In the kitchen.

Recipe holder. Yes, you read that right. Clip that recipe card or magazine page to the curtain rod ring and hang the ring on a cabinet door knob… Pretty cool, huh?

How about hanging a hand towel the same way? You can have it right where you need it while cooking or baking, and remove it when guests arrive!

In the bath.

Shower: on the curtain rod to hold extras: loofas, wash cloths, sponges, razors, etc.

How about a Don't-Knock-I'm-Busy sign on the door?

Of course there are always those little affirmation notecards - now you have an easier way to keep them in view: clip one to a curtain rod ring and hang it on anything around the mirror.

In the bedroom.

In the closet: curtain rings are perfect to hold scarves, necklaces - why, you can hang them right next to the outfits you love pairing them with!

In the closet: let's take that first tip a little farther: some people actually have matching lingerie for outfits - really, we're not joking - and a curtain ring would be a perfect way to keep them together. Easy to grab and no searching required.

Again in the closet: how about those trouser socks? Since they're so easy to lose in the sock drawer, why not hang them from a curtain ring in the closet?

Still in the closet (yes, we know it's not funny…): have an item that you just can't fit anywhere, like that belt with the gigantic buckle?

In the hallway.

Kids' mittens, hats, scarves - even the kids if they're light enough! (Just kidding, of course!)

What about that collection of green save-the-earth shopping bags you're always forgetting to take along? Need a place to keep them where you'll actually remember to grab them?

And, of course, those fab designer handbags - now you can hang them in the hallway closet on a curtain ring so they're at your fingertips when you're ready to switch bags.

In the car.

The great thing about curtain rod rings is they hang easily on small knobs – and most cars have an abundance of those.

Things you can hang from a curtain rod ring in the car: phone cords, travel tissue boxes, maps (almost things of the past), notes, grocery lists…

Hang your curtain rod rings on chairs and clip balloons to them for birthday parties.
