Missing socks are soooo annoying!
Especially my daughter's.
Somehow we're always losing them.
I swear the dryer eats them.
I chuckle as I think of Jerry Seinfeld and his stand up on socks (YouTube it if you never seen it).
Anyway saw this cute idea and shamelessly copied it (don't remember where I first saw it, I think when I Googled Image Search "Laundry Organization").
I also got to up-cylce this board I got from the DI for a quarter.
The DI is a great place to get cheap wood.
Spray painted it then inked the edges giving it a distressed look.
Added vinyl and hot glued clothes pins.
And then you're done!
However, I should of made a bigger one.
I have way more lost socks then this would hold.
But it looks cute in my non-cute unfinished laundry room! Sigh... One day I'll transform it. For now enjoy!

Cute project. The good news is that it is now popular to wear mismatched socks. You can even buy them that way.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo cute! But you are right...it would need to be MUCH larger for most homes. A 2by4 would do it:)
ReplyDeleteGreat solution. I would need more clips =)

Fun idea! Totally useful too!
ReplyDeleteI plan to copy this idea. What a great idea, and I need it. Too many little kid socks to keep track of at our house too. Thanks!
ReplyDeletep.s. I'm a mormon too :)
what a beautiful idea!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, I just need a HUGE one:/
ReplyDeleteJust discovered it through Pinterest! Absolute wonderful idea, obviously need a whole additionnal clip pack but woulnd't be that cute. Anyway, I'm a total organization disaster and can't wait to go throughout your blog for more great ideas.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
I need this for my laundry room! but im going to need lots of clips! I always place a lonely sock donw and then i loose it forever. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI miss living near DI....
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea, I might have to shamelessly copy it as well!
Such a great idea, thank you so much for sharing... 6 months until I have my own house to use little things like this to create a homey atmosphere.. :)
ReplyDeleteHow did you do the lettering? I'll be making this!
ReplyDeleteI used vinyl letting cut from a Cricut cutter.
DeleteWhat color spray paint did you use? Also how did you put the ink on? I have all the supplies..just need the paint color.
ReplyDeleteI believe I used Krylon Spray Paint Tan.
DeleteJust a thought. You can hang a lingerie bag on a hook next to your laundry basket and throw her socks in there. Then just zip it up and throw in the wash. No more lost socks!

ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that this image is being used in someones etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/listing/109295922/lost-socks-laundry-room-sign
ReplyDeleteMine would have to span my whole house with all the lost socks I have. I think my dryer or my washer has it in for me. One of them eat our socks! It is a very cute idea though.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I think I want to add a hook instead of clothes pins though and maybe a small basket (like from 31) to hold all the mismatched socks in.
