Another Clip It Up Idea!!!

Here is another clip it up idea (if you have limited space). I have this great hand made shelf. Dave made this for me - he is the guy who made built-ins, shelves, and cabinets in my office. I had some space and thought (as I wandered aimlessly throwing items in my cart at Target) - HEY - I can put a faux clip it up under my shelf. I got a tension rod ($4.99) to place under the shelf on the brackets (see photo).


ignore the mess, focus on the shelf and tension rod under it
While looking at tension rods, I turned around and spied these bad boys! They are Loft brand clips for hanging curtains. A loop with a clip attached! WOW! Saves me a step from getting the shower curtain rings and binder clips. These clips HOLD curtains, surely the can hold my crafts. These are nice small rings too - so they don't dangle low on the rod.

I dangled some of my cards on the clips to see how it would work. It's wonderful. Now just to organize some of my things - and give me some space on my desk!


What do you think? Another easy idea for a clip it up organizer -- without using desk space!

Totally great idea. I posted on my blog about my version, and we are thinkin' along the same lines! And don't worry about the mess on your desk. If it was neat and tidy I would be wondering!

I don't like to se my stuff. I like it stored away so I can't see it. Maybe it is because if I have it too handy the boys just get into it.
