This weekend found me spring cleaning - everything from washing my shower curtain liner to dusting behind the microwave. Spring cleaning also gets me in the mood to organize. After editing an entire section of Beading 101 and Beyond on organizing beading supplies, I now feel like my beads, components, and tools are in order. But what about finished jewelry? How does one organize necklaces, bracelets, and earrings so they are accessible but not cluttered? Here are a few ideas from around the Web that I just love.
Marthastewart.com shows you how to transform a vintage medicine cabinet into a wall-mounted jewelry box
that you can customize to your collection with wooden dowels, hooks,
and silk cord. What I like best about this project is that the cabinet
closes to keep jewelry from collecting dust, especially those pieces
you only wear once in a while.
Craftstylish.com highlights a wall-mounted earring and necklace hanger from Ginny’s Ear Nest. In addition to the jewelry hanger shown in the blog, the Ginny’s Ear Nest catalog
offers a number of hanger styles, depending on what jewelry you have
the most of, and free-standing and carousel versions if you’re short on
wall space or need a display for a show.
Some favorite jewelry storage solutions here at BeadStyle come from the closet. A piece of needlepoint canvas clipped to a pants hanger makes for a great earring holder. Also, I recently invested in a hanging belt organizer like this one from the Container Store to hang necklaces on. It hangs right next to my clothing in my closet so I can choose jewelry as I choose my outfit.
