My husband has so many caps that it was hard to keep them organized in our tiny closet. So I took some clothes line, slipped a bunch of clothespins over the line through the springs and then tied the line to a couple of eye hooks along one wall of our garage. It’s a great way to store them and to let them air out after he gets back from smoky hunting and camping trips. — Lori Bosiger
