Shoe-tastrophy

[Magot]

When Rosie came home from Uni her growing shoe collection came too...

Fortunately I have this

and this

and so was able to come up with this


And so they now look like this..


Ace Mum me! The shoes are so heavy though they are bending the wire on the coat hanger...

Take 3 wire hangers, put them together, tape them, then crochet around them to hold them together. Use duct tape and really wrap tape around them all around. Maybe 2 of the type of hanger you are showing in pic. It helps to make them stronger.

Thanks Reta- I have put two hangers in it now and it seems fine - the duct tape is a good idea I hadn't thought of, thanks.

I had a coat hanger (rather than just wire ones) and it was unbending the hook.

You are sewing up a storm!!
I made a hand bag thing like that but get lazy and just throw them on the shelves.

Summer's over - back to work tomorrow and less sewing time..

My DD came home from her university in May with over 60 pairs of shoes. I bought her a large rubbermaid tub to put them in. I know that she has over 100 pair at last count. She bought 3 new pairs of shoes over the summer plus several pairs of flipflops. The child has a shoe collection that would rival Imelda Marcos I think. Me, I have less than 10 pair including my boots.

Very nice Jan. Would make a nice organizer for toys in a kids room too. Or a nursery for baby things.

I like that hanging one.. I just have the plastic ones that sit on the floor in my closet that holds a dozen pairs of shoes.. The rest of mine are in boxes stacked on the floor..
