DIY: Beanie Organization

DIY: Beanie Organization

Hi there! I'm Nicole, the mama behind @bellissimi.bambini. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that my son, Giovanni, is known for his Noxx beanies!  You'll rarely find a photo of him without a Noxx beanie, snap back or swaddle blanket, I suppose to can say we are Noxx obsessed!

Gio has been rocking Noxx since he was about 3 weeks old and at 11 months old he has quite the collection.  Initially I began storing his beanies into a drawer in combination with his bibs and quickly the drawer became primarily his "beanie drawer".  This worked out great until I realized that instead of actually taking the time to sift through the drawer I would just grab something from the top which meant that he was wearing the same ones over and over again.  And while thats not a huge problem since we love ALL of our Noxx beanies, whats the point of having so many if he's not utilizing all of them?

I decided this called for a DIY project and quickly jumped on Pinterest to see what I could find.  Would you believe I could not find a single thing to do with organizing beanies? How could that even be possible?

After consulting with a few close friends I finally settled on using a curtain rod to display the beanies in Gio's room.  Why not show off his colorful collection?

Interested in showcasing your beanies the same way?  

Materials needed:
Leveler Tool
Drill Gun
Curtain Rod  

Curtain Rings 

Directions:

Pick the spot on the wall that works best for you.  If you don't have a lot of wall space you can consider hanging these on the back of a door or even inside your closet.  Have fun with it!  In the photo I have one beanie per curtain ring, but this is not even our full stash and in reality I have 2 beanies to 1 curtain ring.

I was torn between hanging our beanies by color or by size and then color.  As you can see I went with the size and color.  I figured this worked best so that I can pick a color based on the slouch that I am looking for.  About half of our beanies are size 3-6 months and the other half are size 6 months to 3 years so the slouch variance is pretty big.  The great thing though is that even at 11 months, his 3-6 month beanies still fit!

Do you have a creative way to share the way you organize/display your beanies?  I'm always looking for new ideas and would love to hear from you! Follow me on Instagram @bellissimi.bambini and let me know what you think!
