How to make a back to school Hanging organizer

Sharing is caring!

It’s Back to School time for some of us, and for some others, well it’s next month but that doesn’t mean we can relax.  No, we still need to get the kids rooms in order and to organize their things.  With this in mind, I have teamed up with my blogger friends and come up with some fun ideas to help you all get ready for back to school. Today I will show you how to make a back to school hanging organizer.

Το σχολικό έτος αρχίζει για κάποιους από μας τώρα, και για άλλους τον Σεπτέμβρη, αλλά αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι μπορούμε να χαλαρώσουμε.  Όχι, χρειάζεται να βάλουμε τάξη στα δωμάτια των   παιδιών. Με αυτή τη σκέψη, έχω συνεργαστεί με φίλες μπλογκερ να σας δείξουμε μερικές διασκεδαστικές ιδέες για να βοηθήσουν να ετοιμαστείτε  για το σχολείο.  Η συνεισφορά μου είναι πώς να φτιάξετε  έναν  κρεμαστό  διοργανωτή.

My husband had bought this home a while ago but we never really used it.  It is an Indor from Ikea.  It is a remote control pocket and is meant to hang over the arms of the sofa.  My sofa has no space for anything to hang over it. I figured I would repurpose it for my older daughter’s room. 

Ο σύζυγος είχε φέρει αυτή τη θήκη τηλεχειριστηρίου σπίτι, αλλά ποτέ δεν τη  χρησιμοποιήσαμε.  Σκέφτηκα να βρω μια άλλη χρήση για αυτό το πράγμα.

As I said this was to go in my older girl’s room. We spruced it up last year, painting it and making all sorts of changes  (you can see a tour here).    The idea was to match it to the general look of the bookcase, which is black and white.  Below you can see that I painted the magazine files. 

Θα το έβαζα στης κόρης  μου το δωμάτιο.  Το ειχαμε ανανεώσει πέρσι, (μπορείτε να δείτε μια περιήγηση εδώ).  Το σκεφτικό μου ήταν να ταιριάζει με τη γενική εμφάνιση της βιβλιοθήκης, που είναι μαυρόασπρη.  Παρακάτω μπορείτε να δείτε ότι έβαψα τις θήκες περιοδικών.

Magazine files, How to make a back to school hanging organizer, Back to School blog Hop www.theboondocksblog.com
The remote control pocket was an ugly beige color.  Since we were after a black and white look this would not do in the least.  What did I do?  I took some acrylic paint and literally slathered it on. 

​Η θήκη  τηλεχειριστηρίου ηταν ένα άσχημο μπεζ χρώμα.  Δεν ταίριαζε καθόλου  αφού  ήθελα ασπρόμαυρο. Το έβαψα με ακριλική μπογιά.

Then to echo the magazine files I painted black dots and stripes onto the whole thing like this. 

Για να μιμηθώ τις θήκες περιοδικών, το ζωγράφισα με ρίγες και πουά.

The next step was to attach a black ribbon onto the thing at various points. 

Το επόμενο βήμα ήταν να συνδέσω μια μαύρη κορδέλα πάνω στη θήκη σε διάφορα σημεία.

And lastly I finished it off with mini clothespins. 

Και τέλος έβαλα μίνι μανταλάκια.

I added some fun things that my daughter loves and I was done.

Eventually she can change them out and add her school program or a calendar.  That is why I love these mini clothespins. 

Αργότερα μπορεί να τα αλλάξει να βάλει το πρόγραμμα του σχολείου της, ή ένα ημερολόγιο. Γι αυτό μου αρέσουν αυτά τα μίνι μανταλάκια.

As you can see, she is a huge Marilyn Monroe fan. 

Όπως βλέπετε ειναι θαυμάστρια της Μέριλιν Μονρόε.

I have placed it on the side of her bookcase. Now you can see how it matches the magazine  files and everything is color coordinated… just the way she likes it. 

Το εχω κρεμάσει στο πλάι της βιβλιοθήκης.  Τώρα μπορείτε να δείτε πώς ταιριάζει με τα  υπολοιπα … ακριβώς όπως της αρέσει.

In hindsight, I also added a  cord on top and hung it on a nail so that it wouldn’t fall on my head.  There is actually a steel rod inside the top to help it keep its shape. Safety first. 

Εκ των υστέρων, έχω προσθέσει ένα κορδόνι από πάνω και το κρέμασα ώστε να μην πέσει στο κεφάλι μου.  Υπάρχει ένα σίδερο μέσα στο επάνω μέρος για να βοηθήσει να κρατήσει το σχήμα του.

You all know that nothing goes to waste in my house and I always find ways to repurpose even the most useless things. This is how to make a back to school hanging organizer from a remote control pocket and it looks pretty fine to me now.  And certainly it is perfect right there. An easy repurpose to help the kids, or even  young adults get ready for the coming school year.  

Actually now that I think about it, it would make a nice craft organizer too. What do  you think, should I steal it from her room?

What a great transformation, Mary! I'm sure it will be more useful in your daughter's room and painting it to match the rest of the decor is a wonderful idea. Was it a surprise for her, or did she know what you were doing?

Pili, we worked on this one together. I had to get the green light to go ahead and do it and I told her I would match it to the black and white bookcase. She is very picky about what I do in her room, and she won't let me paint half of the things that I want to.
