DIY Jewelry and Sunglasses Storage

So here’s how I organized my sunglasses and accessories in the MB closet:

First, I am a sucker for knock off sunglasses and they were sadly living in a ziplock bag.

The first thing I did was picked up a cheap 8×10 frame at a local thrift store and painted it black.

Then I grabbed my stable gun and some leftover picture hanging wire. If you don’t have a heavy duty stapler a glue gun would also work.

I stapled two 10 inch pieces of wire to the frame. One at the top, and one at the middle. If you use got glue, use a generous amount.

It should look something like this. Pull the wire as tights as you can. If it’s a little loose no worries.

Next hang up your sunglasses!

A larger frame will obviously hold more sunglasses.

The other project I did was to get my jewelery organized.

This is another thrift store frame painted black, and covered with thin batting and fabric. I then screwed in these little hooks I picked up at Target. These are sold just about everywhere and come in several different finishes. They have gold, sliver, white, and a really fun dark bronze color. All different sizes too.

Next hang jewelry!

I spread out my jewelry first to get and idea of how I wanted to stagger my hooks. Mine are about three inches apart.

That’s it! Both are now hanging in my closet, and I love how they keep my jewelry organized!
