DIY Your Own Shoe Peg Wall Display With A Dollar Tree Kitchen Essential

Got a sneakerhead in your house? If so, this shoe display hack is for you. Every sneaker enthusiast loves showing off their collection, and while you can pay a pretty penny for high-end display cases, there are lots of inexpensive ways to create a one-of-a-kind sneaker display worthy of your style-defining footwear. So save your hard-earned money for your sneaker habit, and go with this Dollar Tree shoe display hack that will cost you next to nothing. 

Your shoe peg wall supplies won't be on Dollar Tree's storage and organization aisle. Instead, head to the kitchen section and grab the Cooking Concepts Clear Glass Salt and Pepper Shakers. You'll only need one shaker per shoe, so this salt and pepper set will run you $1.50 per pair, or 0.75 cents per shoe. That's hard to beat for a shoe display wall and is just one of many affordable accent wall ideas you can DIY with Dollar Tree items. Once you've got your shaker sneaker holders home, remove the lids so you're left with the glass containers. In their tutorial video, TikToker @motivatedbymylan appears to attach the shakers to the wall using adhesive around the opening, but you can also hang them on a nail. One glass jar will support the center of the shoe so that the sneaker can balance on top, but you can use two shakers per shoe if yours need more stability. With this in mind, spend some time mapping out your shoe peg wall design and mark where you want your shakers to go on the wall. Then, simply hang or stick on the shakers, and place the shoes on top.

Your sneaker display isn't limited to Dollar Tree's kitchen aisle. Walk the store and be ready to find inspiration in unexpected places. TikToker @motivatedbymylan found other Dollar Tree items that would make unique sneaker peg wall displays. One idea any sports fan will love is hanging mini basketball goals — spray-painted gold for extra impact — on the wall and displaying a shoe on each hoop (currently unavailable at Dollar Tree, but Five Below carries Character Indoor Basketball Sets for $5.) Or, use Dollar Tree's Cooking Concepts Metal Paper Towel Holders installed sideways so a shoe can rest on top. For an even less expensive Dollar Tree shoe wall display hack that sneaker lovers will adore, grab a box of thumb tacks and upcycle your shoe boxes into floating shelves. Just tack the boxes into the wall using five or so thumb tacks, put one shoe inside the box, and rest the other on top. 

Another creative DIY solution for keeping shoe clutter organized and off the floor? Wall-mount your shoes using industrial pipes. The rustic wall connector pieces give this hack a defined look, and you can line your shoes along the pipes. This method will also work with other types of shoes, so you can put your entire collection on display.
