DIY Jewelry Organizers

Jewelry is the thing that puts the whole finish on an outfit. Simple, elegant, or sleek and brassy. Many a person has built quite the collection through their years but end up finding that the result is quite dismal. Necklaces, watches, earrings – all of which can’t be found as there is no chance to organize it. Here are a few clever ways to organize your jewelry in an appealing but cheap way.

Watches and Bracelets

This little necessity can add as much with an outfit as it’s functional, but what to do to organize them! I once had a friend that used to keep her watches on a paper towel dispenser. She attached it on to the wall and wouldn’t you know that it not merely organized them but made them easily accessible as well. She also had a different one that stored her rings. What an excellent space saver for your dresser!

Necklaces

Necklaces are so great until they get tangled and broken! A fantastic way to organize them would be to buy a men’s tie rack. A lot of these fit compactly into your closet or on the wall by your mirror. These permit you to hang them without getting them tangled while having the ability to twirl your way in to the perfect necklace choice. Another inexpensive idea I know of is to try using a hanger with clothes pins in between to stop tangling of the necklaces. Great hint for vacationing with necklaces that you don’t want to be tangled – place the chains inside a drinking straw for the trip. This keeps all chains tangle free!

Earrings

Earrings are usually the biggest headache to get organized. Is it simply me or does one of a match always appear to be missing? I have witnessed a number of very cute and inexpensive ideas for getting these darn things in check! Using an embroidery circle with some embroidery material (colour of your choice) tightly within the circle. This is the perfect surface to poke through your earrings for display. Even hoops round the sides might be organized using this solution. Other things I have seen include egg carton with top removed or ice cube trays. While those are cheap as well, they aren’t quite to appealing to the eye as the first one. As for those earrings that have lost their mate, you should store them as they are great as pins or accessories for scarves!
