Cramped Closet? Fix It Instantly With This Free Hack

Colorful cardigans in red, yellow, and turquoise hang neatly on hangers using a soda tab to layer the hangers. A great tip for saving closet space!

There isn’t much you can do about the size of your closet without committing to a major renovation, but there are plenty of simple ways to make the most of your closet space. The brilliant soda tab closet hack I’m sharing with you today is one of them, and the best thing about this simple organizing solution may be the price tag — it’s free!

How To Use Soda Tabs To Maximize Your Closet Space

The tip is simple: remove the tab from a canned drink, slip it over the hook of a hanger, and then hook a second hanger on the other end of the tab. Maximize your space even further by adding another drink tab and hanger (as shown above).

Not only is this solution incredibly simple, but it’s also effective! Canned drink tabs are sturdy enough to hold a considerable amount of weight, and using them to daisy-chain hangers together helps take advantage of the vertical space in your closet. With just two soda tabs, you can hang three items in your closet without using more horizontal space than a single hanger requires.

Bonus Tip: Use Soda Tabs To Plan Outfits

Another great application for this hack is using it to plan outfits. Whenever I have to wake up early, I choose my outfit the night before and use soda tabs to hang the various pieces of my outfit in one place. It saves me so much time and stress while I’m getting ready the next morning. If you have school-age kids, try this tip to streamline your mornings!

What’s your best tip for making the most of a small closet?
