Hang It Up

When the aim is to keep a household organized, there's a lot of wisdom in the saying "A place for everything, and everything in its place." Here, you'll find clever ideas for storing a variety of belongings, such as toys, garments, pet leashes, and garden tools. You can download our templates of printable patterns for all the craft foam shapes shown here and on the next two pages.

SPECIALTY HOOKS

1. King of the Wardrobe
Attached to the back of your child's closet door, this friendly feline is perfect for hanging up a bathrobe and pajamas or other items of clothing. Just cut out craft foam pieces for the lion's head, mane, and eyes (the pupils are drawn on with permanent marker) and glue them together. Position a double wardrobe hook for the lion's mouth and top it with a foam nose before screwing the whole assembly to the door.

2. Umbrella Handle
A craft foam umbrella shape decorated with self-adhesive craft foam dots and a J hook are all you need to make this handy holder.

3. Leash Keeper
For this hook, simply cut out a black craft foam silhouette of a sitting cat and attach a J hook for a tail.
