7 Genius Dollar Tree Hacks To Keep Your Baseball Hats Neat And Organized
A good baseball cap is like the cherry on top of a delicious outfit sundae — it's a small finishing touch that perfectly completes the look. If you're a fan of baseball hats and you've amassed a small collection of them featuring different colors and logos, then you might be looking for the best ways to store and organize your hats. Well, there are quite a few options to consider, including some out-of-the box products that you can find at Dollar Tree. Everything from paper towel holders to shower curtain rings can be used as organizing gadgets to optimize your hat storage.
Keeping your hats organized and together in one area will help streamline the getting-ready process. Instead of having to search for your favorite hat in the closet, in your car, and all around the house, you can instead go to one central location that houses your entire collection. Having the hats neatly displayed also means you won't forget about hats that you haven't worn in a while that might otherwise have fallen to the back depths of your closet, never to be seen again. And, organization tools can keep your hats from getting damaged.
Paper towel holder
There are several clever ways to use paper towel holders around the house, and hat storage is one of them. For this method, mount a Cooking Concepts Paper Towel Holder to your wall or door by hanging the base of the holder on a Command hook. Then, begin placing hats on the holder by sliding them on through the back strap of each hat. If you want, put a clip on the end of your paper towel holder to act as a stopper so none of your hats fall off. Or, bend the long portion upwards slightly.
Garden S hooks
The S hook method couldn't be easier to set up. All you need to do is grab a few packs of Dollar Tree's Garden Collection Metal Garden Hooks and string them together, monkeys-in-a-barrel style, inside of your closet. Then, hang hats from their back straps on each of the hooks. This option is a great use of vertical space, but it can be finicky when trying to get hats off and on the hooks. Hold onto the chain of hooks to keep them from coming apart.
Wire dish rack
Dollar Tree's Essentials White Wire Dish Drying Racks make great hat holders for those with a small collection. Simply slide the brim of each hat into the spaces between each wire. Pro tip: mount the dish rack to the wall to take up less space. If you're going the wall-mounted route, be sure to bend the wires upward to keep your hats in place.
Decorative sign
If you're looking for baseball hat storage that's as cute as it is functional, then this little DIY hook setup is perfect. For this option, grab Dollar Tree's Tool Bench Hardware Wall-Mountable Metal Hangers with Hooks and use the provided hardware to mount it to the wall. Then, cover the top part of the hanger with a decorative wooden sign. You can make this yourself or use these Hanging Horizontal Wooden Welcome Signs. Then simply hang one hat on each hook. You can also make this setup by attaching adhesive hooks to a pre-existing wall sign.
Shower curtain rings
Shower curtain rings can be repurposed for a surprising number of things around your home, like hat storage, for example. Grab a pack of Home Collection Clear Plastic Shower Curtain Rings and attach them to the back strap of each hat. Then you can attach the rings with the hats on them to your closet rod, a mounted curtain rod, or directly onto a clothes hanger.
Adhesive wall hooks
Adhesive wall hooks are a fast, simple, and renter-friendly way to make a gallery wall with your hats. Dollar Tree has several different options, including Tool Bench Removable Hooks for $1.50 or these Wooden Looking Plastic Removable Wall Hooks. If you don't mind using screws instead of adhesive strips, then these Tool Bench Hardware Heavy Duty Hooks are a great, chic alternative and are also only $1.50. Hang one hook per hat, and position the hooks in rows or other patterns.
Stackable bins
These Stackable Deep Storage Bins cost $4 at Dollar Tree, but they can be used for countless storage and organizing projects around your house, including hat storage. Stack the bins in your closet if you want your hats to be tucked away, or stack them up near a full-length mirror in your home so you have easy access to your hats when you're checking out your outfit of the day. As you acquire more hats, you can simply purchase another bin and add it to the stack.
