Thanks to everyone who checked out our organized nursery closet earlier this week. Now I’m back with a quick tutorial on how I made custom clothing dividers to organize the different sizes of clothes.
I purchased the plastic closet rod dividers {affiliate link} at the Container Store for only $.99 each. They are also available on Amazon {affiliate link} in larger quantities for slightly less, depending on how many you need.
Creating this template was a bit tricky, so to save you some time and effort, you can download my closet rod divider template as a JPG file. Once downloaded, you can use Photoshop or your favorite editing program to change the color and add your own text and patterns or images. Just be sure to print the file at 100% {do not choose any “scale to fit” options} and the labels should fit perfectly on 3.5″ plastic closet rod dividers.
Once I had the labels designed, it was simply a matter of printing them onto the sticker paper, cutting them out, and sticking them onto the plastic dividers. Cutting them is a bit of a time-consuming process (especially because I labeled both sides of each divider), but using sharp, fine-tipped scissors (like my favorite, the Cutter Bee Precision Cut Scissors) makes it much easier to cut the inside of each circle.
After cutting out each label, I peeled off the backing and stuck the labels onto the plastic dividers. The sticker paper has a strong adhesive and is difficult to remove or re-position, so be careful to line the sticker up correctly before sticking it down. I recommend holding the sticker just above the plastic while aligning it, and then sticking the top center down first and smoothing it out around the edges moving toward the bottom – this helps to avoid wrinkles or bubbles. (Wow – please ignore my nail polish in these photos…I promise I repainted them the next day!)
