Unusual Ways to Use a Shoe Organizer

A shoe organizer is such a good choice for keeping shoes neat and orderly, sure, but did you know that it also works to organize in other rooms of the house - and even outdoors? There are many unusual but helpful ways that you can implement a shoe organizer. You know the type - it has clear pockets and theyre all on a single backing. Such an organizer can often be found at a dollar-theme store and that makes it an even better choice for organizing the bathroom, a childs room, or even the kitchen.

When you hang a shoe organizer on the side of the refrigerator, or elsewhere in the kitchen, youll find it a handy thing to have around. Each pocket can hold a number of large and/or small items, found in the kitchen. Use the organizer to hold implements, bundled silverware, flavoring packets, spices, scissors and twine, tape and a marker, measuring cups and spoons, and much more.

Hang a shoe organizer in a childs room and his or her favorite toys can be on display, and easy to get to. Each pocket can hold a small stuffed animal, a doll, a toy car, dice or cards, a small book, and other things. Dont forget a second shoe organizer to actually hold the childs shoes! If you already have a shoe organizer, hang it up in the nursery, and it will help you in assorted ways. The pockets can hold cotton swabs, small packs of wipes, socks, booties, oils and lotions, hair bows, rattles, and more. But if you use it as a memory keeper, you can begin to drop things that the baby no longer uses, in the pockets, and roll the organizer up when the pockets are full. Later, when the baby is much older, give him or her the organizer, which is full of little, cherished things. Its fun to use a shoe organizer, outside, in a different manner than it is usually used. The organizer makes a unique but small garden on a deck, patio, or even on a fence. Poke a few holes in the bottom of each plastic pocket, for drainage. Fill the pockets with dirt and plant tomatoes, flowers, or other plants. The best shoe organizer for using as a garden is one with a built-in hanger, so you can simply hang up the garden. Water the top row well, and it will drain into the other rows of pockets. Just because you no longer use that shoe organizer doesnt mean that it doesnt have any use. Put it in the kitchen, hang it in the laundry room, or display it in a childs room. It still has many more years of service that it can offer.
