Almost 3 years ago now on Twitter Miss Esme and the Laneway asked me if I had any ideas on how to store belts in a more organised way. At the time I didn’t own any belts but I do actually remember these things XD
So 3 years later here we are hahaha!
Living in an apartment with very limited storage space means having to find ways to display things as well as store them neatly. I collect scarves and now I have a decent collection of belts to my name as well so it was time to do something useful with them rather than hiding them in a drawer which could be used for better things.
The solution: commandeer a suit pants clothes hanger and arrange the belts and scarves in one easy to hang area!
The belts are looped through the top 2 tiers with the decorations pointing out. This means they can be easily removed and put back without disturbing the others on the rack. The long parts hang at the back so they are hidden.
The scarves have two rows as well but because there are more of them I hang the least used ones on top and most used on bottom. There’s another row below it to use when I collect more too. Let the scarf obsession continue! They too can be removed easily without disturbing the others.
Previous to this solution I’ve tried out many other ways to store them including making a hanger rack but none of them worked so generally the belts would just end up dumped on the end of my clothes rack.
… or more realistically on a pile on the floor 😉
This solution is much prettier but more importantly it’s practical too which is really what the Home Sweet Home project is all about! One more thing done, only the rest of the house to go haha!
It’s funny, making the little changes like this seems to inspire me a lot more than making the big changes. I’m sure that will change when I get to the really big stuff like the couches but these things keep me happy in the mean time!

Fun Twisted Pigtails Hairstyle Instructions.
Today I’ll show you how I do an interesting twist on the plain old pigtail…
Pun fully intended.
Start by putting your hair up into two pigtails above your ears.
Split into two even sections.
Very tightly twist the first section towards your face.
The tighter you twist, the tighter the end result will be.
When you reach the end, hold on to it so you can do the other.
Twist the other section towards your face too.
Both of them need to be twisted in the same direction.
Now wrap the two pieces around each other.
You should wrap them in the opposite direction to your twisting.
So away from your face.
Tie the end off and if you want to, puff out the top so the whole thing is more tapered.
Taadaa!
Repeat again on the other side.
Twist one section towards your face very tightly.
Hold on to it while you do the other one.
Again they need to be twisted in the same direction otherwise they won’t stay together in the end twist thing.
And wrap them together the other way.
You can kind of see how they want to twist together like this if you don’t hold them too tightly.
And then fluff out the tops.
You could add a flower or a bow or any cute accessory to top it off.
Or you could do a big bun on top of your head.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching!
Bye!
