How to Create Your Own Jewelry Organizer
Feb 1st, 2012 by fashion reporter
While 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. No wonder most jewelry boxes are a tangled mess of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings that are missing bits and pieces, here and there. If you are looking for an easy way to organize your jewelry, here are some easy jewelry organizer ideas.
Framed Jewelry Organizer
Look for frames that you can attach your burlap, ribbon, or corkboard. All you need to do is to secure the material to the frame using a glue gun, and you are all set. If you have the corkboard, you can use it to hang both stud and fish hook earrings. You can also bore in small screw-in hooks through the frame so you can hang your 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. Beautiful vintage ice molds and muffin tins that are no longer safe to use to bake muffins or make ice can be used to store your earrings. Getting a jewelry organizer that is quirky and interesting is a lot more affordable, too. As always, the embellishments are up to you. 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. Instead of wandering around, you can also buy it from the craft shop. Make sure that you also have on hand a styrofoam block, vase, and some twine. Start by choosing your base branch, and start attaching various levels of branches to it by wrapping twine around it. Make sure the twine is fully secured by putting on a layer of hot glue. 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. Push the branches inside the styrofoam, and make sure that it is sized properly so you can fit it inside your vase. 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. In fact, it is time to get inspired by all the Jewelry Organizer that can be found online. If you do not have time to get crafty and make your jewelry organizer, you can purchase jewelry organizers from jewelry shops and craft stores.
