Why didn’t I think of it before?!
Couldn’t help exclaiming that when I found another use for my little girl’s teeny hair bands! These small rubber bands keep more than my li’l girl’s hair in place. They also keep socks together!
If you have preschoolers like I do, I’m sure you could totally relate to being frustrated by how the sock drawer always ends up in disarray just right after you’ve organized it. Some tie socks in a knot but I don’t like doing this as it deforms the socks. Some suggest folding the socks on top of the other and rolling it into a ball or tucking the toe part inside the opening of one sock – which is what I used to do. Unfortunately, children have a way of unrolling ALL the socks in the drawer after getting just ONE pair of socks. I guess that’s one of the magic tricks that kids learn naturally. 😛
Fortunately, I had a Eureka moment(or maybe I’ve read about this somewhere a long long time ago and just remembered now) while braiding my lil girl’s hair. I use her hair bands to keep their socks from being unrolled. Now I’ll never lose socks in the drawer again! It’s also very inexpensive and require no complicated instruction manual. 😀 I bought our pack for only 29.75 pesos from SM Department Store (But I’m sure they’re available in other department stores as well). There are hundreds of bands in the pack so even if you lose some of the bands, it’ll last for a year or so of sock organizing. 🙂
Do you have a trick of your own to keep things organized at home? We’d love to hear them! No, we BEG to hear them! Please do share your household tips and tricks in the comment section below. We’d love you for doing so! 🙂
nice idea of keeping socks organized 🙂 i just fold pair of socks together, i will also do this trick of yours, not only it will keep the pairs together but it will keep the socks drawer neat 🙂
that’s amazing! i used to form my son’s socks into balls but now I know the better way to organize..thanks to you:)
That’s a fun and colorful way of keeping the socks drawer neat. Why didn’t I think of that as well when I had the same problem? I’m glad that my daughter now is big enough to keep her things organized.
bakit nga ba hindi ko rin to naisip….last sunday lang nalate kami sa church kakahanap ng partner ng socks ng mga boys. Thanks sa idea. 🙂
Really cool socks organization idea. I’ll apply this to my daughter’s. 😉
NOw I know what to do with those little rubber bands that my kids have, they are everywhere.
