I have a hundred chokers for my fashion, and I cycle them every single day.

Currently, They are all stored in their original plastic sleeves.

This means my routine is as follows.

  • Pick up pile of sleeves
  • Select a choker by shuffling through the sleeves like they are cards.
  • unpack choker
  • place choker on for the day
  • remove choker
  • put choker back in sleeve
  • place sleeve back in pile

I find the task of sleeve management to be frustrating. And would rather have them all organized in such a way so that I may be able to view them, and choose them out as warranted.

What do you say is the best way to store them? (Product, Idea to make, anything)

Edit 1: A limitations I have is that I cannot install anything permanently to the apartment. πŸ˜–

Maybe sell half.

You could get one of those drying rack things with all the hooks/clips, put them all on that, then spin it and grab one at random

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

What you need is a metal rod suspended by magnets. You can put all the chokers on it like hoops on a pole. Then you can just take from one end and put back at the other. Or sort through them I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

maybe just a rope/chain, put them in that and then just make it little and to the drawer

idk if I explained myself

But 100 clothespins. Glue them to the back of your closet door.

Edit: example

clothespins holder

Sounds like you'd benefit from one of those large keyrings.

They open up at a single point, so in the morning you can see which one you want, move the entire circle of chokers around so that one is next to the opening, open it up, and grab the choker.

Also, no installation to the walls.

As I have sworn to upholed the constitution of the USA & NYS, I am unable to partake in illegal activities such as owning a giraffe.

Someone else has already commented about giraffe plushies though.

Can we see some of the collection please?

Much better subject. ✨

This would work, if I had more hanger room 😭

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What about taking numbered pictures of them and categorizing them like in a library?

So you can browse the photos and find them based on what sleeve number you've assigned it to.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

While this is smart, it only delays the issue to after I've selected.

I would still need to store them, but now numerically!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Get some cheap carabiners and use one for each style/color/whatever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not fully sure how this would work, can you elaborate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

The carabineers would function similar to a keychain, and you can use multiple carabineers to enforce organization.

I'm sick right now and I read this as I have 100 chickens how do I store them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

100 chickens, how do I choke them all?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Hopefully you feel better soon!


Personally the best way to store 100 chickens is to let them be free in a field!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought it said chonkers and I thought they were asking some theoretical intellectual question about 100 obese cats

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

That is also how I originally read it.

My initial thoughts were, how this one achieve this crazy expensive feat.

Feeding 100 cats until they are all obese, along with housing and vet bills...

Drawers with dividers. Like people use for jewelry. People also use them for things like watches, pens, knives, etc, anything collectible and around the same size. So there are differently-shaped options. They come in every material you might want - plastic, coated cardboard, wood, steel. The main advantage of using a box or sealing drawers is that they won't get dusty over time.

Here's one made of acrylic that could hold most of them, assuming they are very flexible: https://www.amazon.com/Watpot-Acrylic-Jewelry-Drawers-Organizer/dp/B09WMCPJT3/

If they aren't very flexible then look for something like a bangle organizer: https://www.amazon.com/Glenor-Co-Bracelet-Jewelry-Removable/dp/B07Q32R79N

The prices of these hurt πŸ˜–

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

The bangle organizers are basically just faux velvet over a dowel if you want to DIY!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Paper chains around the room!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

As in the chokers making the chain? Or paper chains holding the chokers?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe something like this?

1000005077

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooo, This is super effective! I'll see the costs and more.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

If you're a sewer, you can probably convert some fabric and a cloths hanger into something similar.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

If they can be attached to each other end to end you can spool them around a stick loosely and remove from one end and add to the other, like a 100 element FIFO buffer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I like this thinking, but it falls into the trap that I then would have a very tricky time getting an element in the middle of the buffer.
