I bought some that are made out of that same material around Christmas. A red and black. I think I kept both. I may have returned one

That has been frustrating so now, I just put them in a drawer, folded so I can actually see what I have!
my ribbed sweaters i am trying out a solution. i rolled them and stuffed 5-6 on one shelf of a canvas hanging shelf. that way i see all of them by color, but i haven't memorized which color is which neckline.
i've done a few of the thin sweaters this way too. unfortunately i can't do this for all sweaters since the more i have stored rolled and less visible, i'd lose track of which ones they are... especially if many of them are black.

i organized my closet by color today
I really don't know if I'm doing something wrong because I'm just doing it on my own, but I find that my feet kind of get slippery, but then again, it's probably because it's sweaty and trying to hang on/figure out poses.

I do all kinds of crafty stuff so maybe I can offer some ideas. You could wire 'N' & 'C' separately and dangle them from the bows like charms. Also, I've been starting to work with flat-back rhinestones. They come in a lot of sizes- at about ss16-25 they would be small enough to eek out a nicely shaped logo. Cut out your logo shape on cardstock of the same blue shade that your rhinestones will be, glue the stones on and voila. Michael's carries ones like this [michaels.com] . Depending on how many you're going to do, you could buy cheaper/non-swarovski through your local craft store OR I've been using DreamtimeCreations. They have a wealth of options including 1-day & 2-day shipping. These dull-blue [dreamtimecreations.com] ones look about right for your purpose, their crystal glue is incredible (these are hot-fix, but I wouldn't depend on that). 1440 stones/10gross should cover any major project. Good luck!

Materials:
- inkjet printer
- white cardstock (Off-white will distort the color), preferably with a sheen to it- ink will sit on the top and pick up more powder. Do not use construction paper.
- clear embossing powder (you could try clear with glitter, but IME, it just looks dirty), $3-4
- heat tool, ~$12
1) predetermine the size of logo needed for your job.
2) Setting your printer to it's highest ink setting, print the logo out.
2) As the image exits the printer, drop embossing powder on the image. <--most important part, if ink is totally dry- powder won't stick!
3) Shake off excess, then use heating tool to melt the powder, revealing your image, now raised and glossy
4) cut logo out and adhere to bows
All materials can be found at Michael's or JoAnn's. I did this for our wedding invitations- results were amazing.
This is the only YouTube video I could find on it. [youtube.com]
