Need a little more room in your closet? Try one of these hanger space savers. This ribbon space saver allows you to get a few more items in your closet without taking up more rack or bar space.
Ribbon Space-Saver Hanger Tutorial
*Ribbon or belting - You will need ribbon if you are making a closet space saver for baby, children, or lightweight clothing. Use strong belting/webbing if you are making this to hold heavier clothing items. I used a ribbon that was 25 inches long. My loops were pretty big, so I may use a shorter ribbon next time.
*D-Rings-we used 1 1/4"
*Sewing machine and thread
First, sew a loop in the top of your ribbon with a D-ring inside. I folded it over twice for clean edges. You will use the D-ring to hang on the first hanger.
Next, sew loops evenly down your ribbon. Make sure you stitch each loop down with a couple of lines or go back over your work. Only one sewn line will rip through. You will want to make sure it is fully reinforced.
For your final loop, make a circle and sew it down. This way you will not have any exposed ribbon edges.
This is what your hanger space saver should look like from the back.
And here's the hanger space saver from the front.
Hang the D-ring on your first hanger, then slip additional hangers through all the loops on your space saver. No more clothes on the floor--yea!

As someone who lives in a small house (950 sq ft). I love space-saving ideas. Thank you!
this is a very cute idea...sometimes I make things too complicated---like thinking I would have to buy one of these instead of realizing how simple it would be to make one.

This is way smart! Thanks so much for sharing, I'll be linking to this.
Isn't it funny that we're often so amazed by this type of things. We've gotten so used to plastic replacements from Walmart that we forget how much can be homemade.
Thanks for the reminder and a great tutorial.

So great for grouping the kids out fits together!! Thanks so much for the tut!!!
What would you suggest using instead of ribbon for heavier clothing? I want to make this but haven't a clue what type of webbing to get!
I love this idea, so great.
Hi Brandi,
Try belting. That is the stuff they use for handles on totes and such. You can find it both online and in fabric stores. It comes in a lot of different colors too so you can find one that matches your personality :)
Just (finally) made one. Love it!! I'm trying to get myself organized to get at least a few work outfits put together each weekend for the coming week, so these will come in SO handy!
Thanks again!
Thank you for this idea. This is just wonderful. I really need to make some of this because my wife and kids just got lots of clothes and this space saver will definitely save space in their closets Bergen! Thank you again for sharing. I hope you keep on posting materials like this.
