If you’re like me and have a collection of scarves, knowing how to organize and store them can be a bit challenging. In this tutorial, I am going to show you 5 simple and INEXPENSIVE ways to organize all your scarves.
My scarves used to just end up wadded together in a wicker basket. They got all tangled and wrinkled and it was hard to find what I was looking for. I have tried several ways to hang, fold and store my scarves, and these 5 techniques seemed to be the most practical and effective.
What I love about these DIY organizing projects is that you can get the supplies at Dollar Tree or you may already have these items already in your home.
1-Shower Curtain Ring Scarves Hanger
I really like this method because
- It takes up less space in your closet
- You don’t have to have wall space to hang it
- The materials and items to make it are inexpensive and accessable
- If you have a lot of scarves, you can hang multiple filled hangers next to each other
What you’ll need:
Instructions:
- Apply the shower curtain rings to the hanger (I find 12 per hanger is a good amount).
- Thread the end of the scarves into the rings and hang so the ring is in the middle of the scarf. **If your scarves are extra long, fold them in half first.
2-Plastic Cups Scarves Organizer
Now, this is as simple as you can get, and it is very cost-effective. Once again, you can pick up a bag of BIG plastic cups at the dollar store. The only drawback to this method is it does take drawer space. You could put the cups inside a short box as well.
What you’ll need:
- Large plastic cups
- Drawer or box to put them in
- Tape to adhere the cups to the drawer (masking tape or duct tape)

- Apply some rolled tape to the bottom of the cups. This will help keep the cups from shifting around and tipping over in the drawer.
- Arrange the cups inside a drawer or box. Fold the scarves lengthwise first and then roll them up and place them in the cups. (One scarf per cup)
3-Shower Ring Grid Scarves Holder
This is another inexpensive method and space-saving method. You can make multiples and hang them in your closet next to each other if you have a lot of scarves.
What you’ll need:
- 10 shower curtain rings
- 1 pants hanger
- Acrylic paint (optional)
- Sponge brush
- Painter’s tape
- E-6000 glue or a Gorilla glue that dries clear
- Super glue
- Wax paper
Instructions:
4-Towel Rod Scarves Holder
This is another simple method; however you will need wall space to hang it, and you can’t fit as many scarves on the rack as the others.
What you’ll need:
- Wooden towel bar
- White spray paint
- Level
- Pencil
- Electric drill/screwdriver
- Wall anchors

5-PVC Piping Scarves Organizer
This method is similar to the plastic cup method, but a little more durable and sturdy. It does take some more time and a little more money unless you have some PVC pipe kicking around. You will need access to a saw.
What you’ll need:
- PVC cut to the height
