Easy Safety Glasses Storage

I needed a simple and easy way to keep my safety glasses organized, this is it.

All You Need Is a Wire Coat Hanger and 10 Minutes

I used a basic wire coat hanger

Cut the Top Off the Hanger

I left about 3 inches of wire past the bottom bend on each side.

Straighten the Slight Kink

I straightened the slight kink in the wire and bent the remaining portion to form an 90 degree angle on both sides. The result is something that looks like a very skinny towel bar.

Mark 1.5" From the Bend

I gave myself 1.5" of reveal.

Mark the Shelf and Drill

I held the wire against the shelf for a rough measurement, then determined that the wire was 3/32".

Grab a drill and poke two holes into the face of the shelf deep enough for the remaining wire.

Safety glasses are light, so I'm not worried about it collapsing.

It took me more time to write this than it did to do the project!
