Do-It-Yourself Jewelry Organizer Ideas
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012While most women love jewelry, the truth is that most of them really have a couple of go-to pieces and leave the rest scattered on their dresser or inside their drawers. Because your pieces are not very organized, you only end up wearing a few that you remember you own. It comes as no surprise that most women have tangled bracelets and necklaces that are hardly usable. If you are looking for an easy way to organize your jewelry, here are some easy jewelry organizer ideas.
Recycle old painting frames
Find a wooden frame that you can use to house your corkboard, lace, ribbon, or burlap sack. Use a glue gun to secure the material at the back, and you can start using it immediately. If you have the corkboard, you can use it to hang both stud and fish hook earrings. If you want the frame to be more multi-purpose, you can also drill small screw-in hooks on the side of the frames to hang necklaces. Feel free to paint on the frame or embellish it with cloth flowers.
Antique Ice Molds and Muffin Tins
In the spirit of getting crafty, you can also go to swap meets and garage sales to check out antique items that you can use as an organizer. For one, there are quirky muffin tins and ice molds that you can use to store rings, earrings, and other baubles. You may find that a quick trip to your attic or garage is all you need to do to find your new jewelry organizer. Of course, you can always decorate it in the style that suits your room best. If there is some rust or imperfections, you can use spray paint to give it a shiny new finish.
Jewelry Tree
Another charming jewelry organizer idea is the jewelry tree that is made from an actual tree branches. If you live in an area where these is a lot of foliage, look out for branches that you can use as part of your tree. You can even go around the community park to look for branches that have a lot of character, but are not too thin or too heavy. Another option is to get branches from a craft store. Make sure that you also have on hand a styrofoam block, vase, and some twine. Pick the base branch, and wrap several layers of twine around the branches that you choose to attach it. Use hot glue from your glue gun to secure the twine. If you want your jewelry tree to really make an impression, you can also spray paint it gold, fuchsia, black, or your choice of color. Cut the styrofoam block so that it fits inside your vase, and push the branches inside it. Voila! You can start hanging all sorts of baubles on your jewelry tree.
It does not matter if you choose to go for the jewelry frame, jewelry tree, or just making use of old muffin tins, what matters is that you are creative enough to create this on your own.
