A makeshift closet can be added anywhere in your home. All you need is two walls, some clothesline and light weight fabric. You can choose to use the whole end of a room or a corner for this project. What you need to do first is make a large curtain out of light weight fabric. You need to make a loop at the top for the clothesline to go through and hem up the bottom to prevent fraying. Now you need to hang the close line between your two chosen walls and string up your curtain. Once you secure the clothesline to the wall you now have a makeshift closet.
It is very important that you do not try to substitute supplies for this project.
