I have several sets of these rings that I find at thrift stores for little to nothing. I loop them together to form a chain and hang them from my closet shelves and hang my scarves through them. Another "chain" holds my belts, another holds lightweight purses, and yet another holds all my scrunchies. I also have a couple stored in each suitcase. I hang them on the towel bar inside the shower to drip dry bathing suits. I clip a couple on the outside of my rolling suitcase to hold small bags.
I find them so useful no matter what shape they are. I use them in the car for hanging anything I need in a hurry, my purse, garbage bags, kids toys, keys, scarfs, gloves, dog leashes etc. You can usually find a place to hang the hanger on. I can go on and on. Oh I also use them to hang on my purse for easy grab things and on my green grocery bag handles for extra small bags or car keys, etc.
I use mine to organize my daughters hair elastics by colour. Then put them into a decorative box on her dresser so when we are getting ready for school, I can just grab the colour I want, take a couple off of the ring and I am ready to go.
Put one on the end of your shower rack for your shower cap.
For the working lady, put one on the hanger that you have the outfit you are going to wear and use it for the jewelry, scarf, etc. that you are going to wear with it to save you time in the morning putting an outfit together. Same idea can be used for the school kids. Put one on their hanger holding the outfit they are going to wear and use one for their socks, underwear etc.
Use them to keep the mates of socks together after they are laundered. Just stick the socks through the hole.
Use them on your clothesline to dry scarves, pantihose, etc. without that "clothespin" mark.
I used them to hold baby toys on the high chair and stroller when my kids were babies. Just snapped one ring thriough the toy, made a chain that cleared the ground, and attached the other end to the stroller/high chair arm. Sure saved a lot of bending, and the kids learned to pull them up by themselves .

RE: Uses for Shower Curtain Rings
Ever notice how the hang tabs on your hair dryer are too small most of the time to hang it up on larger bathroom hooks? Well, the best thing that I have found to use is a shower curtain ring. It opens and closes easily, and very cheap to replace. Anytime you change the decor in your bathroom, just save a couple of the extra curtain rings for uses such as this. (07/21/2004)

RE: Uses for Shower Curtain Rings
Clip one or two on your hand towel rack and clip necklaces and bracelets onto it.
Use it to hold you or your little girls' hair bands, scrunchies, etc. Keep it all in one place.
Keep one by your kitchen sink, bathroom sink or shower to put your rings or jewelry on while you do dishes or bathe. There is less likely of a chance of them to fall down the drain or get lost.
Have a key rack with small hooks and not enough space for all your keys? Hang them in sets using the shower curtain hook.
Use in others areas to hang regular curtains or to keep in your camp gear to hang something from to dry or to make a curtain to change clothes behind.
Use them to hang a wall quilt on a rod. (07/21/2004)
