{Yet Another} Diy Sunglasses & Key Holder

by Erin Colburn
Could I make more of these, honestly? This is the 4th sunglasses and/or key holder I've made in the last few years. But I know that everyone's organizing needs are different, so maybe this will be the best fit for you.
I actually shared this sunglasses & key holder last year as a guest post, but completely forgot to share it here. If you look at this first picture, you can see our old floors, and even the old oak doors showing on the pantry. Whew! Glad that's all gone!!
This project was super simple and inexpensive. I actually had everything I needed, and it took me about 20 minutes to complete. Here's what you need:


1. Piece of Wood


I used a scrap piece of 1x8, but you could do any size you want, depending on how much you want to store.


2. Fabric of Choice


I chose a duck cloth in green chevron from Hobby Lobby. This is leftover from the barstools I re-covered a few years ago.


3. Piece of Ribbon


The length should be the width of the board, plus a little bit extra to wrap around. For instance, I used about 14" of ribbon for this board.


4. Cup Hooks


As many as you want, to hang up keys.


5. Cup Pull


This is a drawer pull that you can get for about $5.


6. Tools:


Staple Gun, Staples, Power Drill/Screw Driver


To get started, cut your fabric to size and wrap it around the board like you would a present. Staple the fabric down so it is tight.
Then, wrap your ribbon around the board at the top, and staple in the back. I also stapled it once on each side to keep the ribbon tight when the sunglasses are hanging from it.
