How to Display Sunglasses in Your Closet

Keep sunglasses in an easily accessible area for sunny days.

When it comes to closet organization, accessories are sometimes the trickiest items to store neatly and conveniently. Sunglasses, for example, can easily clutter up a drawer or countertop in the closet, and if you no longer have all the cases, can rub together and become scratched. Get creative and re-purpose items you may already have around the house to store your sunglasses neatly in a convenient area of your closet.

Things You'll Need

• Heavy, thick chain
• Over-the-door shoe organizer
• Accessory holder
• Picture frame
• Mesh fabric
• Lace fabric

Instructions

1. Hang your sunglasses from a heavy chain. Find a thick, heavy chain with large links that you can slip the arms of the sunglasses through. Hang the chain from nails on either side of a closet door or wall area. Each pair of sunglasses should have its own separate link and adequate space, making it easy for you to see and select one quickly.

2. Place sunglasses in an over-the-door shoe organizer. Choose one that has clear, see-through sections in order to be able to easily find the sunglasses you are looking for.

3. Hang sunglasses on an accessory holder. Accessory holders come in a variety of shapes, such as tree branches or flower petals. Choose one that is large enough from which to hang several pairs of sunglasses.

4. Hang glasses in a large, modified picture frame. Open up the back of the picture frame and take out the glass and back panel. Place a piece of mesh or lace inside the frame in place of the glass. Push the sunglasses arms through the mesh or lace to hold them securely.

Tips & Warnings

• Organize your sunglasses by style or color to help you select what goes with your outfit faster.
