For most sunglass lovers, one or two pairs is never enough. As you acquire the latest designs or buy more colors to match your outfits, your collection quickly grows. So if you've reached that point where you absolutely need more storage to organize your options, we've got one of the best TikTok storage hacks you'll want to try in your home – the Dollar Tree wire storage tray hack. You'll save both time and money with this hack because the simple Essentials Wire Tray costs only $1.50 and assembling it into an eyeglasses organizer is quite easy. All you need to do is mount it on the wall and hang up your favorite shades.

The surface area on a single wire tray that you'll use to put up glasses measures 9 1/4 inches by 12 3/5 inches and can hold several pairs of average-sized sunglasses. And because it hangs vertically on a wall (which would otherwise remain bare), it doesn't take up any surface or closet space so you can save that for your other accessories and outfits. Also, no more scratches on your sunnies, which is hard to avoid if you store them in a drawer. On the other hand, you can easily double or triple your storage as your collection grows by simply adding a second and third wire tray.

How to make your DIY sunglasses storage using a Dollar Tree wire tray

You literally just need two things for this project: the Dollar Tree wire storage tray and thumb tacks. The trays are available in either black or gold so pick your preferred color or match your home decor. Now, begin by propping the wire tray up against the wall in your bedroom to identify the ideal spot you want it to be. Next push in the thumb tacks on the top corners to hold up the tray with the open side facing the wall. Since the wire tray is lightweight the two supports at the top are sufficient to hold it up. Alternatively, you can tie a string from the two top corners of the frame and hang it up on a single nail in the wall. Some fans of this hack mounted the rack with screws for added stability.

Now hang up your glasses one by one through the spacing in the wire tray. Looking at the beautiful, orderly display, you realize you've managed to turn your eyeglass clutter into wall decor with this unique storage idea. In fact, if you mount it on the wall next to your front door, this Dollar Tree DIY can also add a stylish sunglasses storage to your entryway. That front-door location is also convenient, making it easy to grab your shades on your way out.

Finally, you can add your own twist to this glasses display by spray painting the wire tray before hanging it up. This gives you more color options besides the black and gold. Feel free to also attach decorative items on the outer border of the tray for further beautification such as these 3D Butterfly Wall Decor or these Mini Artificial Silk Flowers.
