DIY Closet Dividers

I saw some dividers used to sort baby clothes according to sizes and thought that since I was happy with the way Bailey's letters came out, I was capable of doing these as well. I wanted to use wooden door hangers but both craft stores I went to didn't have any, so I had to get creative. Here is how they came out.


Here are the materials I gathered to do my project. I ended up not using the polka dot ribbon though, you will understand why when you see the finished product. I honestly had no idea what I wanted to do with these, I just bought stuff I thought was cute and went with the room, then started to paint and see where it went.





This is where I got stuck and put it away for about 2 weeks. I couldn't decide what to do since there was sooo much white. I didn't want to overload them with butterflies, flowers, leaves, etc. so I decided to add a few polka dots (well...maybe a little more than a few). The sizes in the stencil form were bothering me too so I decided to fill them in so they were solid. Last thing I did was hot glue the ribbons so I could hang them. I ran out of ribbon for one, so I need to still get that for the project can be complete and I can hang them all. I am pretty happy with how they came out, considering how frustrated and stumped I got with what I wanted to do with them.


After adding the polka dots, I felt much better with the final product. I think polka dots make everything better! :) The numbers still bother me, but hey...these were made with love for Bailey! I think she would be proud of her mommy.

    1. I am sorry I am just seeing this. I had a stencil that I bought from Michael's. One of those plastic ones. Nothing fancy!
