I've come to amass so much it's been really hard keeping it organized. Kind of like a closet. If you cant see everything, you don't know what you have. I'd spend forever digging through my jewelry and get so excited to find something I bought a million years ago and haven't worn since because it got lost amongst all the beads and pendants.
There's tons of jewelry organizers. I feel like I've tried them all. I've got a super cool genuine Japanese musical jewelry box, but I save that for the good stuff. I bought one of those tree thingys but my necklaces are sooooo long and thick, I have to wrap them around a million times then they get tangled on the tree. I ended up with a high tangled mess anyways...
Over the summer, I got into making painted signs using old pieces of wood I found. I had a bunch of skinny scraps that were nicely weathered. I went to a Habitat Restore place right around the corner and found some cool old knobs. I'm sure you can find some at flea markets.
I played around with the placement of them and drilled some holes, evenly spaced apart. I didn't measure. I'm a pro at eyeballing things.
I screwed in the knobs, used a piece of wire strung around the back of the screws and I was done!
I also found little hooks that act just like push pins.
It hangs proudly in my bathroom and looks pretty cool!
I ended up making two of these, just because I needed more room!
So I came up with another easy inexpensive idea to hold my lil studs....
Cork boards! I found a pack of 4 skinny ones at Jo Ann Fabrics for about $4. Since my studs were a bit longer than the cork was thick, I just doubled it up. It came with its own double sided sticky foam to! All I had to do was push my earring through, peel off the sticky foam and hang it! Now I don't have to spend forever trying to find a matching pair. And I can see them all at once.
You're Welcome.
