Here’s How To Organize Literally Everything
With Command Hooks
Hook it.
Hook it real good.
This is 37 clever ways hook can organize your
entire life
By Natalie Brown .
THE KITCHEN
1. Hooks have many functional uses in the
kitchen, like holding baking utensils.
2. Or, you know, regular cooking utensils.
They might clank a bit every time
you close the cabinet, though.
A neat way to store your pans
is with screw-in cup hooks.
For an overhead cabinet,
line them up on the underside of a shelf,
spacing them apart enough
to ensure they'll each be easy to access.
3. And, of course, hot pads.
If you hang them
on the wall or side of the fridge,
they can do double duty as decor.
Messy cabinet, pretty potholder.
4. They can also transform an old door
into an all-purpose kitchen storage unit.
Now with the magnetic knife addition
and some re- organizing,
I really, really love it.
5. A hook can hold a measuring cup
on the side of your cereal bin,
so you can portion it perfectly every morning.
6. Use two hooks to make foil and plastic
wrap easy
to reach and tear.
The pantry door was the best location
for my handy wrap and tin foil
Direction:
I found this package of plastic hooks at Walmart
on the isle with the bathroom storage accessories.
And it only cost a couple of bucks!
First, I took measurements and spaced the
hooks 10 5/8 inches apart from inside to inside.
The boxes fit on by sliding one end on first
and then slightly pulling the other hook
so the opposite end can be inserted.
The hooks have just the right flimsiness factor
to allow you to do this!
And there they are hanging, just waiting to
be used!
7. Add some shower curtain rings
and rods to the side of your fridge
for an easy-to-customize kid’s art gallery.
Even better: This keeps the art in nice, neat rows,
and it will never fall off because
the magnet isn’t magnet-y enough.
8. A solitary hook can make
for convenient back-of-the-high-chair bib storage
Then it’s easy to remove the hook
when you want to donate the high chair later.
9. They can also hang beautiful country-style
window vases.
You can gaze at them
in between your baby’s bites of puréed
carrot.
10. Mount a vertical herb garden next
to your kitchen window with a few small hooks.
Direction:
1. Drill hole a plastic container
2. Hang your command hook
{sturdy, but removable
and it won’t damage your cabinets or walls}
3. Fill your plastic container
with some dirt and plants
And hang it.
11. Station a hook next to your sink
to guard your rings while you do dishes.
Having the hook there can help you remember
to take them off.
IN THE BATHROOM.
12. Create more storage space by securing
a wire spice rack to the back
of your bathroom cabinets…
I used extra-strong Command hooks to hang
a small wire rack
For perfumes and nail polish.
No need to drill into or purchase over-the-door
hooks.
Make sure to get a spice rack
that won’t let your stuff fall out,
like this one.
13. Or hang a wire file box
on the side of your sink.
Or over your toilet, or next to your mirror,
or wherever works best in your bathroom.
14. Combine the organizational power of hooks
and caddies,
and everyone CAN have their own shower rack.
Just hang ‘em on their own hooks.
(Make sure to use water-resistant adhesive,
if you’re using adhesive hooks.)
15. Switch those shower racks for bath-toy
baskets
if and when your situation is more kid-focused.
Again, water-resistant hooks are key.
I nabbed a couple plastic-covered wire storage
baskets
on Amazon
and hooked them daintily
over the command hooks.
The wide slats on the baskets help
everything drain easily.
No trapped water!
AROUND THE HOUSE
16. Store the entire family’s sunglasses
on two hooks and a dowel
(you can make sure the dowel stays in place
with a tiny bit of sticky tack).
But no guarantees your teenager
won’t “borrow” your favorite pair every
time they head out.
Instruction:
1. After locating just the right spot
on the back of the cupboard door,
adjust the interior shelves up or down a bit
so that the sunglasses would not interfere
with the shelving.
2. Two more Command Hooks were put on, dowel rods
were cut to length and spray painted,
And tiny balls of sticky tack applied.
17. An upside-down hook can hold a wreath
in place.
Directions on how to make this work
at the prettydubs.com
18. And a small hook nestled on top of a doorframe
can hold banners and bunting.
I messed and fussed with inconspicuous ways
to hang the garlands
for a long time until I came up
with this ultra-easy solution…
When I don’t have a banner hanging
they aren’t visible
because the hooks are clear
and have a low profile
(There is also one in the center of
the door frame if I’m doing a drooping number)…
I know, so easy!
19. Pair a couple with a baseboard to hang
a big quilt.
I used Damage free hanging hooks
(Like Command brand,
found at all big box stores.
No affiliation,
just like them.)
From the front (and side),
you can't see the baseboard
or the hook!
Cool right
20. Hang curtains neatly by
painting your hooks
the same color
as your crown molding
with Jumbo Command Hooks from Amazon.
Tutorial on how to hang these curtains
(plus info on trimming plastic hooks
if they’re too tall for your space)
pasted under this video.
The only drawback to the process
was that using the Command hooks
with our curtain rod didn’t allow us
to use the finials
that came with the rod-they were much too
big to allow the rod to sit as close
to the wall as required by the hooks.
21. Clean up your entertainment center
with the help of zip ties and small hooks.
The ultimate cord-organizing combo.
1. Ease your entertainment center slowly
away from the wall.
Do it gently.
2. Then start unwrapping
and sorting through the cords.
3. Use zip ties to keep cords
for each device together
making one thick cord.
I placed my zip ties about every 6-8 inches.
Final step : Attach small command hooks
near the top of your entertainment center
to hang the newly zip tied cords to
so they cannot be seen once you push
the entertainment center back
against the wall.
Now I can sit on my couch and don’t have to worry
about Delilah grabbing or pulling them,
plus I can easily clean underneath!
It is a total win-win
for $5 and 30 minutes!
22. Or you can seek out hooks designed
specifically for holding cords.
Find a video link under this video
to get more details
related to this solution.
23. Improvise a paper towel holder
with two hooks and some spare wire.
Good if you don’t want to buy
a special paper towel rack
for the garage but happen
to have some extra materials laying around.
THE BEDROOM
24. Basic but beautiful (and useful).
Hang costume jewelry on a corkboard.
25. Or just along the sides of a shelf.
Or on your wall,
or the back of your closet door.
26. Hate the way the white plastic looks?
Spray-paint your hooks gold.
More inspiration.
including info on how to use washi tape for
a cool cube border.

27. Or coat them in some glittery Mod Podge.
1. Mix the glue and glitter together.
I used a ratio of 2:1 glue to glitter.
2. Paint the glue/glitter mixture
onto the 3M hooks.
Allow a couple minutes between coats of the mixture
for the hooks to dry some.
I did 5 coats to ensure the hooks
were completely covered with glitter.
Once done, wait at least an hour before hanging.
28. Painting plastic hooks can help
your decorations look more finished.
I mean, if you know they’re Command Hooks,
they’ll still look like Command Hooks.
But they won’t stand out quite as much.
29. “Hammered metallic” spray paint
can make them look more,
well, like metal.
You only need:
Four 3M sticky hooks cost $4
Rust-Oleum Hammered spray paint cost $7
And basic spray painting skill.
30. Have lots of time on your hands?
Decoupage your hooks.
31. Give yourself some extra shelving
in a small dorm room by hanging
a spice rack on your wall.
Spice racks
(like this one $9.99 and this one $13.79)
tend to be prettier
than bathroom shower caddies,
but those work too.
32. Use hooks to hang baskets on the wall.
The perfect spot for kids to turn
in their homework folders every day.
33. DIY a fun party game
for your next get-together.
It could also just be
a fun way to hang kids’ artwork.
34. Make your own affordable photo backdrop
for a wedding,
birthday party,
or random special occasion.
35. Hang a dowel between two hooks
for pretty washi tape storage.
This would also work
with spools of ribbon,
if you’re the type to build a gift-wrapping station.
36. Get the perfect macramé creation spot
with the same dowel-and-two-hooks trick.
(For those awesome people
that macramé wall hangings.)
And,
37. Position buckets on the side
of the kids’ craft table
(or your grown-up work desk).
•Sand down table, rinse with water and let dry
•Spray paint entire table holding can about
10 inches away.
May need two coats.
•Once table is dry, fasten hooks
on the side and add buckets.
Super simple and super cute!
