If you have the space in an entryway or mud room, just hang a piece of rope/clothesline/heavy string from one wall to the other and use clothespins to attach pairs of mittens/gloves. The gloves/mittens are easy to access and can dry, if they need to.

We also use this idea but with 6 kids we have A TON of SOAKING WET mittens. I have to lay the all over our furnace vents or throw them in the dryer before putting them away or they smell so musty. Does anyone have an inexpensive idea for mitten storage that would help them air out better? Squishing them into a pocket just doesn’t work when you truely play out in the wet snow for hours! =-)

I just blogged about organizing my front closet and did the same thing! http://flyinannie.blogspot.com/2008/12/saturday-flight-plan.html

I love this idea…we did if for our nursery with my first sweet girl. Since you get all kinds of toys, chew toys, body washes, etc, etc, I put them all in the shoe holder. LOVED IT! It’s a great idea. =) Thanks for sharing! God bless!

Great idea! I use clear plastic tubs I purchased at Fred Meyer. They stack neatly (2 sets, 3 high) on the shelf in our entry closet. Each one is labeled & holds different winter gear: gloves, hats, scarves, snow pants, etc. They’re light & easy to pull on/off the shelf.

That’s a great idea!

We actually have a sweater hanging system in our coat closet so we just stick mitttens, gloves, scarves, etc in it. But, I really like this idea better since you can actually see all of it!

I use this same thing. Here in MN we have plenty of mittens and hats. During the hot summers we store sunscreen, sunglasses and flip flops in the pockets. My 11 yo daughter also has a shoe organizer on the back of her bedroom door for hair stuff, little stuffed animals, slippers, bangle bracelets, nail polish…that kind of stuff. These work GREAT!

Yeah for Toni! I saw her post and wanted to RUN to the nearest store to grab one of these. I have “mountain” of winter gear spilling out of a basket by the front door. Very inefficient! This is the answer and I can’t wait to get it up and running!
