When it comes to running a house of 3 kids, I have found it is so much easier when things are organised. When things are organised I feel less stressed, and the house runs better. I try to add little bits to the house that makes it more organised, so I know where things go. I’m attempting to pass this onto the kids, although girls are easier to organised than boys (adult versions too!)
When we designed the twins bedroom, I wanted to add a bit more organisation to their room. I added a ‘What To Wear Today Hook’ to their room. One for each of them, so this is where they can hang their school uniform at the end of the school day. I’m one of those Mums who doesn’t put them in a fresh uniform each day!! #shockhorror
So instead of it going back in the wardrobe and getting mixed up with clean uniform, or left on the floor, it can hang nicely on their what to wear today hooks. All ready for the next day.
They’re really easy to make, so I thought I would show you how we made them.
What You Need
- IKEA FISKBO 10x15cm – 65p
- *Acrylic Crystal Drawer Knobs price varies
- Wallpaper or scrapbook paper offcuts
- Screws and screw covers
Instructions
You can use wallpaper samples, scraps of patterned paper, wrapping paper, basically anything you like to print on.
I took a piece of A4 paper and glued it onto my patterned paper, then cut around. Not only did it give the patterned paper a bit a strength to go through the printer, it made sure I got the right size to print on.
I have put together some print outs for you. Mine was personalised but I have twins so they needed to know which one is theirs. So feel free to click through the links below to access an easy PDF print out, in size 10 x 15cm and the colours below.
Free Print Outs
Then use the glass/plastic of the frame to cut out enough of your patterned paper to fill the frame.
Next up measure the middle of the two edges, and the bottom side. This is to put your hook on, and the screws to attach them to the wall.
Next up drill your holes. You don’t have to attach it to the wall this way if you don’t want to, but we felt it was more secure as I am sure the kids will be quite heavy handed with it when hooking on their clothes!
Attach your hook, and then start attaching to the wall.
We covered the screw heads with little plastic screw head covers to tidy it up.
Then that’s it, ready to hang the items on! I always use the IKEA BAGIS kids coat hangers, 80p for a pack of 8!

These look like such a great idea – I’ll have to remember it for when my boys are a bit bigger 🙂 #BloggersHomes

From one Steph to another… what a brilliant idea! 🙂 My daughter has that gorgeous Monsoon dress too x

They are so pretty aren’t they, they are my favorite dresses they have
What a great idea! So much better than piles of clothing on the floor or back of the chair or whatever. x
Yeah normally wherever isn’t it!!
Oh my goodness these are great. Defo gonna make these. This seems easier than it looks which is great for me as I’m rubbish at crafting lol x
Such a simple idea, but works a treat. Thanks!
Oh wow I love this idea. And so simple.
Thanks, super easy and cheap to do!
What a fantastic idea and a great way of showing the kids what they need to wear today. Those dresses are so princessy I love them xx
I LOVE their dresses, I got them for my birthday party and they still fit in them 2years later! Which I am SO pleased about, I will be sad when they grow out of them.
Oh my goodness I LOVE this!! What a fantastic idea – I need to find some space in my girls’ room to make them some. x
Oh do! It is so easy for them to hang stuff up on, no more nagging because their uniform is on the floor!
What a lovely idea. You are super organised. Being organised does help.
That’s what having twins does too you!!
Oh what a fantastic idea! I need these for my teens too! They are worse than Pickle! Kaz x
I made one for my 12yr old too!! It works…most of the time!!
Oh, such a nice idea! I think I need to make one for me! Hahaha, so cute. I’m sure it will ease my burden of always thinking what to wear every morning.
I know! I think I make one for myself….and even my Husband!!
so cute! Such a fab idea for getting kids to get themselves ready – my son is terrible at it!
It usually ends up on the floor doesn’t it!!
Such a great idea! Better than my current ‘pile’ of clothes that gets knocked over and faffed about with! So cheap too!
Super cheap, and I think I might be making one for me too!
Such a lovely feature to add to their rooms. If I had enough room in Rosalie’s I’d add one too xx
Yes you do need just that little bit of space, where we put ours was the only spare space in the room!!
What a fab idea, I lay them on the radiator at the moment but love this idea xxx
It’s funny how we come up with different ways to doing it, then it becomes a routine!
Loving this! And really cheap to make too. Pinning this one 🙂 x
Fab, thank you!
This is such a good idea. Might have to steal this one!
Steal away!
What a wonderful idea – I lay the clothes on the floor at the moment but this is a better idea
It’s good getting them out ready for the next day
Thank you for this great idea. Very easy to make and practical solution. For my boys, I will use a “car” background with your blue writing !
That will be cool! Glad you liked the idea
That is such a clever idea. I totally agree that being organised is the only way to survive three children x
Thank you, I get so stressy when I am not organised!!
What a great idea Steph! My daughter loves all things crafty so I’d happily make this with her – it might even make her more organised – who knows?!
It’s worth a go isn’t it!!
So cute! And what a great way to save time in the morning! So easy to make too!
Super easy to make!
Such a clever idea, great way to stop arguments and time wasting in the mornings 🙂
Oh yes it does indeed!
