I have a lot of these shelf units. The cool thing about them is the support rods have holes in the shelves themselves. Using two Dollar Tree hooks that normally go over the door, I found that I can use something to make a rod and hang a bunch of things like: hammers, tape, ribbon, scissors, kitchen utensils, and so much more.
For simplicity sake, I hung all the things in this list in one shot, but you could make one on each side of the shelf unit if there is room and have one thing on each one.
I hope this helps.

I think this is a good idea, I'm definitely going to share it with my mom, because she can never find her hammers in the mess in her garage! And I'd sure like to know who keeps giving 'thumbs down' to entries, it isn't very nice!
Thanks. it's a good idea and it can be used for all kinds of good things.
I agree on the thumbs down.
What happened is a reader sent in a rather rude comment, and I reported it. Now, I am sure they are one and someone they might know is another but that's ok.
I just try and focus on the positive things we get done here and consider the source.
I hope this helps for your mom. Also tell her that wide handled pliers and other tools that are too wide to slip down inside, can be stored in that top hole, too. I keep my butlers dust pan in upside down which really helps keep it out of the way.
I appreciate the positive support. PBP
I hadn't thought about the 'thumbs down' being from someone who made a bad comment. I've noticed the last couple of months that people seem to be getting more 'thumbs down' & usually it seems to be people with higher vote numbers. I thought it might be someone giving thumbs down in hopes of knocking down the final score on someone.
I totally agree with 'this person not playing fair' that is giving the thumbs down on things Sandi has taken the time to share with us. Personally I look forward to her posts, she does a great job of keeping us involved in saving money and I personally can not thank her enough. I have been a Thrifty Fun Member for years, if not decades actually. Sandi you do a wonderful job on this site and I look forward to reading your posts so, keep up the great work!
We took away the "Thumbs Down" option for situations just like this. It was abused by people who thought it would help them win. It isn't really in the friendly spirit of ThriftyFun anyway. I always love Sandi's posts, she has been an important part of ThriftyFun for years.
Glad to see you active in the feedback, Paula. :)
I thought I posted this but for some reason it didn't. Thank you so much for your kind words. This was that "OMGoodness" moment I needed today. I will keep up the great work. I just was asked to make cat mats' for our local no kill shelter. Will post it tonight for a "just share". For the few negitive nellies I get on here, there are 50 that like what I post. I will keep it up for you all. Sandi/PBP
Oh Jess...you always make me feel appreciated. I can't thank you and your family enough for keeping this site alive!! Will post a cool new development tonight. Thanks! PBP
I have similar shelf units. Like you, I have invented ways to use the area on the ends. Some of mine have vented shelves. So using "S" hooks can also be done along the front of the shelf. Because I always have recycle containers (cans, plastic bottles, etc), I drill a hole in the side of the bottle or can for the "S" hook to be hung, and they can be used for smaller items.
