RIP hairtoy organizer!

**lapushka** · February 2nd, 2022, 03:53 AM

I had this pocket thing out of mesh, not unlike a shoe organizer, but cloth and smaller in size, on the backs of my bathroom door cabinets (it was that small). It fit hair accessories, the pockets just wide enough for a headband and a couple combs and clips. It had 6 "pockets", 4 bigger ones 2 very small ones. It has died. Holes in it, the lot. I hang onto these things for dear life, but... alas. Last night, it caved and totally ripped.

I had one other that collected my little stocking type footsies for my shoes. So I took those out, put them in my sock drawer again (after washing them, man the dust I'm ashamed to say), and took that one for my accessories.

But I'm down one of these. They are really handy, but you can't get them anywhere in this size (very small).

Anyone else ever have any organizers cave on them?

ETA/ Ugh, RIP my title.

Oh man, nothing but a good "hairtopy" organizer to go bust. It's almost hairtrophy. Yeah, I don't know what I was going for there. Hahaha!

You could buy a regular shoe organizer and customize the pockets by cutting a u shape in each pocket do it would not be so deep.
I went to Amazon to try to find one for an example. There were so many door hanging organizers. Do you have AMAZON in Europe?

Where I am? Nope. I would have to shop amazon Netherlands or Germany or France but not willing to do that.

I'll find something, the shoe organizer is a bit big to hang over a small bathroom cabinet.

I need something about 1/3 to half the size, that small. Yeah, it was a true find when I got those. I don't even remember where I got them from.

Do you have a Japanese or Korean grocery/general/beauty store near you? Daiso would be exactly the type of place to find what you need.

Nope. I live in Belgium, Europe. No such stores (due to me not living in a major city probably also). Unless the stores around me advertise such a thing, it is not in their regular assortment (and I know what all they carry really well). So, I guess it's one of those things that I once stumbled on, that I'm gonna have to stumble on once again.

Maybe a nice sewing project for your mom?
(If she likes sewing that is

)

After my doorhanging organizer broke, I store my hairtoys in wooden boxes now in my bedroom.

And in a plastic Action little 3-drawer thingie. (hairtoy of the week, earrings, elastics, pins)
This one https://www.action.com/nl-nl/p/heidrun-ladekast/
And 1 drawer in the bathroom in which I chuck things I need to grab fast.
Brushes and combs and such.

Those drawer cabinets are fantastic, IMO! eresh, such a good idea. Unfortunately we don't have fabric in the house, but if we find some, or she is cleaning out clothes once again (needs to happen once more at some point)... then we can probably make a project out of it.

Thanks for the idea!

You may get some viable results by searching "over the cabinet pocket organizer" or "shower pocket organizer". Possibly even try searching locker organizers too.

What are the dimensions you have to work with?

I'll go measure!

My cabinet is (hanging cabinet) is 58 long by 33 cm wide. And the organizer -hook (so the fabric itself) is 65 x 26 cm; so it hangs a bit down from my cabinet, but that's OK. It's got the room for it.

A quick search of "pocket shower organizer" pulls up this:

https://www.amazon.com/Organizer-Han...dp/B094Y5L6ZT/

It is a 60x33cm mesh organizer.

And this is approx 50x31cm:

https://www.amazon.com/MISSLO-Organi...dp/B07FNGLTFH/

So it seems searching for a pocket shower organizer rather than shoe organizer will net you better results. You may even try travel jewelry pocket organizer(55x26CM) if you want something with more/smaller pockets.

Hope this will help you a little bit.
