This has got to be one of the things I hated most about my closet.  T-shirts! I don't think they are worthy of my hanging space but at the same time I can't stand to wear a wrinkled shirt.  I have tried it all.  Nothing seems to work as good as the way I have been storing them recently.  So before I can go into the next step I need to show you how to make my little shirt cards.

First of all you will need these things...

Poster boards!  Lots and lots of poster boards.  (I started out with white because they are much cheaper but ended up getting black because it looks sexy)
Tape (Started out using duck tape because it is very durable but ended up using clear because once again it is sexy)
Scissors (Using a straight edge makes it a lot easier)
Ruler

Four simple items that most people already have on hand.  

Ok, first I cleared a space on my dining room table and then measured out the pieces of poster board.  I found that 5.5 inches by 7 inches is the perfect size.
   You will need 3 card cutouts for each of your shirts.  After cutting them out I found the best way to put them together was to simply lay 3 cards on the table and then use my ruler to make a one inch space between each card.  As you can see in the picture below I line the 7 inch long side up beside each other.  Then simple take a piece of tape around 6 inches long and tape them together!


  After I have all three cards taped together I flip it over and do the same on the other side.  Then I take a long piece of tape and cover each side and then the ends.  
 
Voila! 
You have a perfect little card to fold inside each shirt.  It holds them perfectly together.  Here are the pictures of the one I made with black poster board and clear tape.  Looks really nice.






I fold all t-shits, tanks, scarves, and jerseys like this and color coordinate them in bins.  It has never been easier to find things.  I find myself actually wearing all of my clothes! 

 

 Perfection!
