The Correct Way to Roll and Store Belts
Slowly but surely I’m going to revolutionize your wardrobe. From shoes to bags , there are so many accessories that can be collected and displayed, but they do take up a ton of space, so finding storage solutions for all types of jewelry should be a priority for anyone who lives a fashionable lifestyle.
But even if that’s not the case and you don’t have a closet overflowing with handbags and shoes, you almost certainly have a small (or not so small) collection of belts. Here’s a good way to organize it.
How to roll up storage straps without them coming undone
Until I saw the following technique on TikTok , I stored my belts by hanging them from the handle of my closet door. This is not true. They always fell, pulled down by the weight of the buckle at one end, and the weight of that buckle can stretch and damage thinner straps over time. You could get some hooks and hang all the straps somewhere by the buckle, but that will take up wall space. Instead, you should twist the straps to help them maintain their shape.
But it’s hard to keep the straps tucked in, isn’t it? They just keep falling apart, right? Not if you try this method, which is popular on social media:
Using the buckle for stability, you thread the belt back through it and pull it almost all the way through, creating a small hole. Then start rolling the belt on the other side and insert the resulting spiral into the hole you made. I tried this method and found it to be easy to do and effective in getting all my straps rolled up and in a shape that was easy to fold. But why stop there?
How to Store All Your Belts
You can stack your newly miniature belts on a shelf, in a drawer, or in a box—I recommend a small one that will help keep them organized and safe, like this one:
But I prefer another method that I came across recently because I find it helpful to make it easier to see all the options when you’re choosing what to wear. So instead, place the straps on a paper towel holder like this one:
The little handle that is supposed to attach the paper towels to the roll will hold the straps in place and keep them rolled up, and arranging them this way will give you a better idea of what you have and save you from having to dig through the box to find that particular one belt
