Braxton Hicks have been going non-stop now and so have my nesting instincts! I’m feeling like I won’t get everything done before she comes. As part of my “nesting instinct,” and now that I will have an 18-month old and a baby sharing the same closet, I decided it’s time I finally buckle down and make some DIY closet dividers for the nursery. Rotation of clothes has been one of my least favorite things, but hopefully these dividers will help me keep track of everything better. If you are interested in dividers beyond 24 months, comment below. I’d be happy to make them if there is interest.
these diy closet dividers are so easy to make
I highly recommend laminating them for durability, but if you don’t have a laminator you can get some shower curtain hooks from the dollar store and glue them onto the back so that the dividers just snap right onto the rod! I had planned on doing that as well, but the lamination seemed sturdy enough. If you don’t have a laminator, I would highly recommend getting one, especially if you are a mom! I use mine ALL THE TIME. I got the Apache off Amazon for $20, and I got that one specifically for the wider format so that I can laminate file folder games. However, I did notice that the Apache did a crappy job laminating anything thicker than 5 mil, so if you are doing something involving thicker pouches and you don’t care about the wider format, then I’ve hear that Scotch is a good one.
If you’d like to print a copy for yourself, you can choose from the pink ones that I did above, or I also did a multi-colored version that is more gender-neutral.

Now that I have that over with, does anyone have some good tips on rotating your kid’s clothes and keeping up with all the “too big/too little” clothes?

Sometimes you see an idea and think “that’s so simple why has no one done it before”. Brilliant idea! I would love to see them in further ages (my girls are 4 & 6) but the older one wears up to age 8. Please make them for some more ages. X
Alright ladies, I’m on it! I’ll get some more sizes posted 🙂
I really like this!! We did a rough version of these for our garage sale and have a post on it

What do you think about posting more ages and then we can cross market. We’ll add you to our post and you add us here? We also have a link up party on Thursdays at allthingswithpurpose.com and we’d love to see this there!!
Julia, sounds good. I’ll let you know when I have them done and we can recommend each others posts, great idea
Ok, we added your link to the post! Thanks for the link love!! 🙂 Garage Sale Organizing Tips
I really like this idea and am wondering if I can make something similar for my middle school children, to promote actually hanging clothes back up in the closet and keeping the closet organized: Shirts, jackets, skirts, dresses, etc.
Such a good idea. I might need these for myself (without the sizes of course)! I’d love if you’d like up to The DIY’ers: http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-diyers-and-some-favorites.html
What a great idea to keep your closet organized! Love it.
Hello could you make the pink ones in sizes 0000, 000, 00, 0, 1, 2 for me? They are so cute and i would love to use them.
Sure Cristina! If you’ll send me an email under “contact” on the main page, then I will have a reminder and I’ll just send them straight over to you via email. Thanks for stopping by!
THANK YOU for this! I was just about to purchase some 🙂
You are so welcome Danielle!
What a great idea! Do you have sizes 2T through 7 in the Multi-Colored? It only came up pink when I clicked on the link.
Karen! Thank you for letting me know! I will fix the problem in a little bit and email them to you!
Thank you so much! I just came across your blog today and love it!
Hi Karen,
I was wondering what font you used on these. I’m currently organizing my daughters closet. And would like to make labels for all there things using same font if not similar. Thank you in advance and these are really great, love the polkadots.
did you print them on card stock or paoper?
It depends on the thickness of lamination you use. I used paper because it was like a 7mm lamination
