But it’s still summer!

Hang your flip flops this way... or show your consignment shop blog readers how to!This idea is just too cute to keep to myself.

Homemade flip-flop hangers using recycled wire hangers! (And they work on ballet flats too.)

See it all at epbot.com.

If you think the idea’s too cute to keep to yourself, and if it would cheer up those customers who think your shop’s pushing fall goods too soon, post the link on your shop blog. Or in your FB account at the very least. It’ll cheer them up.

Heck, you could even ask your handiest-dandiest friend to make you a slew of these for your shop!

    We are also moving! However, our floor plan is totally different than what we have now so I have had to come up with some creative ways to display items! I used this item not for shoes but for Scarves! I tie the scarf into a bow and you the two ends to hold up the “bow” part. It is adorable.

    Another idea that we found on the internet was using a dress form to display all our belts!

    Our clientelle is excited about the move due to us displaying some of our ideas in the old store.

    These have been on my to-do list for awhile… we have a boat load of wire hangers, just haven’t had time to do it! We may hold off and do these next year and offer them as a giveaway of some kind because we are getting prepared to move the store!
