Top it off

So, on my newly designated accessory wall, I have run into the problem of hats. I have a growing collection felt cloches, which are really impossible to store -- well, no longer!

The best part? All it took was some clothespins, ribbon, and some nails (or command hooks would work splendidly -- however, they refuse to stick to my paint job).

Take your ribbon (I used a simple white one-inch satin) and tie it around the hooks (or around a clothespin -- enough so it won't slip). 

Then, adjust ribbon length until you get the length and drape you want (remember to calculate for the weight of your hats). Then apply the hooks, or put one BROAD-HEADED nail through the back tine of the clothespin (the pins will probably crack some, so the broad head secures it -- since this won't hold a lot of weight, just making sure the pin is held snug should do).

And voila!

For a more colorful version, you could paint the clothespins, or use binder clips to get a more utilitarian effect.

Gold star for all those times when its just too easy :)
