I don't use a lot of napkin rings, but do have a few sets. There are two mini drawers in the butler's pantry and that's where I stash what I have. One of the drawers has seasonal and everyday rings stacked in layers.
The other has all of the nautical rings and picks.
Not long ago, I saw a storage idea and so I decided to give it a try. I would love to give due credit since it's not my brainchild, but I cannot lay my hands on the site. Isn't that the way it always goes?
You need a pants organizer hanger like this one. Three of the arms swing out and, as you can see, the ends clasp shut while not in use.
Slip on the rings, hang it in the closet and you will be able to grab whatever you need when you set a table.
Mine happens to be Mainstays brand and I will say that the rungs are a bit too close together for my satisfaction. It does the trick, but I think it would be worth searching for a brand with more space between each arm. I have a couple more to add and in the end, I decided to leave my Lucite and real shell napkin rings boxed because they are so fragile. I also decided to tuck my bunnies (visible in the first photo) in my spring decorating tote because they were rather bulky to store on the hanger. I'm always happy to consider new storage tips so I wanted to share this suggestion in case it might be something you'd like to use.
A place for everything and everything in
its place! 😉
