We presently live in an apartment which is significantly larger than our CA apartment, but while we have more cabinet storage, we have diminished drawer storage which makes storing certain things a challenge - mainly our ovenmits and pot holders. Since we have 2 sets and only 1 semi- convenient place to store them we've been storing both sets in a small drawer that we either have to fight to get it open because it's a bit crammed or we end up having to go into the cabinet beneath it to find the "missing" pot holder or oven mitt. Then I had a stroke of brilliance and fixed the problem in like 30 seconds. And all I needed was velcro, ribbon that matches our kitchen and a pair of scissors (All of which I had from other projects).
All you have to do is cut the ribbon to the proper length to go through the loop on the pot holder/oven mits and comfortably around the handle on your over.
Cut a piece of velcro to fit the width of the ribbon, attach to the underside of the ribbon on one end and the decorative (or other side if you're using plain ribbon) side of the ribbon.
Thread through the loop on the oven mitt and around the handle and attach.
I've seen similar ideas on Pinterest, but they all involve a sewing machine (which I do not have), fabric and usually fancy embellishments. This is just simpler
.
It may not be the chic-est or cutest solution, but it works! (Now to see what Tony thinks when he sees it tonight, tehe!)
