This Dollar Tree DIY Will Add Stylish Sunglasses Storage To Your Entryway

Inviting your friends over for a house party sounds like a fun weekend idea, but the thought of all their accessories cluttering up your door area isn't as exciting. We have coat hangers and shoe racks, thankfully, but no one ever really considers storage for sunglasses. This would be especially helpful when the sun's glare is high in the summer. Even if you don't regularly have people over, you can still find use in stylish sunglasses storage situated right in your entryway. Don't forget to protect those gorgeous peepers as you leave the house. With a few affordable items from Dollar Tree, you can put together a chic holder that will elevate the room's decor.

TikTok craft enthusiast Erika Teran spent just $7.50 creating a masterpiece sunglasses holder using four 4-by-6 picture frames, removable self-adhesive hooks, and mounting tape to attach the frames to the wall, all from Dollar Tree. You'll also need a hot glue gun from your toolkit. If you don't have a Dollar Tree close to your house, you can just order the items online and have them delivered.

You can throw together your DIY sunglasses storage box in just a few minutes. In Erika Teran's TikTok video, she removes the clips and backs of three picture frames and glues them together in stacks, with the final untouched frame being the base. The goal is to create a shadow box using the frames and then attach the hooks.

Once the box is made, measure out and mark the spots where you want to place the hooks that will hold the glasses. If your sunglasses tend to be on the larger side, you may need to give the hooks more space apart. Remove the covering of the adhesive hooks and attach them to the marks. Finally, use the self-adhesive mounting tape to stick your new sunglasses storage onto the wall. These are the basic steps for making your sunglasses storage, but remember that the best thing about DIY-ing is customization. You can upgrade this box in several ways to better fit your aesthetic and be even more stylish and convenient for you.

Gluing together several picture frames was a genius plot, but you can bypass this step by purchasing an actual shadow box. Log onto Amazon for this 8-by-10 white, pearly shadow box for $24 if your living room has a prim and proper vibe to it, or this $10 8-by-10 burgundy pine box for more sophisticated décor. If you have extra cash to throw around, this $35 rustic wooden shadow box will complement all the other wooden furniture or accents you have in the living room.

Some of these shadow boxes have glass doors that open up, which will score you major points for class. These shadow boxes are wall-mounted, so the mounting tape won't work here. You'll have to pull out your hammer and pound a couple of picture hangers on the wall to hang them. The only downside is that it may cost you a few dollars more than the picture frames, but the results could be worth it.

If you're going to stick with the picture frames, no problem. Instead of just having one on the wall, make at least two or three and attach them horizontally beside each other for a standout effect. You get more storage space for your sunglasses, and the décor comes off as more intentional. If you want the picture frames in a more shouty design, get these cute glitter gold ones instead.
