3 Awesome Ways to Organize Your
Jewelry
If you’re anything like me, you have
a substantial jewelry collection. Who can’t resist a fun pair of
earrings?
One of the most common organizing
challenges for women is how to organize jewelry. Necklaces get
tangled. The backs of earrings disappear. And you can never find the
cocktail ring you’re looking for when you’re rushing out the
door.
How to Organize Jewelry
Necklaces should be stored individually
or hung vertically so they don’t become tangled with themselves or
other jewelry. Bracelets can be kept in a compartmentalized drawer or
tray.
Organize earrings by type. Studs and
hoops can be stored in small compartments. Dangly earrings should
hang vertically to avoid entanglements and damage.
Wherever you store your jewelry, it’s
a good idea to store some extra earring backs, jewelry cleaner and
silver polish nearby.
If you’re feeling crafty, here are 3
awesome ways to organize your jewelry.
3 Awesome DIY Jewelry Organization
Tips
1. Create a burlap earring frame.
You'll need a picture frame, a piece of
burlap, acrylic paint, corkboard and a foam brush. Cut the burlap and
corkboard to fit your frame. Affix the burlap to your corkboard. Then
paint or stamp a design of your choice onto the fabric.
Assemble your new picture frame and
you've got a stylish way to display your favorite earrings.

2. Driftwood Necklace Holder
Pick up a piece of driftwood or an
interestingly shaped branch. Grab some paint, picture hangers and
screw-in hooks. The driftwood design has a rustic visual appeal, but
you could use any type of wood to get the same effect.
It’s a good idea to sand the wood
before starting, especially if you acquired it on a nature walk.
Paint the driftwood to match your style. You could keep it simple and
earthy or embellish it with lots of color.
Attach picture hangers to the back of
the wood so you’ll be able to hang it on your wall. Then screw
hooks into the bottom. Space the hooks about an inch apart from each
other. That way, your necklaces will hang freely and avoid becoming
tangled.

3. Bangle Bracelet Holder
Bangle bracelets are tricky to store.
They don’t quite fit into most jewelry boxes and they don’t hang
well on a hook.
Rather than stash them in the dark
corners of your dresser drawers, create a bangle holder from items
you already own.
Most bottles fit bangle bracelets quite
well. Simply grab a bottle — any beer or soda bottle will do —
and stack your bracelets vertically around the bottle.
If you want to make your bracelet
collection part of your décor, opt for a decorative bottle that’s
slightly larger than the bracelets. They’ll stack nicely and rest
around the bottle without falling to the bottom.
