♦This
Hardwood Scarf Hanger
 pictured above from Stacks and
Stacks holds 10 scarves (and costs less than $10). Just pull them through the holes and they hang in
place. The hanger hangs on your closet rod. You can't get any easier or more
compact storage than that. Got 30 scarves? Get three scarf hangers. They'll take
up about as much room as three regular hangers. Even if you folded the scarves
and stacked them in a drawer with dividers, they'd take more space and wrinkle
more often than if used the scarf hanger. Look for other scarf hangers that
might hang over the door or on the back of the door.
♦You also could roll the scarves (to keep them wrinkle-free) and stuff each scarf
into a plastic pocket of a vinyl plastic pocket organizer that either hangs in the
closet or over the door. Get one with translucent pockets so you can pick out
the right scarf to wear at a glance.
♦Of course, you can drape scarves over an ordinary hanger and secure them using
old fashioned clothespins. But you will risk leaving a mark or indentation on the scarf so
place the clothes pin strategically. Or try draping the scarves over a pants or
slacks
hanger that is made in a no-slip friction design (to keep pants from sliding off the
hanger).
♦Another out-of-the-box idea for organizing and storing scarves is to attach a
horizontal towel holder to the inside of your closet wall or closet door. Then
drape the scarves over it. To help keep them in place, cross the scarf ends over
or tie a very loose simple knot in each.
♦Or think creatively and use things around your home to make a scarf hanger. For
instance, if you take long pipe cleaners (from an arts and craft store) and
shape them into individual wide open loops that are secured around an ordinary
hanger bottom, you have a makeshift scarf hanger. Drape your scarves through the
loop formed by the pipe cleaner, which also has a nice texture too that will
keep them from sliding away to the floor.
