Our love of handbags has lead to somewhat of a mess around our place. With all kinds of bag styles and sizes, we needed a solution to care for our purses better. After searching online for a pre-packaged solution, we decided to make our own. We wanted something fun and unique that would show our personal fashion. We also figured we weren’t the only ones with this problem so we came up with a solution and documented our journey so you can create your own!
What you’ll need:
1. a hanger
2. a dowel
3. interfacing
4. three scarves (we used two of this one, and this one from Scarves.net)
5. fabric glue
6. iron
7. pins
8. measuring tape
9. fabric scissors
Start by folding the main middle scarf in half and cutting a small hole in the top of the scarf for the top of the hanger to go through.
Now lay the scarf out flat on a table and get your interfacing ready. We used interfacing to help give the scarf some extra support. Place the interfacing on one half of the scarf and follow the instructions to iron it onto the scarf. 
Once your interfacing is attached to one side, grab your hanger and the dowel! Push the top of hanger through the small hole you cut earlier, then place the dowel under the hanger. Our dowel was a little longer than the scarf so we just used a small saw to make it the right length. Use your fabric glue to attach each side of the centerpiece and to keep your dowel and hanger in place. Then fold the scarf in half to create the centerpiece for your handbag organizer. 
We suggest that you leave this overnight to dry before attaching the side pockets. To attach the side pockets grab the second scarf of your choice and lay it out flat on the centerpiece. Use your pins to pin down the scarf in each section that will be glued to form pockets. We folded the scarf into thirds by laying the scarf down flat on the centerpiece, making sure its centered. Then we grabbed the long ends of the scarf and fold them to meet in the middle. Then we pinned them down to test how we liked the size of the pockets. If you like the size, you will glue your ends. We used our fabric glue to attach each end of the scarf and create the pockets. 
We suggest letting this dry overnight before repeating these steps for the other side. Your finished product should look similar to this->
We attached a bow to the hanger to give it a feminine touch and a pop of color. We love how this turned out and think it’s a great and functional way to store our handbags, right in our closet! It’s so easy to customize the pockets to be different sizes, depending on your purse collection.
