Ways to Hang Baseball Hats
1. Clothes Hanger
Clothes hangers exist to organize, hang, dry, and keep shirts in their best shape. Hangers should also come in handy when collecting hats and other items which can be hung.
Clothes hangers are often made of wood, metal, or plastic. Of the materials that make up clothes hangers, wood proves to be the most durable. Wooden hangers do not deteriorate over time, even when used with wet items. And, they are not too heavy or light – a perfect balance between metal and plastic.
2. Shower Curtain Rings
Shower curtain rings are the top tool to store baseball caps. Moreover, you do not have to go picky on your curtain rings. Even cheap ones work magic!
3. Pegs
Pegs work like clothes hangers and curtain rings. The only significant difference is their integrative design, as pegs blend easily in every corner of the house.
Use them to organize baseball hats, and you will no longer have to spend effort remembering numerous locations for your hats.
4. Hat Boxes
Hat boxes provide the simplest solution for storing your baseball hats. Those seeking humid-free storage are sure to find it with the hat boxes.
With a larger size, hat boxes can store not only one but several baseball hats. So they should work perfectly with your collections.
5. Head Molds
Head molds do not usually find their place inside typical homes. One would usually find them in parlors, designer shops, fashion buildings, and the like. But with them around, it would be pretty easy to store your baseball hat for a temporary period.
Quick advice: Head molds can be quite expensive, whether you buy or make your own. So consider your budget before getting one.
