Cable Strap Storage Solution It's more that just a cable strap, it's a great shape to hook into! All that's left is to identify the "hidden potential" space your can use this little helper!

I was sure to pre plan the size of the cable strap I would need for the hangers I wanted to use for my identified "hidden potential" storage space.

Here's my 'hidden potential' space!

...ooooh the find! The way my closet rod was mounted I have up to 6" inches of room behind my hanging clothes.

I covered the cable straps I used with duck tape...thought I had white duck tape laying around but this polka dot worked! I just like the idea of the clamps having a plastic like coating.

Just screw right through the "duck taped-up" holes. You should be mounting into a secure surface. In this case my upper shelf is mounted on wooden cleats which provided a good sturdy mounting board. If the space you're looking at does not have this feature in place, you can first mount a horizontal length of 1x2 at the correct height into your wall studs. Once your 'mounting board' is in place, you're ready to mount your cable straps onto that.

A great space for my scarf storage...when I move my clothes aside, they're all right in front of me. Formerly I had to try to swing the scarf hanger out to see what I had.

and purse hangers, I prefer the way they lay flat against the wall now. These purse hangers were purchased at Home Sense-a housewares store, from the organization department.

    If you still have room, you could also hang your jeans back there as well. Could I ask where you found those hangers that your jeans are on??

    Thank You. Could we also install these on the back of the closet door (if it is not a slider) to hold myriad things......( a strip of material to hold pierced earrings....one to hold a hanger of necklaces/bracelets...or with everyday scarves or belts...a laundry bag...etc) I like it.
