Scarf Ladder {this needs to be buried in scarves}
On a quest to get organized this year…
since I never toss anything and still have everything I’ve ever owned…
I made a scarf ladder.
Plus I used up crooked wood that…I couldn’t toss!
I made a spindle ladder a few weeks ago with the purpose of holding scarves.
But it turned out toooo cute! Even if I say so myself. 🙂
Click here to see the spindle ladder. It’s still leaning in the kitchen. It’s going to be fun to decorate for seasons and holidays.
So, I needed a not so cute ladder!
I started off pulling out of the little workshop a couple of 1 by 2 by 8 feet long crooked wood. Plus round spindles from old chairs and a piece of leftover dowel. The 1 by 2 were left 8 feet long! Yep, the ladder is 8 feet tall. We have high ceilings in our closet.
I checked…after making the ladder…whew!
I made this ladder the same as that cute spindle ladder except I used screws instead of nails in this one.
If you make one use nails!!!
Because as the drill is screwing into the round spindles and dowels…they spin too! :/
This ladder is not as cute…
But perfect to bury it in scarves.
As you can see, I’m a scarf gal. Some of them I’ve had since the late 70’s! The best thing about scarves…
they fit no matter your weight gain or loss. 🙂
I really don’t toss things!!!!
What items do you have trouble tossing??

Too cute! I’m a scarf horse too! This is a great solution. Thank you!
omg this is way cute my daughter has way too many scarves this would be perfect, i an getting a pile of wood slowly but surly when spring comes i will be in the carport working away finally xx
Chris, this is an easy project. If we lived closer, I’d lend a hand! Jeanette
What a fun idea! My scarves are on an organizer in the closet but I still find it to be hard to look at them. Your idea is much cuter.
Stacey, thank you! I was surprised that I could arrange them and still see at least a part of each one. I folded them long and skinny, then folded them over the round spindles. Many I’d forgot I had. They’d been stuffed in a dresser drawer for years. Notice I didn’t iron them for their photo op!! Jeanette
Haha- laughing at the fact the first one was too cute to keep in the closet (it is!!)! I have scarves that were my grandmothers! My mother and I travel together and it has become a joke that we buy scarves everywhere we go! I am also a wood scrap hoarder- have to hide them from hubby so he doesn’t put them on the burn pile!
Laura, I love vintage scarves! What a great idea for souvenirs! A few were bought when traveling and I’m always taken back to vacation then I wear them. I’m sure once your hubby sees the incredible DIY projects you make from the scrap wood he’ll stop burning them!!! 😀 Jeanette
