The Clever Hanger Hack To Organize Your Glasses Without Spending A Dime

Are you tired of losing your glasses in the bottom of your bag, or to the back of drawers around your house? These small accessories often get lost, but there is an easy DIY storage hack you can use to help organize your glasses while displaying them. This hack is also a great way to repurpose plastic water bottles around the house. Using a standard clothes hanger and a few old empty water bottles, you can make your home organization and storage more sustainable. This is a one-of-a-kind, customizable hack that's ideal for beginner crafters: You can go above and beyond when it comes to the size or customization for your glasses storage, or keep it simple and functional.

Before jumping into this DIY, it's important to make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. Start by grabbing your hangers and all the glasses or sunglasses you plan to display in your new organizer. Then, depending on how many pairs of glasses you have, be sure to have the same number of water bottles. You'll also need some zip ties, a glue gun, and a stapler. There's also the option to use extra embellishments like paint to elevate the final look if you plan to display the glasses storage in a central location, such as an entryway or mudroom.

Once the materials are ready, it's time to get crafting! Start by cutting the top off of each water bottle, removing around ¼ of the material, depending on how large you'd like them to be. Use the hot glue gun to secure the solid bottom side of two cut water bottles together, and repeat this until you have enough bottles to store your glasses. Next, use a stapler to reinforce the bottles together at their openings, and use a zip tie to secure the first row of bottles to the clothes hanger by making small cuts to the bottles at the top. That's the bulk of this hack, meaning all that's left is to customize the glasses organizer if you're feeling extra creative. Run out of hangers for this hack?

If you're not up to getting out your DIY crafting supplies, you can take an easier approach to this organization hack. One option is to skip building the bottle storage and instead just hang your glasses over the bottom portion of a clothes hanger to display them. This is a great alternative for those who have just a few pairs of glasses or just need a temporary solution to help them organize their space.
