Color Coded Couture Closet

I love to wear dresses to events, don't you? So, if you are like me (a girly girl), then you really like dresses too and if you really like dresses then you have a lot of them! Luckily I figured out a really inexpensive way to organize all of those dresses so that you can find them fast when you need to be at an event. Today we are going to make double-sided color coded couture dividers. Couture refers to "fashion" in French  (couture may also refer to sewing, sewn clothing, or culture).

All you need is a pair of scissors, 2 matching sets of Valspar paint chips from Lowe's (the ones with the hole in the middle), clear packing tape (optional), hangers, Elmer's Glue stick and  your dresses.

 First, you need to select the colors you would like represented in your closet. Cut the paint chip if necessary. I chose these because they already have a hole cut in the middle.

After you cut the paint ship turn them over and paste glue on each side, press together firmly.  You can also place them inside a heavy book to make sure they are sealed together.

You can reinforce your paint chip with tape or laminate them, but because the paint chip is made out of thick paper and it is double-sided, I skipped this step. Place the paint chip through the hanger.

Line up your hangers in the color-coding system you desire. I chose a rainbow scheme. Red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, grey, black, white, and brown.

 Because these dividers are double-sided, you can see the color from the left and the right. Make sure all of your hangers are facing the same way and the color dividers are on the same side of the hanger.

Place your clothes behind the coordinating color. Now you will find your party dresses in no time!

Happy Planning!
