Turn Your Eyeglass Clutter Into Decor With This Unique Storage Idea

Having to wear glasses can be a bit of a downer, but it also gives you a chance to really show off your style. If you do take advantage of this fashion choice, you probably have a lot of glasses lying around or lost somewhere. Whether your current eyeglasses case is taking up too much space, or you are looking for some way to keep all your loose pairs together, this DIY offers a fun and simple way to do just that. 

The DIY involves using a picture frame and some cord to create rows where you can hang all of your glasses. It's easy to create a fun wall decoration that doubles as a place to store your glasses. It helps to keep your frames out of danger and gives you room to see all the pairs you own. This option is not only simple and space-saving, but it also uses cheap and easy-to-find items.

The main item used in this DIY is an old frame. These are treasured vintage and antique items that are often easy to find at thrift stores. You will also need a cord or ribbon that can hold some weight, a staple gun, and a way to hang the frame on your wall. It works well for sunglasses, too, giving you a place to store all of your favorite pairs. 

How to make this unique storage idea for eyeglasses

While a basic rectangular frame works, a square frame, the picture frame shape you don't want to overlook at the thrift store, can also be used, but you can use any that works for you. Once you find your frame, you need material to hang across the back. Use a thick cord, or you can use any sturdy material, including ribbons or jute, to give it a more polished or flirty look.

To get a feel for how far apart these cords should be, place your first one about where you want it and staple it down. Then, you can hang a pair of glasses from it to see how far down it goes. To prevent overlap and to protect the lenses, set the next string below the first row enough that the two won't interact. Add as many rows as you need or want. When you are done, all you need to do is hang it up and place your glasses on the rows. 

If you like the frame, but not necessarily the string idea, you could also combine this DIY with the one that helps you reduce visual clutter and organize sunglasses with an easy wall storage solution. This method involves using eyeglasses hangers that are placed on the wall. Use these in the area of your choice, and then use the frame around them to give it a little more visual appeal.
