I’m a mom – my brilliant hack makes organizing kids’ school clothes so much easier & uses an item you already have
A PARENTING genius shared her free and easy method for keeping kids’ clothes together, and it makes use of a recycled item you definitely have at home.
You can use the hack in your own wardrobe, too, and plenty of thrilled parents shared their enthusiasm in the mom’s comments section.
The clever trick was shared on TikTok by a mom who posts under the handle Goldilocks.Bears.X and only identifies herself with initials, VG, online.
In a back-to-school TikTok, VG showed viewers how to use a bit of otherwise-useless material from soda cans to get ready for the school year.
“Grab some drink can tops and keep your kid’s uniform organized,” the mom wrote, showing the two tiny tools she’d use.
Holding up two pop tabs from cans of soda, showed one of her son’s school uniforms in the background: a shirt, sweatshirt, and slacks, spread across three hangers.
She slid one pop tag over a hanger holding the sweatshirt, then used the tab to connect a second hanger with a button-down shirt.
Another can tab allowed her to hang a pair of pants off the second hanger in the sequence.
Then, she had a complete school uniform hanging neatly on the back of the wardrobe, ready for the school day.
Parents in the comments section were impressed by VG’s hack, and excited that it gave them a reason to craft some drinks.

“Brilliant reason to open a can of lemonade to pour into my gin!” a cheeky parent wrote. “I’ll need to have five for a whole week of uniforms.”
“BRB off to drink some cans,” another mom joked.
Others commended the mom for her trick, which could work in any closet.
“I actually looked at this and thought I’d seen it before in wardrobes but this is brilliant for kids,” a parent said. “Love this idea.”
“My whole wardrobe is like this,” another woman chimed in.
Of course, kids will be kids – and some parents said theirs would absolutely sabotage the smart trick.
“Knowing my daughter she’d stick her fingers in them,” a parent wrote, receiving lots of laughing emojis in response.
