Attach a clothesline made of ribbon, wire or string to the wall to hang garters vertically. Clip or pin your garters to the line. Attach clothesline along a corridor, or drape it artfully above the Victrola.

Hang your garters in a dressing room or closet. This is good if you want to see them often but don't want them to be seen by everyone who stops by.

Tips & Warnings
Mix and match your garter belts with other items, such as costume jewelry, hats, old postcards and impractical but fantastic high heels. Build a display that's a tribute to the things you love and that makes you happy every time you look at it.
Don't overload the clothesline, or your garters and accessories may fall.
