2016 is here; it\u2019s time to put an end to those excuses, stop that procrastination, and roll out those New Year\u2019s Resolutions to military precision. If you\u2019ve promised yourself that you\u2019re going to clean out your clutter and tidy up your wardrobe, you\u2019ll need some modern day storage hacks to help you on your way.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a lover of shades and don\u2019t have protective cases for all of your specs (some<\/em> of us are guilty of losing them), then finding a safe place to store your sunglasses can be an organisational nightmare. And whilst you may enjoy collecting designer sunglasses as a bit of a pastime (all us fashionistas do), it\u2019s very likely that you\u2019ll own a large selection of cheap sunglasses too \u2013 and most budget specs don\u2019t tend to come with a good quality case.<\/p>\n

So where do you keep all your sunglasses \u00a0without them getting damaged, lost or squished by other accessories in your ever-expanding wardrobe? Fear not sunglasses fans, here are 5 storage hacks for your sunglasses and they won\u2019t cost you a penny…<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got an old photo frame lying around in your garage or storage cupboard, why not upcycle it and turn it into something super cool and useful? You\u2019ll get top marks for creativity and your upcycling efforts will make you an eco-warrior too. All you need is some wire and some eye hooks to secure the wire into place. You can also use string or even coloured ribbon if you want to get artistic.<\/p>\n

2. Coat Hanger Sunglasses Rack<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now didn\u2019t I tell you these hacks wouldn\u2019t cost you a penny? All you need is a wooden or a wire hanger \u2013 just make sure it\u2019s a traditional triangular hanger with a bottom bar (used to suspend skirts and trousers) \u2013 as it\u2019s the bottom bar that you\u2019ll be using to hook your sunglasses onto. Simply hang your coat hanger inside your wardrobe (allow plenty of room so they don\u2019t get squashed) and suspend your sunglasses along the bottom of the hanger. Alternatively, you can display the hanger on the wall with a nail or a coat hook. If you don\u2019t have a hammer handy, you can\u00a0use a sticky back coat hook (available from most DIY shops and supermarkets).<\/p>\n

Metal coat hooks are the perfect shape and size to rest the bridge of your sunglasses on and they can be attached to just about anything\u00a0you want (wooden surfaces or plasterboard are best).
