which pretty much means he doesnt plan on checking sizes before he puts them back in the closet. I am blessed to have a husband who helps out with most the laundry so I can't really complain.....but how can I get him on board. It would make life so much easier!!
