Modern Sunglasses Holder

Step-by-step build — 8 steps. Also available as a print sheet.

  1. 1Drill pocket holes

    - On two Boards, drill three pocket holes along one long edge. - Drill the holes in the middle and 2" in from each end.

  2. 2Attach boards

    - Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach one Board with pocket holes into the one that doesn’t have holes. - Repeat for the other Board into the other side of the middle Board.

  3. 3Round corners

    - Using the Kreg Corner Routing Guide to route curved corners. - You can use any size chamfer depending on the look you want. I used 1 1/2" for this build.

  4. 4Drill holes

    - Mark a spot 1 1/2" in and 1 1/2" down from the top of the top Board on both the front and back of the piece. - Using a 1" Forstner bit, drill a recessed hole on the back of the board about halfway through the wood in each marked position. - Then, flip the board over and use a 1/4" drill bit and drill through the board in the marked positions.

  5. 5Stain or oil

    - Sand the piece down with a high grit sandpaper. - Apply your favorite oil or stain to the wood and let dry.

  6. 6Add bungee

    - Insert the end of the bungee cord into the 1/4" hole on one side and tie it tight on the back so that the knot is in the recessed larger hole on the back. - Pull the bungee across and into the other hole so it is tight. - Tie off a second knot on the back so it fits into the other recessed hole.

  7. 7Hang

    - Add mounting hardware to the back of the sunglasses holder (I used keyhole hangers). - Add nails or screws into the wall and hang the board up. - Slide one arm of your sunglasses behind the bungee to hang them up.
