With kids, you know how quickly they grow and if you are not careful and organized they outgrow an outfit before you even have a chance to take the tags off.

When Little Lady was born we were in an old hose with tiny closets.  You can see how I organized her closet here.  I had room for her current size, a few bigger items toward the back of the hanging bar, and the next size of clothes in clear bins on the floor.  It worked really well, but I still missed outfits, out of sight out of mind.

This time around we have much bigger closets (this baby has a walk in closet!).  I plan on keeping a couple sizes of those cute outfits in plain sight.  I fold and store onesies, pants, and PJ’s;  everything else can go on hangers.  To keep this all organized I made a couple hanging dividers, the kind you might find at a department store.

I used chalkboard cardstock for this project, this is a great pack of chalkboard paper that will make 24 dividers!  This is very thick, like a heavy cover stock or chipboard.  It won’t bend or flop over when hanging.  Some chalkboard paper is just regular cardstock with the look of a chalkboard, it cannot be written on.

I used my Silhouette to cut the shape.  To do this measure your rod, mine is 1.5 inches.  Then measure the width around your rod.  I have about 3.5 inches around to clear the shelf above the rod.  I have provided a cut file below using dimensions that work for me and should work for most standard closets.

A few tips on cutting this paper.  It is very thick and does not stick well to the cutting mat.  I tried a number of different speed and blade settings and finally came up with a speed of 1, blade at 10, thickness of 33, and a double cut.  I also used some painter’s tape to help secure my paper to the mat.

The beauty of this chalkboard paper is I only need to cut 3 dividers.  As baby girl grows I can retire the smaller sizes, add bigger ones, and just erase and write new sizes.  I prefer to use a chalk marker on chalkboard surfaces.  I use it on my menu board every week, I am able to get more detailed and not have dust everywhere.  I use this Uchida of America Fine Point Chalk Marker from Amazon, and it wipes off with a damp cloth.
